Living in Moerwijk-Noord: an honest picture of the neighbourhood

Moerwijk-Noord is nestled between the Erasmusweg to the north and the Melis Stokelaan to the south. It is a typical post-war reconstruction neighbourhood from the 1950s, with linear development, three- to four-storey porch flats, and the occasional block of terraced houses. The streets are wide with plenty of greenery in between, giving the neighbourhood a more spacious feel than you might expect based on the building density. Along the Betje Wolffstraat and Aagje Dekenstraat you will find most of the shops for daily groceries, including a Lidl and various small specialist shops. For a larger shopping offer, head to the De Savornin Lohmanplein shopping centre in neighbouring Moerwijk-Oost, a few minutes away by bike.

Accessibility is a strong point. Tram stops on the Melis Stokelaan (lines 3 and 4) take you to Den Haag Centraal in about twenty minutes. By car, you can quickly reach the A4 towards Amsterdam or Rotterdam via the Erasmusweg. Station Moerwijk is just outside the neighbourhood in Moerwijk-West and offers Randstadrail connections. Cycling to The Hague city centre takes a quarter of an hour.

The neighbourhood has a mixed population composition. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (2,315 residents), and single-person households form the majority (1,945 of the households). The average income of €26,900 is well below The Hague average of €38,600, and the labour participation rate of 57% is on the low side. You notice this in the streetscape: the neighbourhood is not a showpiece, but functional and affordable.

Residents give Moerwijk-Noord a total score of 6.0. Notable is the 10 for green space, which makes sense given the wide green strips and the nearby Zuiderpark. The scores for amenities (4.0) and housing (4.0) are less positive. One resident sums it up succinctly: "it's good", but immediately adds that it's "not that good". That double message is honest: you can live here perfectly well, but don't expect luxury or a vibrant level of amenities. Compared to the broader district Moerwijk, the northern part scores slightly better in terms of WOZ value, but the challenges around liveability and amenities are similar. In Moerwijk-Zuid you will find a similar type of housing, but with a slightly different street profile.

In terms of green spaces and sports, the Zuiderpark is a major asset. This city park with sports fields, playgrounds and walking paths is within walking distance. The municipality of Den Haag has been investing in the renewal of Moerwijk as a whole for years, with renovation projects and sustainability improvements to the housing stock. This could affect property values in the long term.

Is a home for sale in Moerwijk-Noord right for you?

Families with young children should note that the score for education (5.0) is average; there are primary schools in the area, but the choice is not very large. Seniors will find ground-floor apartments here, but the low score for amenities is a point of attention. Want to rent first to get to know the neighbourhood?
