What does a home in Morgenstond cost?
Morgenstond has traditionally been a true rental neighbourhood: 76% of the more than 10,000 homes are rental properties, and only 24% are owner-occupied. This makes the supply of homes for sale relatively limited, but also affordable compared to the rest of The Hague. The average WOZ value is €232,000, significantly lower than The Hague average of €354,000. However, actual transaction prices are higher: in the past year, 64 homes were sold for an average of €373,523, with a range of €200,000 to €690,000. The average size of sold homes is 87 m². The supply mainly consists of porch and gallery flats from the post-war reconstruction period, supplemented by a smaller number of single-family homes.

Living in Morgenstond: an honest picture of a neighbourhood with two faces
Morgenstond scores a 6.4 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl based on 9 resident reviews. That is not a top rating, and residents are honest about it. What stands out: amenities score the highest at 7.9. That is not surprising, because you have everything within easy reach here. Leyenburg Shopping Centre is on the edge of the neighbourhood with a wide range of supermarkets, shops and eateries. In addition, there are various smaller shops and a market along the Leyweg and in the vicinity. Resident Giovanna (8.3/10) writes: "Everything is nice and close by in terms of shops and public transport. I live in an apartment that I am very satisfied with and never want to leave." That positive sentiment about accessibility (6.8) is justified: tram lines 3 and 4 connect Morgenstond to The Hague Central Station in about 20 minutes, and the bus station at Leyenburg offers connections to Zoetermeer and Delft. By car, via the Lozerlaan you are quickly on the A4 and the Utrechtsebaan.
But there is also a downside. The cleanliness score is 4.6, the lowest of all categories, and you recognise this in almost every review. Several residents complain about rubbish next to containers, litter in the grass and rats. One resident reports: "There are many rats, a lot of food on the street. It is really dirty and car windows are regularly smashed." The safety score (6.3) reflects this: there is talk of car break-ins, drug nuisance and incidents. Reviewer J. Benning notes that the neighbourhood is "deteriorating" with more nuisance from loitering groups. The municipality of The Hague is investing in liveability through the Samen Morgenstond programme, but residents experience this to varying degrees. More background and all resident reviews can be found on the Morgenstond neighbourhood page.
In terms of green space, the neighbourhood has Zuiderpark directly to the south, one of the largest city parks in the Netherlands. Within the neighbourhood itself, there are wide green strips between the flat blocks, although maintenance sometimes leaves something to be desired. For education (score 6.0), there are primary schools such as De Kleine Wereld and Het Palet, and secondary schools in adjacent neighbourhoods. The sub-neighbourhoods within Morgenstond differ: in Morgenstond-Zuid you will find more single-family homes, while the eastern part is closer to the tram stops. Morgenstond-West borders Zuiderpark and is therefore greener.
Does Morgenstond suit you as a buyer?
Buying a home in Morgenstond is particularly interesting for starters and singles with a more modest budget. With an average income of €29,800 in the neighbourhood and purchase prices from €200,000, buying an apartment in Morgenstond is feasible without extreme overbidding, something that is unthinkable in neighbourhoods like de Archipelbuurt or Benoordenhout. However, do take into account additional costs: transfer tax (2% for your own home), notary and valuation costs add up. The limited supply of homes for sale (24% of the stock) means you have to act quickly when something becomes available. If you are looking for more flexibility, also check out rental homes in Morgenstond. Be honest with yourself about liveability: the low cleanliness and safety scores are not a detail, but a daily reality.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbours do say hello politely but we don't have any further contact with them and we don't want to either, we don't like that.

Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a quiet street, but it's not very safe further into the neighbourhood. I live in an apartment that I'm very happy with and never want to leave. Everything is conveniently close in terms of shops and public transport, etc. But I do think the grass around the building is a mess... a shame.
