Living in Morgenstond-West, The Hague

Morgenstond-West is a quiet, ground-based neighbourhood on the south-west side of The Hague, sandwiched between the Erasmusweg and the railway line towards Zoetermeer. The district was largely built in the 1950s and 1960s as part of The Hague's post-war expansion neighbourhoods. This is reflected in the architecture: sleek porch flats, semi-detached houses and terraced houses with small front gardens. Not spectacular, but functional and relatively green. The neighbourhood has a quiet character that you won't find in all parts of The Hague.

One of the most striking features is the proximity of Zuiderpark, one of the largest city parks in The Hague. Resident Jarno describes it aptly: "It's nice and quiet, lots of children to play outside with and always close to the woods." That sense of space and greenery is one of the neighbourhood's strongest assets, which is also reflected in the green score of 7.5 in resident reviews. Families with young children clearly benefit from this.

For daily shopping, you can go to the shops along the Erasmusweg and the Leyweg shopping centre, which is within cycling distance and offers a wide range of supermarkets, drugstores and services. The Leyweg hospital (HMC Westeinde is elsewhere, but the Leyweg has a health centre nearby) and various primary schools are in the immediate vicinity. The education score in resident reviews stands at 2.0, which is low and indicates that parents are critical of the local school offering. It is wise to compare schools in advance via the Municipality of The Hague.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores a 6.5. Tram 6 and several bus lines connect Morgenstond-West with the centre of The Hague, and via the Erasmusweg you are quickly on the A4 and A12. The centre of The Hague can be reached by tram in about twenty minutes. Motorists appreciate the relatively good parking options compared to the city centre, although this is not always a given here during busy times.

Compared to neighbouring areas such as Morgenstond-Oost, Morgenstond-West has a slightly quieter and more family-oriented character. Morgenstond-Zuid has a similar layout but is closer to the Lozerlaan. The overall resident score of 6.2 out of 10 is honest: the neighbourhood is functional and green, but lacks the appeal and amenities of more expensive districts. More resident reviews and neighbourhood data can be found on the neighbourhood page of Morgenstond-West. For a broader perspective on the district, the page about Morgenstond is also worth a look.

Who is a home for sale in Morgenstond-West interesting for?

Morgenstond-West mainly appeals to young families and first-time buyers who want to buy in The Hague without paying top dollar. With an average sale price of €388,308 and entry-level homes from around €220,000, there are more opportunities than in many other The Hague districts. The large group of 25-45 year olds in the neighbourhood confirms this picture. Movers looking for more space for their money can find a terraced house here that would be out of reach in more central districts. But be realistic: bidding wars sometimes happen here too, and the limited supply of 39 transactions in a year means you need to act quickly.
