Living in Morgenstond-Zuid, The Hague

Morgenstond-Zuid is a densely built post-war neighbourhood in the southwest of The Hague, constructed during the reconstruction period of the 1950s. The streets are dominated by stacked buildings: porch flats and gallery flats with modest apartments, interspersed with a few rows of single-family homes. It is a compact, urban neighbourhood without much space or greenery, which is also reflected in the residents' green score: 4.5 out of 10. Residents give the neighbourhood an average of 5.6 out of 10, based on four reviews. That is frankly not a high score, and the scores for safety (4.8) and appearance (3.5) make it clear that this is not a carefree neighbourhood.

Residents frequently mention problems with litter and hygiene. One resident writes: "There are many rats, a lot of food and such on the street. It is really dirty and car windows are regularly smashed." Another resident notes that social cohesion is limited: neighbours greet each other, but genuine involvement is lacking. This picture fits a neighbourhood with many single-person households (1,810 out of approximately 3,100 households) and a diverse population composition. View all reviews and neighbourhood data on the information page for Morgenstond-Zuid.

What residents are positive about, however, are the amenities: they score remarkably high at 8.8. This matches the neighbourhood's location. Leyweg Shopping Centre is within cycling distance and offers a wide range of supermarkets, shops and services. For daily groceries, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. There are also primary schools and childcare facilities in the immediate vicinity, which explains the education score of 6.0.

Accessibility scores 5.2, which is somewhat surprising given the public transport connections. Several bus lines run through the neighbourhood towards the centre of The Hague and to The Hague Central Station. By bike, you can reach the centre in about twenty minutes. The connection to the A4 and A12 motorways is reasonably good by car via the Lozerlaan. Yet residents experience accessibility as moderate, possibly due to the frequency of public transport outside peak hours.

Compared to neighbouring areas, Morgenstond-Zuid has a somewhat rougher character. Morgenstond-West and Morgenstond-Oost have a similar structure but may differ in liveability and supply. The broader Morgenstond district has a higher average WOZ value and a slightly higher income level, suggesting that some parts of the district are more attractive for buyers seeking more choice.

Is a home in Morgenstond-Zuid right for you?

Morgenstond-Zuid mainly attracts first-time buyers who want to live in The Hague but lack the means for more expensive neighbourhoods. With an average transaction price of €292,038 and homes changing hands from as low as €200,000, this is one of the few neighbourhoods in The Hague where buying an apartment is still within reach for people on a median income. The labour participation rate of 54% and an average income of €27,200 are below The Hague average, which characterises the neighbourhood's profile. As a buyer, be honest about expectations: it is not a neighbourhood that will improve quickly, and the liveability issues are real. The scarce supply of owner-occupied homes also means you need to act fast when something becomes available. If you prefer to rent first, you can look at rental homes in Morgenstond-Zuid as an intermediate step.
