Living in Oostbroek-Zuid: multicultural, busy and affordable

Oostbroek-Zuid is a typical urban neighbourhood in The Hague with a distinct character. The buildings largely date from the 1950s and 1960s: porch flats of three to four storeys, interspersed with some post-war terraced houses along the wider streets. It is a compact, densely built-up area where you feel the city. That means liveliness, but also bustle, and not always in a pleasant way.

The neighbourhood is distinctly multicultural. Resident Elif sums it up succinctly: "Multicultural friendly neighbours." That matches what you see on the streets, a mix of backgrounds, Turkish and Moroccan shops along the Hoefkade and Vaillantlaan, and a lively street scene. At the same time, not everyone is equally positive. Katja calls the neighbourhood outright "Ghetto" and complains about "many homeless people, cars that think it's a racetrack" and fat bikes on the pavement. The cleanliness score from residents is the lowest sub-score at 4.3, and you can recognise this from rubbish bags next to full underground containers and litter in some places.

In terms of amenities, Oostbroek-Zuid scores well (8.7 from residents). Along the Vaillantlaan and in the immediate vicinity, you will find several supermarkets, including a Lidl and various ethnic shops. You don't need to leave the neighbourhood for daily groceries. There are also schools: primary schools such as De Walvis and Al Rawda are in the immediate area. Zuiderpark, one of the largest city parks in The Hague, borders the south side of the neighbourhood and offers space for running, walking and sports. Yet residents do not rate the green spaces within the neighbourhood itself highly (6.3), as the streets are quite stony.

Accessibility is the absolute standout at 9.3. Tram lines 6 and 12 stop in the neighbourhood and take you to Den Haag Centraal in a quarter of an hour. Hollands Spoor station is within cycling distance. By car, you can quickly leave the city via the Neherkade and A12 motorway. This connectivity makes the neighbourhood popular with people who work in the city but don't want to pay for the centre.

Compared to neighbouring district Rustenburg, Oostbroek-Zuid is slightly cheaper and somewhat less sought after by young professionals. Oostbroek-Noord has a similar profile but is closer to the Hoefkade.

Who is a home for sale in Oostbroek-Zuid interesting for?

With an entry price around €190,000 for an apartment, Oostbroek-Zuid is one of the few neighbourhoods in The Hague where first-time buyers with a modal income can still buy a home.

Families also live there (1,345 children under 15), but the slightly larger homes with three rooms are scarcer and more expensive. Anyone wanting to buy an apartment in Oostbroek-Zuid must reckon with overbidding and competition from investors. The private rental sector is large, which drives up prices.
