Living in Rijslag, The Hague
Rijslag is a quiet, green neighbourhood on the north side of Scheveningen, nestled between the dunes and the built-up area of The Hague. The name refers to the 'rijslagweg' that used to run through the dunes, and this landscape character is still palpable. The neighbourhood exudes a certain tranquillity that you won't find in many other parts of The Hague, while the sea and beach are within cycling distance.
The housing stock largely consists of buildings from the 1960s and 1970s: porch flats, gallery flats and a limited number of single-family homes. This also explains the relatively high rental share of 41% among private landlords. Those looking for a home to buy here face a modest supply that is quickly snapped up. Apartments are the most common type of home, but there are also more spacious homes to be found towards the dune edge.
What the neighbourhood specifically has to offer: the Scheveningseweg and the area around the Madurodam quarter are within a short cycling distance. For daily groceries, there are supermarkets in the immediate vicinity, and the shopping streets of Scheveningen Dorp are a few minutes' cycle away. Westbroekpark, with its famous rose garden, borders the neighbourhood and is a popular destination for residents. The dunes themselves are accessible on foot or by bike via several entrances.
In terms of accessibility, Rijslag scores highly, and this is confirmed by residents: accessibility gets a perfect 10 in resident reviews. Tram 11 and several bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the centre of The Hague and Central Station, from where you can reach the city centre in about 20 minutes. By car, the A44 towards Amsterdam is accessible via Wassenaar, and the N14 provides a fast connection to The Hague's road network.
The neighbourhood has 1,740 residents, with a notably large group of over-65s (455 people) and relatively many single-person households (475). This gives Rijslag a somewhat quieter, more mature character compared to family neighbourhoods elsewhere in The Hague. The education level is high: 46% of residents have completed higher education, and the average income of €45,500 is clearly above The Hague average of €38,600.
Resident Dexter Koot describes the neighbourhood as "the complete package": he points to the wide range of facilities for both daily needs and relaxation, and says the bond between neighbours is reasonably good. That nuance is honest: it's not a neighbourhood where everyone knows each other, but there is a certain social cohesion. More reviews and neighbourhood data can be found on the Rijslag neighbourhood main page.
If you want to compare neighbouring areas: Oud Scheveningen has a more village-like character with more historic buildings, while Scheveningen Badplaats is livelier but also busier in the summer season. Vissershaven offers a completely different living environment, more harbour-oriented and developing. Rijslag sits between these areas in character: quieter than the seaside resort, but with more urban amenities than the fishing harbour.
Is a home to buy in Rijslag right for you?
Rijslag mainly attracts buyers who are looking for peace and greenery, but don't want to compromise on accessibility.

For first-time buyers, buying in Rijslag is difficult: with an average sale price of €663,200 and a relatively small supply, overbidding is not uncommon.
