House prices in Rivierenbuurt-Noord, The Hague
The owner-occupied market in Rivierenbuurt-Noord is relatively small: only 25% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, the rest is rented out. This limited supply has an impact on prices. In the past twelve months, 25 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €569,560, with a range from €175,000 to €1,995,000. With an average living area of 102 m², this works out at a price of approximately €5,584 per square metre. The WOZ value is €336,000, which is slightly below The Hague average of €354,000, but significantly above the average of the neighbouring district Stationsbuurt (€253,000). This difference reflects the relatively quieter location and better housing quality in this part of the city. The supply mainly consists of porch flats and upper-floor apartment-type properties from the 1950s and 1960s, with the occasional townhouse or more spacious flat.

Living in Rivierenbuurt-Noord, The Hague
Rivierenbuurt-Noord is one of those neighbourhoods in The Hague that doesn't immediately catch your eye when you drive through, but once you've lived there for a while, you won't want to leave. The atmosphere is quiet yet quite urban: wide tree-lined streets, a mix of porch flats and some larger homes, and a population largely consisting of young professionals and dual-income earners between 25 and 45. Single-person households are the largest group (1,420 out of approximately 1,980 homes), which is reflected in the neighbourhood culture: many people live independently but are still involved in their immediate surroundings.
The buildings mostly date from the post-war reconstruction period, the 1950s and 1960s, with characteristic porch flats and well-maintained streets. It's not a neighbourhood with grand architecture, but it does have a recognisable, human scale. The Rivierenbuurt as a whole borders The Hague city centre, and you notice that in its accessibility. Den Haag Centraal station is about a ten-minute bike ride away, and Hollands Spoor is also easily reachable. Several tram lines run through or past the neighbourhood, including connections towards Scheveningen and the centre. For those travelling by car: the connection to the A12 and A4 via the Utrechtsebaan and Neherkade is reasonably quick, although parking in the neighbourhood is a point of attention. Residents report that parking pressure is noticeable in the evenings.
In terms of daily amenities, the neighbourhood is well equipped. There are several supermarkets within walking distance, including an Albert Heijn and a Dirk in the immediate vicinity. For children, there are primary schools nearby, and Zuiderpark is a few minutes' bike ride away for those seeking greenery. Loosduinseweg and Laan van Meerdervoort offer a diverse range of shops and eateries for daily errands and a terrace in between.
On the neighbourhood main page of Rivierenbuurt-Noord you will find resident reviews and scores per category. Residents appreciate the central location and the tranquillity the neighbourhood offers despite its proximity to the city centre. One resident writes: "It's surprisingly quiet here for being so close to the centre. You have everything within reach, but in the evenings it's pleasantly quiet." Criticism sometimes focuses on parking pressure and the quality of some porch flats that are outdated. If you compare the neighbourhood with the nearby Rivierenbuurt-Zuid, the housing types are similar but prices in the north are slightly higher due to the shorter distance to the centre. Huygenspark, another neighbourhood in the same district, has a slightly more urban character with more small apartments.
