Homes for sale in Rosenburg, Den Haag

House prices and market figures for Rosenburg, The Hague

The owner-occupied market in Rosenburg is compact but active. Of the more than 1,860 homes in the neighbourhood, only 30% are owner-occupied; the rest are rental properties, a large proportion of which are owned by housing corporations. This limited share of owner-occupied homes means that relatively few properties are available at any one time. Over the past twelve months, 14 homes changed hands, at an average purchase price of €389,143. The price range runs from €250,000 to €635,000, indicating that both entry-level homes and more spacious apartments come onto the market. Based on an average living area of 94 m², the price per square metre works out at approximately €4,140.

The average WOZ value in Rosenburg is €301,000. That is higher than the average for the surrounding district Waldeck (€287,000), but clearly lower than The Hague average of €354,000. Rosenburg is therefore relatively affordable for The Hague, although actual transaction prices, driven by overbidding and scarcity, average above €389,000. Current asking prices and selling times can be found in the overview at the top of this page.

Living in Rosenburg, The Hague

Rosenburg is a quiet, predominantly older residential neighbourhood in the western part of The Hague, nestled between Westbroekpark and the Lozerlaan. The buildings largely date from the 1950s and 1960s: porch-access flats, gallery flats and a few terraced houses define the streetscape. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its architectural appeal, but rather for its calmness and the presence of greenery. The Laan van Meerdervoort and the Lozerlaan form the busy arteries, but the residential streets in between are remarkably quiet for an urban environment.

The neighbourhood has a strongly ageing character: more than a third of the 3,330 residents are aged 65 or older, and single-person households are by far the most common. This colours daily life: it is not a neighbourhood where you see many children playing in the street, but one where neighbours know each other and peace is valued. Residents appreciate the proximity of Westbroekpark, where you can walk, run or simply relax within walking distance. The park is one of the neighbourhood's strongest assets and is frequently mentioned in reviews.

For daily groceries, residents rely on the supermarkets on Laan van Meerdervoort or the shops towards the centre of Loosduinen. A large shopping centre is lacking in the immediate vicinity, which some residents experience as a drawback. Primary schools are present in the district, but secondary education options are located a bit further away, towards the city centre or Scheveningen.

In terms of accessibility, Rosenburg scores reasonably well. HTM bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the centre of The Hague and The Hague Central Station, but there is no dedicated train or metro stop. By bicycle, you can reach the centre in about twenty minutes. Access to the A4 and A12 motorways is relatively quick via the Lozerlaan, making the neighbourhood attractive for commuters who use the car. Parking is possible on most streets, although it sometimes requires patience during busy periods.

On the neighbourhood main page of Rosenburg you can read what residents themselves write about their neighbourhood, including scores per category such as safety, greenery and amenities. One resident describes the neighbourhood as: "Quiet and green, you notice it's an older people's neighbourhood, but that also brings a certain peace that you don't find in other The Hague neighbourhoods." That typifies Rosenburg well: not a trendy city district, but a stable, green neighbourhood for those who value tranquillity over liveliness.

For those who want to compare the neighbourhood with the immediate surroundings: Waldeck-Zuid and Nieuw Waldeck are nearby and have a similarly quiet character, although the housing mix varies per neighbourhood. The Componistenbuurt has slightly more amenities within walking distance. For a broader picture of the supply in the surrounding district, check the owner-occupied homes in Waldeck as a whole.

For whom is a home in Rosenburg a good choice?

Rosenburg best suits seniors, retirees or those seeking peace who value greenery and a manageable living environment. First-time buyers with a budget around €250,000 to €350,000 can also find an entry-level home here, although supply is limited and overbidding in this segment is not uncommon. Families with young children will probably find the neighbourhood less suitable due to the limited amenities for children and the predominantly older character. Those considering renting rather than buying can also look at the rental properties in Rosenburg, as 70% of the housing stock is rental. When buying, pay attention to the structural condition of the older flats: foundation reports and VvE health are extra points of attention here.

What residents say about Rosenburg

Residents of Rosenburg particularly appreciate the neighbourhood for its tranquillity, greenery and social cohesion among long-term residents. Criticisms focus on the limited range of shops in the immediate vicinity and accessibility by public transport outside peak hours. One resident writes: "You actually live here very pleasantly if you are not dependent on many shops around the corner. Westbroekpark makes up for a lot."
