Buying a house in The Hague: the housing market in 2026
The Hague is a city that needs no introduction. Government centre, international city with the Peace Palace and tribunals, but also Scheveningen, the Haagse Markt and an enormous diversity of neighbourhoods. With over 566,000 residents, it is the third city of the Netherlands, and the housing market reflects that. Of the 270,220 homes, 42% are owner-occupied and 58% are rental properties. The average WOZ value is €354,000, but actual selling prices are higher: in the past twelve months, 3,886 homes were sold for an average of €501,739. The range is enormous, from around €109,000 for a small apartment to over €7 million for the most expensive villas in Benoordenhout. The market is strong. Homes sell quickly and overbidding is more the rule than the exception in popular neighbourhoods. At the top of this page you will find the latest figures on asking prices and selling times. Buurtje.nl bundles the supply from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you not only choose a home but also a neighbourhood that suits you.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in The Hague
The Hague has dozens of neighbourhoods, each with its own character. From the stately avenues around the Plein to the working-class districts behind Hollands Spoor station, from the dunes near Kijkduin to the new-build in Binckhorst. Below are the neighbourhoods that stand out most for buyers.
Belgisch Park, quiet living between dune and boulevard
Belgisch Park is nestled between Scheveningen and Westbroekpark and is one of the best-rated neighbourhoods in the city: residents give it an 8.9 on Buurtje.nl. It is a green, quiet neighbourhood with wide avenues, lots of pre-war architecture and the sea within walking distance. The neighbourhood mainly attracts movers and dual-income couples looking for space without leaving the centre. Prices are above the The Hague average, but you get a lot of living quality in return.

Bomen- en Bloemenbuurt, the family-friendly heart of the Vogelwijk area
With a neighbourhood score of 8.5 based on 11 reviews, the Bomen- en Bloemenbuurt is one of the most popular family neighbourhoods in The Hague. Wide streets, lots of greenery, good primary schools and an active neighbourhood life. One resident wrote: "Nice neighbourhood to raise children, everything is nearby and the atmosphere is village-like." Purchase prices are slightly above the city average, but for single-family homes with a garden that is not unusual in The Hague. The neighbourhood is easily accessible via trams 1 and 9 towards the centre and Scheveningen.
Benoordenhout, the green and affluent north
Benoordenhout borders the Haagse Bos and the Scheveningse Bosjes and is one of the most expensive neighbourhoods in the city. Residents rate the neighbourhood an 8.5. Here you will find spacious villas, embassy homes and apartments in the higher segment. It is the neighbourhood for buyers willing to invest heavily in peace, space and greenery. Den Haag Centraal station is within cycling distance. View the available homes in Benoordenhout.
Geuzen- en Statenkwartier, character with an urban edge
The Geuzen- en Statenkwartier scores an 8.3 among residents and is popular with young professionals and couples. The neighbourhood has a mix of townhouses, upper floors and apartments, with the Frederik Hendriklaan as a cosy shopping street. Westbroekpark and the beach are nearby. Prices are steep but lower than in Benoordenhout, making it an attractive alternative for those seeking character.
Archipelbuurt, monumental living near the Peace Palace
The Archipelbuurt is one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods in The Hague, with monumental buildings, consulates and the Peace Palace around the corner. Residents give the neighbourhood a 7.9. It is a sought-after location for expats and buyers who love architecture. The downside: parking is difficult and prices per square metre are among the highest in the city. But the living pleasure is great.
In addition, there are neighbourhoods such as the Centrum (7.8), where you are in the middle of The Hague's nightlife, Bezuidenhout (7.4) with Den Haag Centraal station within walking distance, and Bouwlust (6.9) as an affordable alternative in The Hague Southwest. Each neighbourhood has its own dynamics. On the municipal page of The Hague you will find all ratings and reviews per neighbourhood.
What to look out for when buying a home in The Hague?
Firstly: look beyond the well-known neighbourhoods. Neighbourhoods like Duindorp (8.1) or Bohemen en Meer en Bos (7.8) offer good value for money and are sometimes overlooked by buyers who only look at the Statenkwartier or the Archipelbuurt. Secondly: the The Hague market is competitive. With an average income of €38,600 in the municipality and purchase prices well above that, solid financing is essential. Expect overbidding in popular segments. Thirdly: accessibility varies greatly per neighbourhood. The Hague has three major stations (Centraal, HS and Laan van NOI) and an extensive tram network, but in the suburbs you are more dependent on the car. Check the public transport connections before you decide. Finally: use neighbourhood data to support your choice. On Buurtje.nl you can compare scores per neighbourhood on safety, greenery, facilities and more. This prevents surprises after the purchase. And also consider renting a home in The Hague if the purchase market proves too tight.
