Living in Scheveningen: village character a stone's throw from the sea
Scheveningen is no ordinary Hague district. It has its own identity that residents describe as a mix of working-class neighbourhood and seaside resort. On Buurtje.nl, residents rate the district a 7.7 out of 10, based on ten reviews. Accessibility (8.4) and amenities (8.4) score notably high. Resident Dexter Koot sums it up: "The neighbourhood offers many important amenities in terms of daily necessities but also entertainment. There is a reasonably good bond between the neighbours." That sense of community (8.0) is noticeable on the streets, especially in the old village around the Keizerstraat. Resident Sofie calls it "just behind the touristy coast 'the village', cosy with small shops," though she notes that unfortunately there is also vacancy and that people sometimes leave their rubbish lying around. Read more experiences on the Scheveningen district page where all resident reviews and district data are compiled.
In terms of amenities, you are well-served. On the Keizerstraat and in the Scheveningen shopping area, you will find speciality shops, an Albert Heijn, and various eateries. For daily groceries, there is also a Jumbo on the Badhuisstraat. Families with children, and there are many in Scheveningen, can turn to primary schools such as De Vliegende Hollander and the Schevenings Lyceum for secondary education. Westbroekpark is within cycling distance and offers space for walking, and the beach is of course also a daily option. Sports club ADO Den Haag Zaalvoetbal and water sports club De Scheveningse Surfclub are popular among residents. In Oud Scheveningen you will find the most authentic village feel, while the Badplaats is more focused on tourism and nightlife.
Accessibility is one of the strongest points. Tram lines 1 and 9 take you to The Hague Central Station in about twenty minutes, and bus line 22 connects Scheveningen with Duindorp and the Statenkwartier. By car, via the Zwolsestraat and Sportlaan, you are quickly on the Utrechtsebaan towards the A12. The downside: parking is a recurring pain point. Resident Julius gives the district an 8.9 but notes that it is "very difficult to park." That is something to consider if you are looking at a home without its own parking space. Fat bikes also cause annoyance according to resident Marije, especially in the evenings. Those who prefer a quieter area can look at owner-occupied homes in the adjacent Belgisch Park or the green Westbroekpark en Duttendel.
Does Scheveningen suit you as a buyer?
With an average purchase price of over €680,000, buying a home in Scheveningen is not for everyone. First-time buyers with a modal income (the average disposable income here is €41,300) are more likely to qualify for buying an apartment in Scheveningen at the lower end of the market, around €225,000 to €300,000 in the Visserijbuurt. Movers-up and dual-income couples will find more space in the more expensive segments. Keep in mind overbidding, which is more the rule than the exception in this district, plus around 2% transfer tax and notary costs. Seniors appreciate the proximity of amenities and the flat terrain.

Pleasant living in a neighbourhood with lots of children
Auto-translated to English by AIIf you are a Scheveningen, then you are (unfortunately) one of us. But most Hagenaars, and whoever else, friendly, everyone who behaves, what matters is harmony.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately, people leave their rubbish lying around. Tourism is big, but visitors are usually up for a chat. Just behind the tourist coast is 'the village'. Cosy with small shops. Keizerstraat could be better signposted. There is a lot of vacancy; it could be a cosy street if property prices weren't so high. I'm in favour of a cosier Keizerstraat that isn't too touristy but does connect with a tourist area…
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience with the neighbourhood is that there is very little nuisance (such as crime or the like). In the evenings, there are often young people racing by on fatbikes. That's the less pleasant part, besides the fact that this happens all day long. Furthermore, my neighbourhood is diverse; sometimes children play in the street, people walk their dogs or go to sports or the like. Most people are friendly, but unfortunately rarely say hello (I think that's also the spirit of the times). There are also occasionally confused people. Otherwise, the community is fine and there is very open communication!

Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood with everything you need on the same street. Just a shame that all the traffic has to go through the same street.
