Homes for sale in Schildersbuurt-Noord, Den Haag

House prices and market figures for Schildersbuurt-Noord, The Hague

The owner-occupied market in Schildersbuurt-Noord is limited in size, but certainly not uninteresting. Only 15% of the more than 4,200 homes in the neighbourhood are owner-occupied; the vast majority are social housing. This makes supply scarce, and scarcity drives competition for popular properties. Over the past twelve months, 28 homes were sold, with an average sale price of €434,857. The range runs from €147,000 to €675,000, indicating that both entry-level homes and more spacious apartments come onto the market. With an average living area of 98 m², the price per square metre comes to approximately €4,437. The WOZ value is €237,000, slightly below the district average for the Schildersbuurt (€241,000) and significantly lower than The Hague average of €354,000. However, this difference does not translate one-to-one into sale prices: due to limited supply and the central location, these are higher than the WOZ value suggests. The supply mainly consists of upstairs apartments and maisonettes in pre-war buildings. Check the current supply and average asking price at the top of this page for the most recent status.

Living in Schildersbuurt-Noord, The Hague

Schildersbuurt-Noord is a densely populated, urban neighbourhood in the heart of The Hague, with a distinct character of its own. The streets are named after painters: Vermeerstraat, Rembrandtstraat, Rubensstraat, which immediately gives the neighbourhood a recognisable identity. The buildings largely date from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: narrow streets, tall pre-war buildings with high ceilings and often generous windows. If you are looking for a new-build apartment with a lift, you will search here in vain. If you love character, patina and a neighbourhood that is alive, you can find your place here.

The neighbourhood borders the Hoefkade and the Rijswijkseweg, busy through roads that mark the southern boundary. This brings some urban noise, something to consider when choosing a home. Towards the north it is quieter, with streets leading to the Valkenboskade and the area around Zuiderpark, within cycling distance. Zuiderpark itself offers greenery and space, a welcome contrast to the compact streets in the neighbourhood itself.

For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. On and around the Hoefkade and the Valkenbospleinbuurt, there are supermarkets, greengrocers and bakeries, with a mix that reflects the diverse population of the neighbourhood. Primary schools are nearby, including schools on the Laan van Meerdervoort and in adjacent districts. For secondary education and further amenities, the city centre is easily accessible.

In terms of accessibility, Schildersbuurt-Noord scores reasonably well. Tram lines 1 and 9 run via the Laan van Meerdervoort and connect the neighbourhood with the centre of The Hague and The Hague Central Station, with a travel time of about ten to fifteen minutes. By bike, you can reach Central Station or the city centre in a quarter of an hour. The car is less practical: parking is paid in many streets and sometimes tight. The connection to the A12 and A4 motorways is via the Utrechtsebaan or the Rijswijkseweg.

The neighbourhood has a mixed character. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, but young adults and families also live here. The proportion of single-person households is high, over 2,000 out of nearly 4,300 homes. The labour participation rate, at 45%, is lower than The Hague average, and the average income of €23,700 is well below the city average of €38,600. This colours the neighbourhood: it is not a gentrifying hotspot, but neither is it a neighbourhood that stands still. Residents appreciate the central location and the liveliness. One resident writes: "You have everything within walking distance here, the atmosphere is truly Haags and the neighbours still know each other." Less positive are comments about parking nuisance and the bustle on some through roads.

Who is a home in Schildersbuurt-Noord interesting for?

Buying a home in Schildersbuurt-Noord is realistic for starters with a budget from around €200,000 for a smaller apartment, although the lower end of the market will rarely appear. The mid-range, around €400,000 to €500,000, is the most active. Movers looking for space can sometimes find a more spacious upstairs home here for less money than in adjacent, more sought-after districts. The limited owner-occupied share of 15% means there is little supply; if you have your eye on a property, it is wise to act quickly. To be honest: overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. If you want more choice, you can also look at rental homes in Schildersbuurt-Noord as an intermediate solution, or explore districts such as Benoordenhout for a different type of home and price level.
