What does a home in Stationsbuurt cost?
Stationsbuurt is predominantly a rental neighbourhood: only 13% of the more than 7,100 homes are owner-occupied, compared to 86% rented. This makes the supply of homes for sale limited, and when something becomes available, it often goes quickly. The average WOZ value is €253,000, significantly lower than The Hague average of €354,000. That sounds attractive, but the actual transaction prices tell a different story. In the past twelve months, 54 homes were sold for an average of €452,806, with a range from €160,000 to €1,995,000. The average living area of 85 m² shows that these are mainly apartments, from compact studios to more spacious upper-floor flats. Want to see current asking prices and selling times?

Living in Stationsbuurt: it doesn't get more central in The Hague
Anyone considering buying a home in Stationsbuurt should know that you end up right in the beating heart of The Hague. The area around Den Haag Centraal and Hollands Spoor is anything but a quiet suburb. It is urban, busy, diverse and incredibly well-connected. From Hollands Spoor station, you are at Rotterdam Centraal in eight minutes, and Den Haag Centraal takes you to Schiphol in half an hour. Trams 1, 9, 16 and 17 stop around the corner, and by bus you are quickly in Scheveningen or Loosduinen. The A12 and Utrechtsebaan are within five minutes by car.
Residents on Buurtje.nl give Stationsbuurt an 8.1 out of 10. Notable are the perfect scores for safety (10) and amenities (10). The latter is not surprising: the Haagse Markt, one of the largest markets in Europe, is within walking distance. On Stationsweg and along Turfmarkt you will find supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo, alongside countless international shops and eateries. Zuiderpark and Huygenspark provide green space in the immediate vicinity, and residents also appreciate this with an 8 for green space. On the neighbourhood page of Stationsbuurt you can read all reviews and experiences from residents.
In terms of education, there are primary schools such as De Piramide and the Haagse Schoolvereniging in the area. The score for education is an 8. The population is young: the largest group (4,720 residents) is between 25 and 45 years old, and more than 6,000 households are single-person households. This gives the neighbourhood a dynamic, unbound atmosphere. If you are looking for a specific area within the district, Huygenspark is quieter and greener, while Rivierenbuurt-Noord has more of a residential neighbourhood feel. The southern Rivierenbuurt borders Zuiderpark and offers more space. To be fair: accessibility scores a 7, somewhat lower than you might expect, possibly due to the congestion and limited parking options around the stations. Cleanliness also gets a 7, as it is, after all, a station area with a lot of construction activity and traffic.

How is the accessibility from the Stationsbuurt?
The Stationsbuurt is located right next to Den Haag Centraal and Hollands Spoor. You can be in Rotterdam in eight minutes and at Schiphol within half an hour. Several tram and bus lines stop in the neighbourhood, and the A12 is reachable within five minutes. Parking is a point of attention due to limited space.
Over the years, this neighbourhood has improved in my opinion. Huygenspark was renovated not long ago and is a vibrant park for all ages. The Huygenspark neighbourhood is an extension of the notorious Schilderswijk district. But you don't notice any of that here; up to the level of Holland Spoor station, everything is perfectly fine. Accessibility is top-notch; you're quickly in the city centre, quickly at the train station, and quickly on the tram towards Scheveningen or other places in The Hague. Plenty of amenities; everything you need can be found in the neighbourhood.
