Living in Transvaalkwartier-Midden, The Hague

Transvaalkwartier-Midden is an urban, densely populated neighbourhood in the east of The Hague, built in the early twentieth century. The streets are named after the Boer War in South Africa, which gave the neighbourhood its name. You can recognise the area by its characteristic pre-war porch flats and apartment buildings, with the occasional terraced house. The facades are brick, the streets narrow, the pavements busy. It is not a quiet residential area but a lively urban neighbourhood with a distinct character.

The neighbourhood attracts many young residents between the ages of 25 and 45, often singles or couples without children. This is reflected in the street scene: coffee shops, small supermarkets, and cyclists quickly making their way to the city centre. The Transvaalstraat and Hoefkade form the commercial arteries of the neighbourhood, with daily amenities such as an Albert Heijn, a Lidl, and various smaller shops and eateries. For families with children, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including schools on the edge of the neighbourhood towards Transvaalkwartier-Noord.

Accessibility is one of the neighbourhood's stronger points. Tram lines 6 and 17 run through or along the neighbourhood and take you to the centre of The Hague in a quarter of an hour. Den Haag Centraal station and Den Haag HS station are both within cycling distance. By car, the A12 and A13 are reachable within ten minutes via the Neherkade. Parking can be difficult in some places, especially in the narrow side streets.

Green space is limited. Zuiderpark is a short bike ride away and offers space for those who need fresh air and room. In the neighbourhood itself, there are smaller squares and playgrounds, but extensive parks are lacking. That is a point residents often mention. On the neighbourhood page of Transvaalkwartier-Midden you can read what residents themselves write about green space, safety, and atmosphere in the area.

Compared to Transvaalkwartier-Noord, the middle section is slightly busier and more urban in character. Transvaalkwartier-Zuid has a slightly quieter street profile.
