The owner-occupied market in Transvaalkwartier-Noord is small but active. Of the approximately 1,780 homes in the neighbourhood, only 9% are owner-occupied, compared to 90% rental properties.

The WOZ value in Transvaalkwartier-Noord averages €221,000. This is noticeably lower than the district average for Transvaalkwartier (€259,000) and significantly lower than The Hague average of €354,000.

Living in Transvaalkwartier-Noord, The Hague
Transvaalkwartier-Noord is a densely populated, urban neighbourhood just behind the centre of The Hague, built up in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The streets feature typical The Hague brick architecture: narrow terraced houses, porch flats and upper-floor homes that connect to the Transvaalstraat, Pretoriusstraat and surrounding side streets. It is not a green or quiet residential neighbourhood. It is a neighbourhood where life happens on the street, where you know your neighbours and where the greengrocer, baker and supermarket are within walking distance.
The Transvaalstraat forms the commercial axis of the neighbourhood. You will find a varied range of shops, from Turkish and Moroccan speciality stores to supermarkets such as Dirk and Albert Heijn. For daily groceries, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. This also explains the remarkably high score for amenities: residents give this a 9.2 out of 10, by far the highest sub-score. Schools are within walking distance, including several primary schools in and around the district. The sub-score for education stands at 7.0.
Accessibility is a clear plus point. Tram and bus connections take you to the centre of The Hague and to The Hague Central Station in just a few minutes. Residents appreciate this: the accessibility score stands at 8.8. By bike, you are at Central Station within ten minutes. Motorists can quickly leave the city via the Neherkade and Binckhorstlaan towards the A12 or A13.
Resident Salima, who grew up in Transvaal, describes it like this: "A chill place where everything you need is there, besides being behind the centre of The Hague." At the same time, she adds a note in another review: "It is a busy neighbourhood where a lot happens, many shops are there, but actually not much to do." That tension between liveliness and a lack of recreational activities is recognisable for the neighbourhood. Green space scores the lowest with 7.0 after beauty (6.8). A park or spacious green strip is not immediately around the corner; those who want to relax outdoors cycle to Zuiderpark or the Haagse Bos.
Social cohesion is mentioned positively by several residents. Gwenny writes: "Good and we neighbours look out for each other." The safety score of 8.2 and community score of 8.2 confirm that picture. On the neighbourhood page of Transvaalkwartier-Noord you will find all resident reviews and neighbourhood data together.
Compared to Transvaalkwartier-Midden and Transvaalkwartier-Zuid, the northern part of the district is slightly more compact and has a slightly lower WOZ level. Those looking for more space or greenery could also consider districts such as Benoordenhout, although prices there are significantly higher.
Who is a home in Transvaalkwartier-Noord interesting for?
The neighbourhood mainly attracts young starters and dual-income earners between 25 and 45 years old, the largest age group with 1,310 residents. The relatively low average WOZ value and the entry price from €175,000 make buying in Transvaalkwartier-Noord accessible for starters who want to live in The Hague without being far from the centre. The limited ownership percentage of 9% does mean there is little supply: those who seriously want to buy must be able to act quickly. Be prepared for competition on attractively priced homes. Also take into account the urban character: those seeking peace and greenery would probably be better suited to another neighbourhood. If buying is not the right time now, check out the rental properties in Transvaalkwartier-Noord as a temporary alternative.
