Living in Transvaalkwartier-Zuid, The Hague

Transvaalkwartier-Zuid is a true working-class neighbourhood, and you feel it immediately when you walk through the streets. The buildings largely date from the 1910s and 1920s: terraced houses of red brick, narrow pavements, and a streetscape that is not polished but authentic. It is not a neighbourhood that sells itself with shiny facades, but for residents who love a lively, mixed environment, that is precisely its appeal.

The largest age group is 25 to 45 years, and you notice that in the atmosphere: it is a neighbourhood of working people, young families and starters who consciously choose an affordable place close to the centre of The Hague. Single-person households are the largest household type at 1,495, which fits the urban character. Only 28% of residents are married, giving the neighbourhood a looser, more individual character than classic family districts.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is well provided. Within walking distance there are several supermarkets, including branches on Hobbemastraat and in the immediate vicinity. Transvaalstraat functions as a local shopping street with small shops, hairdressers and eateries. For larger shopping facilities, the centre of The Hague is quickly accessible. There are primary schools in the neighbourhood, and residents give education a score of 8.0. Zuiderpark is within cycling distance and offers space for sports and recreation, although green space in the neighbourhood itself scores a 7.0, indicating that there is little greenery within the neighbourhood boundaries.

Accessibility is one of the strongest points: residents give this a 9.3. Tram lines and bus connections link the neighbourhood quickly to The Hague Central Station and the centre. By bike you are at Central Station in a quarter of an hour. For motorists, the connection to the The Hague ring road is good, although parking is a recurring point of criticism. Resident H. Schipper writes: "The people are to themselves, little to no nuisance, only parking is minimal." That is an honest picture: the neighbourhood functions well, but having your own parking space is not a given here.

Compared to Transvaalkwartier-Noord and Transvaalkwartier-Midden, the southern part of the district has a slightly quieter character, although it remains unmistakably the same working-class neighbourhood.

Who is a home for sale in Transvaalkwartier-Zuid interesting for?

Transvaalkwartier-Zuid mainly appeals to starters and young dual-income couples who want to buy an apartment in Transvaalkwartier-Zuid without having to pay the prices of popular The Hague districts such as Benoordenhout or Belgisch Park. With homes from €200,000, there is an entry level that is becoming increasingly rare in The Hague. Movers with a larger budget can also find larger homes here, albeit less frequently. Disadvantages to consider: parking is limited, the neighbourhood scores lower on beauty (5.7) and the streetscape is messy in places. Those who prefer to rent can also look at the rental homes in Transvaalkwartier-Zuid as an alternative or stepping stone.

What residents say about Transvaalkwartier-Zuid

Residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 7.6 out of 10. The highest subscores are for accessibility (9.3) and safety (9.0), which is remarkably positive for an urban working-class neighbourhood. Less strong are beauty (5.7) and housing (6.3). Resident Najat Akhlal writes: "Transvaal is a working-class neighbourhood, where it can be very cosy, but also very busy. Often arguments due to Eastern Europeans and a lot of mess on the street and around the container." She adds that the municipality works hard to keep the neighbourhood clean. That is an honest picture of a neighbourhood in transition. Read all reviews on the overview page of Transvaalkwartier-Zuid.
