Homes for sale in Uilebomen, Den Haag

House prices and market figures Uilebomen, The Hague

The owner-occupied market in Uilebomen is relatively small but notably active. Only 21% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, while 78% is rented, a large part of which through housing associations. This limited supply of owner-occupied homes makes every available property sought after. The average WOZ value is €389,000, clearly higher than the district average of Centrum (€345,000) and also above The Hague average of €354,000. This difference is no coincidence: the neighbourhood attracts a relatively highly educated and higher-earning public, with an average income of €45,000 compared to €38,600 for the municipality as a whole.

Over the past twelve months, 18 owner-occupied homes have been sold in Uilebomen, at an average sale price of €546,222. The range runs from €245,000 to €715,000, indicating that both compact apartments and larger homes come onto the market. The average living area is 100 m², which works out to a price of approximately €5,460 per square metre. That is steep, but fits with the central location and the quality of the housing stock.

Living in Uilebomen, The Hague

Uilebomen lies in the heart of The Hague, as part of the district Centrum, yet feels somewhat quieter than you would expect from a neighbourhood so close to the city centre. The buildings largely consist of multi-family homes from the early and mid-twentieth century, with here and there porch flats and smaller ground-level homes. The streets are compact, the facades have character, and the neighbourhood has an urban density that suits The Hague without the bustle of Centrum itself.

In terms of amenities, Uilebomen is well provided. Within walking distance are supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo, and the shops and restaurants of the Grote Marktstraat and Spuikwartier are within a quarter of an hour by bike or even on foot. For daily errands, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Families with children will find several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including schools in nearby Kortenbos. Sports facilities are available through municipal accommodations in the city centre, and Zuiderpark is easily accessible by bike for those looking for some greenery.

Accessibility is one of Uilebomen's strongest assets. Den Haag Centraal station is within cycling distance, and from there you can quickly reach Rotterdam, Leiden or Amsterdam by train. Several tram lines, including lines 2, 6 and 17, cross the area and connect the neighbourhood with Scheveningen, Central Station and the districts towards Voorburg. For motorists, the connection to the A12 and A4 via the city ring is reasonably quick to reach, although parking in the neighbourhood is a point of attention: resident parking is the norm, and free parking spaces are scarce.

Residents particularly appreciate the central location and the lively environment. On the neighbourhood main page of Uilebomen you can read extensive reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "You live here right in the city but it is surprisingly quiet on the street, especially in the evenings. Everything is nearby, that is the big advantage." Less positive are residents about the parking pressure and the limited amount of public green space directly in the neighbourhood. Those looking for more space and greenery can also look at Voorhout or Zuidwal, two neighbouring communities within the same district with a slightly different character. Kortenbos offers similar urbanity but with a slightly different housing mix.

Who is a home for sale in Uilebomen interesting for?

Uilebomen mainly appeals to young professionals and couples who want to live centrally without having to pay the most expensive The Hague addresses. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years, and that is reflected in the neighbourhood atmosphere. First-time buyers buying an apartment in Uilebomen must take into account limited supply and steep prices: with an average of over €546,000, overbidding is not uncommon. Families looking for more space would do better to also look at homes for sale in Centrum more broadly, or at districts such as Benoordenhout. Those who do not necessarily want to buy can also check out the rental homes in Uilebomen, because the rental supply here is considerably larger than the owner-occupied supply.
