Living in Visserijbuurt, The Hague

Visserijbuurt is situated between the harbour of Scheveningen and the quieter residential areas inland. It is not a tourist neighbourhood, but a genuine residential area with its own character: somewhat down-to-earth, functional, and with a mix of residents who have lived here for years alongside newcomers who appreciate the proximity to the sea and harbour. The atmosphere is urban without the hustle and bustle of the beach area, and that appeals to a specific type of resident.

The housing stock largely consists of porch flats and gallery flats from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a number of terraced houses. Some newer apartments have also been added, but the majority of the streetscape is recognisably post-war. Streets such as Visserijkade and the area around the harbour give the neighbourhood its name and identity. The buildings are compact, the streets are narrow, and green space is scarce, which is also reflected in the residents' score for green space (5.0 out of 10).

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores well: residents give accessibility an 8.0 and amenities also an 8.0. There are supermarkets within walking distance, and the shopping options at Badhuiskade and in the immediate vicinity cover daily groceries. For more extensive shopping, the centre of Scheveningen or The Hague city centre is quickly accessible. Schools are present in the neighbourhood, although residents rate education at 4.0, suggesting that the provision is perceived as limited or mediocre. Parents with children would be wise to investigate this thoroughly in advance via the municipality of The Hague.

Accessibility is one of the stronger points. With the tram (lines 1 and 9) you can reach the centre of The Hague in about twenty minutes. Bus connections to Scheveningen Beach are frequent, and by bike the neighbourhood is well connected to the rest of the city. Car drivers benefit from the proximity of the coastal road and connections towards the A4 and A12. Parking can be a challenge during peak times.

Residents rate Visserijbuurt an average of 6.5 out of 10, based on available reviews. Safety (7.0) and sense of community (7.0) are perceived as reasonably positive. One resident writes: "The neighbourhood is quiet enough to live comfortably, but lacks some liveliness and green space." That is, frankly, a fitting summary. Read all reviews and neighbourhood data on the Visserijbuurt information page.

Those who compare Visserijbuurt with neighbourhoods such as Oud Scheveningen or Scheveningen Badplaats will notice that Visserijbuurt is more down-to-earth and cheaper, but also less green and picturesque. Vissershaven borders the neighbourhood and has a similar character, albeit with slightly more emphasis on the harbour area. For those seeking more space and greenery, a look at Rijslag is worthwhile.

Is a home for sale in Visserijbuurt right for you?

Visserijbuurt mainly attracts young dual-income couples and singles aged 25 to 45, the largest age group in the neighbourhood. The relatively high entry price (the cheapest sold home was €295,000) makes the neighbourhood less accessible for first-time buyers with a limited budget. Those who want to buy an apartment in Visserijbuurt would do well to take into account the wide price range and the limited number of transactions per year: with 26 sales in twelve months, the supply is not abundant. Overbidding is not uncommon in this segment of the The Hague market. Seniors looking to downsize can find a place here, but must weigh the limited green spaces. Those unsure whether buying is the right move now can also look at rental properties in Visserijbuurt as a temporary alternative.
