Living in Vlietzoom-Oost, The Hague
Vlietzoom-Oost is not your typical The Hague neighbourhood. With around 100 residents and 33 homes, it is more of a hamlet than a district, located in the greener southwest of The Hague, directly bordering the Vliet. The name is no coincidence referring to the water: the area is characterised by its proximity to the Vliet and the Forepark recreation area, giving the neighbourhood a remarkably quiet and almost rural character for a municipality like The Hague.
The homes in Vlietzoom-Oost are predominantly compact in size, which is also evident from the sales data: an average of 23 m² for recently sold properties. This could indicate holiday homes, tiny houses, or specific types of housing permitted in this green area. This is emphatically not a neighbourhood for those looking for a classic family home with a garden on a street with neighbours. The development is sparse, and the atmosphere is green and quiet.
Facilities in the immediate vicinity of Vlietzoom-Oost are limited. For daily groceries, schools, and healthcare, you rely on neighbouring areas and centres such as Leidschendam or districts towards Ypenburg. The Leidsenhage shopping centre (now The Mall of the Netherlands) is a few kilometres away and easily accessible by car. There are no schools or supermarkets within walking distance in the neighbourhood itself.
In terms of accessibility, the location on the edge of The Hague is relevant to know. The A4 and A12 motorways are quickly reachable via local roads, making the neighbourhood attractive for commuters who use the car. Public transport is more limited; the nearest bus stops are some walking distance away, and for train connections you rely on Leidschendam-Voorburg station or The Hague Laan van NOI. Cycling to The Hague city centre takes around 30 to 40 minutes.
The population composition is striking: 40% of residents are aged 65 or older, and 45% are married. The proportion of young people and families with children is small. This fits the character of a quiet, green neighbourhood where people consciously choose peace and surroundings, not liveliness. For more impressions and experiences of people living here, you can visit the neighbourhood page of Vlietzoom-Oost with resident reviews and neighbourhood scores. Residents appreciate the peace and green surroundings, although the limited range of facilities is sometimes mentioned as a drawback: "You live here beautifully quietly, but for everything you need to take the car." For comparison, the neighbourhood De Rivieren in the same district offers a different housing mix with more urban facilities nearby.
Who is a home in Vlietzoom-Oost interesting for?
Vlietzoom-Oost is a niche. The neighbourhood attracts people who consciously choose peace, greenery, and an unconventional housing type, and is less suitable for first-time buyers looking for a regular owner-occupied home or families wanting schools and playgrounds within walking distance. The high WOZ value and specific housing types make this not a starter neighbourhood. Seniors seeking peace near nature fit better here, as do people considering a holiday home or compact property as a primary or secondary residence. Supply is scarce: only 6 homes were sold in the past year. If you are serious about buying, it is wise to act quickly when something becomes available. If renting suits you better, check out the rental properties in Vlietzoom-Oost, although that supply is also very limited.
What residents say about Vlietzoom-Oost
