Vruchtenbuurt: a quiet family neighbourhood with good connections
Living in Vruchtenbuurt feels different from many other neighbourhoods in The Hague. It is not a trendy city district, and that is exactly what many residents appreciate. Reviewer Noah aptly describes it as "a real family neighbourhood": there are several primary schools and playgrounds in the immediate vicinity, and the streetscape is dominated by families and long-term residents. The resident score on Buurtje.nl is 7.7 out of 10. Safety and accessibility score highest, both at 8.5. Beauty scores slightly lower (6.8), and Noah rightly points out a lack of rubbish bins and cars driving too fast in the streets. These are the honest caveats in an otherwise well-functioning neighbourhood. Read all reviews and neighbourhood data on the Vruchtenbuurt neighbourhood page.
In terms of amenities, Vruchtenbuurt is well-equipped. Along the Laan van Meerdervoort and the Vlierburgweg, you will find supermarkets, bakeries and small specialist shops within walking distance. For larger grocery shopping or retail, the centre of The Hague is quickly accessible. The neighbourhood itself has several playgrounds and green strips, although greenery scores a 7.2, slightly lower than the other categories. The nearby neighbourhood Eykenduinen offers additional green space with the park of the same name, which is within cycling distance. For sports, there are local clubs and the facilities of Zuiderpark are within reasonable reach.
Accessibility is one of the neighbourhood's strongest points. Several tram lines and bus connections provide a direct link to the centre of The Hague and Den Haag Centraal station. By car, the A4 and A12 are easily accessible via the Laan van Meerdervoort or the Neherkade. Cyclists have wide cycle paths towards the centre. Those considering buying in a similar but greener environment can also look at Westbroekpark en Duttendel or the more exclusive Benoordenhout. For a maritime atmosphere, Belgisch Park is an interesting alternative. More about the total housing supply in the city can be found on the page homes for sale in The Hague.
