Living in Waalsdorp, The Hague
Waalsdorp is nestled between the dunes and the greenery of the Haagse Bos, and you notice that as soon as you drive through it. The neighbourhood has a quiet, almost villa-like character with wide avenues, plenty of greenery between the houses and a remarkably low traffic volume for a city like The Hague. The buildings largely date from the 1920s to the 1950s: detached and semi-detached houses with large gardens, interspersed with a few streets of more compact single-family homes. New construction is rare here, so the neighbourhood retains its historic appearance.
In terms of amenities, Waalsdorp itself is limited, but that need not be a problem. The Fahrenheitstraat and Laan van Meerdervoort are within cycling distance for daily shopping. Residents themselves cite the presence of a playground in the neighbourhood and several schools as major plus points, making the neighbourhood attractive for families with children. The resident score for education is therefore remarkably high: a perfect 10 out of 10. Resident Sam Beekland writes: "It is a very nice neighbourhood with friendly people and almost always clean and hygienic. A very nice place to live, also with children, because there is a playground nearby and also many schools." That combination of tranquillity, greenery and family infrastructure typifies Waalsdorp well.
Accessibility is solid without being spectacular. Tram and bus connections take you to the centre of The Hague within twenty minutes, and The Hague Central Station can be reached by bicycle in about twenty minutes. By car, the A12 and A4 are relatively quickly accessible via the arterial roads towards the centre. Residents give accessibility an 8.0, indicating that it is good enough, but that you are dependent on the bicycle or car for most daily destinations.
Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Duinzigt and Arendsdorp, Waalsdorp has a slightly more exclusive character due to its location directly on the dune edge. The Nassaubuurt, on the other hand, offers more urban dynamism and a wider range of amenities. Waalsdorp scores highest of all categories with a 9.0 for greenery, which reflects the dune location and surrounding greenery well.

Is a home for sale in Waalsdorp right for you?
Waalsdorp mainly attracts families and established dual-income earners: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years, 41% of residents are married and families with children are the most common household type. With an average income of €74,100 and a high education level (73%), this is a neighbourhood for buyers with financial means.

If you want to be more flexible, you can also look at rental homes in Waalsdorp as an intermediate step. If you are looking for similar living but with a bit more supply, then Van Hoytemastraat and surroundings or Uilennest are worth exploring.
