Living in Waldeck: quiet, clean and everything within walking distance

Waldeck is a neighbourhood you don't hear much about, and that is actually exactly what residents appreciate about it. On Buurtje.nl, the neighbourhood scores an 8.0 from residents, with notably high scores for safety (9.0) and green spaces (8.0). One resident sums it up succinctly: "Quiet, clean, no nuisance." Another writes: "A quiet neighbourhood, supermarket and small shops." That's right. Waldeck is not a trendy neighbourhood with artisanal coffee bars, but an area where you can simply walk around quietly in the evening and where daily groceries are within easy reach. Along the Fahrenheitstraat and in the shopping centre on the Goudsbloemlaan, you will find supermarkets, a bakery, a hairdresser and various small specialist shops. For more extensive shopping, you go to the Kijkduin shopping centre or the centre of The Hague.

The neighbourhood consists of several districts, each with its own character. Waldeck-Zuid and Waldeck-Noord have many post-war porch flats, while in Nieuw Waldeck you also find newer single-family homes. The Componistenbuurt is somewhat smaller in scale and has a village feel. For families, there are primary schools such as De Kleine Wereld and De Vliegende Hollander, and sports club SVC'08 offers football for young and old. The Westduinpark and the Bosjes van Poot are within cycling distance and offer real nature, not just a park with a bench.

In terms of accessibility, Waldeck scores an 8.0 from residents. Tram lines 3 and 4 run via the Loosduinseweg towards the centre and The Hague Central Station, which you reach in about twenty minutes. By car, you are quickly on the Lozerlaan towards the A4 or the Hubertustunnel towards the coast and Scheveningen. The beach at Kijkduin is, by the way, just a few minutes' cycle away. That is an advantage you don't have in many The Hague neighbourhoods. Read more about the atmosphere and view all reviews on the neighbourhood page of Waldeck.

Does Waldeck suit you as a buyer?

With an average purchase price of €353,634 and apartments from about €225,000, buying an apartment in Waldeck is achievable for starters who want to live in The Hague without paying top prices. The neighbourhood also attracts many seniors: the largest age group is 65-plus, and the amenities within walking distance make that logical.

Keep in mind additional costs such as transfer tax (2%), notary and valuation costs. And be realistic: with popular homes, bidding above the asking price is common.
