Living in Waldeck-Zuid, The Hague

Waldeck-Zuid is a quiet, largely residential neighbourhood in the west of The Hague, not far from the coast. The built environment consists mainly of porch flats and gallery flats from the 1950s and 1960s, interspersed with some low-rise buildings. The architecture is sober and functional, the streets are wide and green thanks to the presence of trees and parks. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its special appearance, but rather for the tranquillity that prevails. Many residents appreciate precisely that: the feeling that it is not busy here, while the city is still close by.

The neighbourhood has a clear profile: over a third of residents are 65 or older, and single-person households are the largest household group. This is reflected in the atmosphere. It is not a neighbourhood full of young families with children on the street, but rather an environment that is pleasantly quiet and where people know each other. The labour participation rate is 50%, which is partly related to the ageing population composition.

For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Supermarkets are within easy reach in the immediate vicinity, and the range of shops along the Laan van Meerdervoort and in nearby districts is varied. For a wider selection, the centre of The Hague is easily accessible. The neighbourhood borders Westbroekpark, one of the greener spots in this part of the city, which is an attractive walking destination for residents. Sports opportunities are available through clubs and facilities in the wider Waldeck district.

In terms of accessibility, Waldeck-Zuid scores reasonably well. Tram lines in the area connect the neighbourhood with the centre of The Hague and The Hague Central Station, a ride of about ten to fifteen minutes. Towards the coast and Kijkduin, it is a quarter of an hour by bike. By car, the A4 and A12 are accessible via city roads, although traffic can be heavy on the approach roads in western The Hague during rush hour. Parking is still possible without major problems on most streets, although this can vary per street.

Residents describe the neighbourhood as pleasant and quiet, with good social cohesion. One resident writes: "It is quiet and green here, you know your neighbours and there is little nuisance. Not exciting, but nice to live in." That sums up the character well. On the neighbourhood main page of Waldeck-Zuid you can read all resident reviews and see the neighbourhood scores per category.
