Living in Wateringse Veld: multicultural family life on the edge of the city
Wateringse Veld was built from the late 1990s onwards, and you can tell: wide streets, relatively new homes, and plenty of green spaces between the neighbourhoods. The district has nearly 24,000 residents, and the largest group of households are families with children (4,545 households). That is no coincidence. There are several primary schools in the area, including De Vliegende Hollander and basisschool Het Zand, and residents rate education an 8.1 on the Wateringse Veld neighbourhood page. Amenities also score an 8.1. Shopping centre Wateringse Veld on Laan van Wateringse Veld offers an Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Kruidvat, and various specialist shops. You hardly need to leave the neighbourhood for daily errands.
Residents appreciate the green character (7.7) and safety (7.7), although long-term resident Aro Aziz adds a note of caution: "In recent years, incidents involving firearms have become more frequent. This makes it feel less safe, especially in the evenings." At the same time, he emphasises that he has lived there happily for over 8 years and has never had bad neighbours. Queenie, who has lived there for 17 years, calls it "a nice little neighbourhood, lots of playgrounds, shops nearby, quite cosy." The average resident rating comes out at 7.4. Honestly, accessibility is the weakest point with a 6.0. There is no tram stop in the neighbourhood itself. You rely on bus lines (including lines 23 and 24 towards Hollands Spoor station) or the car via Laan van Wateringse Veld to the A4. By bike, you can reach The Hague Central in a quarter of an hour, but for those who commute daily by public transport, that is something to factor in.
In terms of atmosphere, Wateringse Veld is multicultural and down-to-earth. It is not a trendy neighbourhood with terraces and concept stores, but a place where you see neighbourhood children playing on the street and where sports clubs (such as football club Wateringse Veld and the tennis park on Hengelolaan) are thriving. The sub-areas each have their own character. In Hoge Veld you will find the more expensive, spacious homes, while Erasmus Veld offers more variety in housing types. The Erasmusveld area on the north side is also being further developed with sustainable new builds. You can check the latest status of those plans via the municipality of The Hague website.

I've lived here for over 8 years and have had virtually no bad experiences, never had bad neighbours and always enjoyed living here. The only remark is that in recent years incidents involving guns have become more frequent. This makes it less safe, especially in the evenings. A big plus is the variety of cultures, where no one is discriminated against. Children attended the primary school called Fontein where they had a lot of fun, and in the shopping centre there is plenty of choice, not just 2 supermarkets, but also a hairdresser, a chemist, a bakery and a toy shop. All in all, a top neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AII like most people here and everything is close by, which is very nice, but still some stranger things happen at Hoge Veld and Lage Veld, and because of this I feel unsafe. It's about the murder at Hoge Veld and the shooting at Lage Veld. Apart from these 2 experiences, everything is fine!
Auto-translated to English by AIThe street where I live is quite quiet, but I have once seen a fight a few streets away. And I sometimes hear about fights or shootings. But otherwise it's a really nice neighbourhood!
