Living in Zijden Steden en Zichten, The Hague
Zijden Steden en Zichten is a post-war expansion neighbourhood in the southwest of The Hague, part of the Bouwlust district. The street names refer to historical polder areas and give the neighbourhood a unique identity that you won't find anywhere else in the city. It is a neighbourhood that does not stand out for its architectural features, but which residents appreciate for its tranquillity, space and location close to the dunes and the beach. Those who live here have the Lozerlaan and Ockenburg within cycling distance, and via the polder the beach at Kijkduin is easily accessible. One resident aptly describes it: "But I enjoy walking in the polder via Lozerlaan and Ockenburg to the beach" and calls the area "large enough for walking and cycling recreation close to the dunes and beach."
The neighbourhood has a distinctly multicultural character. A large proportion of residents have a non-Western background, and this colours the street scene, the shops and daily interactions with neighbours. This sometimes leads to minor friction, but also to encounters. The same resident writes: "It's fine, plenty of multiculturalism, enough green, large area for walking and cycling." The atmosphere is generally quiet, especially during the day. Children play outside, but nuisance remains limited according to several reviewers.
For daily groceries, you can go to the supermarkets in the immediate vicinity, including an Albert Heijn and a Lidl on or near the Lozerlaan. The Leyweg shopping centre, a short bike ride away, offers a wider range of shops, a market and eateries. For schools, there are several primary schools in the neighbourhood, although education scores slightly lower in resident reviews at 6.8 compared to other categories. Accessibility by public transport is good: several bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the centre of The Hague and surrounding municipalities, and the scores for accessibility are the highest of all sub-scores at 8.1. By car, the A4 and A12 are quickly reachable via the Lozerlaan.
The neighbourhood scores a 7.1 based on resident reviews. Safety (8.0) and accessibility (8.1) are the strongest points. Beauty (6.1) and housing (6.4) score lower, which fits with the ageing flat construction and the relatively high rental pressure in the district.

Auto-translated to English by AINeighbours you hardly ever see or suddenly miss. You wonder where they've gone, sometimes due to death when you see someone else with the little dog, but I also chat with complete strangers, wish them good day and good morning, sometimes get a reply but often not, that's fine too, but that's how I was brought up at home and by my dear grandparents on my father's side, grandparents ma fam Brenkman. Only v from photo Grandpa with helmet with point German! I find it a nice neighbourhood, nice shopping centre and shopping centre Leyweg, hospital Leyenburg in the neighbourhood and Westeinde and with a transfer Rode Kruis, so plenty of choice and known or notorious in all three, ha ha!
Auto-translated to English by AIYou see people coming and going, many fellow countrymen, many children of fellow countrymen, occasionally mess in the garden or football in the garden, if they ask nicely I'll give it back, so it's give and take. Only not nice that they throw stones at the windows, I speak to them about it but it goes in one ear and out the other, they are double glazed but still can break. And I'm happy with a small garden, the back is larger, we have fruit trees, I give away fruit, it's edible, think yes, unsprayed, what more could you want! Bus and tram within walking distance, Made Polder, you walk through the parks to Kijkduin, return also on foot as long as it's possible, with sons who still like to take their mother out, and a nice shopping centre, and close to shopping centre Leyweg, walking or by bus, hospital, GP out-of-hours centre, physio, schools in the neighbourhood, although my children are young adults! I want to live here for a good while longer and hope rents don't rise too much! Oh yes, also with our neighbours of Turkish or Moroccan and other backgrounds, nice contact, I am a mixed mum, Dutch mother, German father, regards Mrs Bourquin.
Auto-translated to English by AIIs fine Multicultie enough green, large area for walking and cycling recreation close to dunes and beach and close to the neighbourhood municipalities, walkable as long as it lasts, good public transport connections to visit offspring sometimes some irritation when next to the bins for waste disposal, there is waste next to and on it rubbish lies, then so sweetly the street sweepers will come anyway mum? Mm honestly son see no one sweeping the pavements or streets like before!
Auto-translated to English by AIVery good accessibility, bus and tram to the city and plenty of parking spaces. Due to the multicultural society, as a Dutch person you no longer recognise your own country, which is a shame. I would like it if there were also a Dutch cheese shop and butcher, and not just Turkish or Moroccan ones.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur neighbourhood is super fun and cosy, sometimes a bit less cosy due to the increase in beggars who come there, but otherwise everything is accessible and super nice.
