Kijkduin, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis semi-detached house on Westkapellelaan sits in Kijkduin, a coastal neighbourhood of The Hague where the dunes and beach are just a couple of streets away. With 204 m² of living space and a 657 m² plot, it offers plenty of room for a family. The rent of €4,750 is on the high side compared to other semi-detached houses in Den Haag, but the size and location by the sea are exceptional.
Kijkduin feels like a seaside village within the city. One resident describes it as "a special place on the coast of The Hague, with an atmosphere somewhere between quiet and lively." Another notes it's "expensive" but "very beautiful with little mischief." A third calls it a "cosy neighbourhood" that feels safe, with plenty of bins and little litter. The neighbourhood Kijkduin has a mix of ages, with many residents over 65, and a good number of single-person households. The beach and dunes are the main draw, giving the area a relaxed, holiday feel.
For your daily shopping, the Coop is just around the corner, and a Jumbo is a ten-minute walk away. There are several schools within walking distance, including primary and secondary options. The neighbourhood has a park or green space on your doorstep, perfect for a stroll. The municipality Den Haag provides all the city amenities, yet here you feel a world away from the hustle and bustle.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Expat Residence Real Estate, Funda, and Pararius.

Kijkduin is a special place on the coast of The Hague, with an atmosphere somewhere between quiet and lively. I remember a summer afternoon when I walked through the neighbourhood. It's an area that has the perfect balance between nature and the city. As soon as you walk into the dunes, you get the feeling that the hustle and bustle of the city is much further away. The beach in Kijkduin is wider than you might expect for a city beach, and the dunes are extensive and fairly quiet. There is always a spot where you can sit without it being too crowded. The sea, the sounds of the waves and the smell of salt water give the whole place a calming vibe. What I also like about Kijkduin is the combination of modern and traditional elements. The boulevard has a few trendy cafés and restaurants, but there are also old beach huts that exude the charm of days gone by. The contrast between the new and the old gives the neighbourhood a unique character. Besides the beach, Kijkduin also has a nice mix of green spaces and residential areas. You can enjoy walking or cycling, and everywhere there are small parks or open spaces that enhance the feeling of freedom. It's the place where you can sit in the evening and enjoy the sunset, accompanied by an ice cream or a drink. All in all, Kijkduin is a place you should visit not only for a holiday. It is a quiet but lively neighbourhood that has a lot to offer both locals and tourists. Whether you love the sea, nature, or just a relaxing day in a pleasant environment, Kijkduin has it all.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for a few years but there's nothing here, everything is expensive and the summers are busy, luckily it is very beautiful with little mischief.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood feels safe and as far as I know, no unsafe things happen. There are also plenty of rubbish bins and there is rarely litter on the streets. Many schools in the area. Both primary and secondary schools. Everything is within walking distance. Think of the beach, shops and of course the sports clubs.

About Westkapellelaan 29, 'S-Gravenhage
The rent is 31% above the neighbourhood average of €3,615, but the home is also 38% larger than the average rental in Kijkduin (204 m² vs 148 m²). Given the size, the seaside location, and the fact that it's a semi-detached house with a garden plot, the price reflects the premium for space and location.
The energy label is E. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. The house was built in 1966, so insulation may not be up to modern standards.
The beach in Kijkduin is just a couple of streets away, within a five-minute walk. The dunes are also very close, offering a quiet escape from the city.
There are several primary and secondary schools within walking distance. The closest primary school is about 1.2 km away, and secondary schools are similarly close. The neighbourhood is known for having good schools, as noted by residents.
