Living in The Hague

The Hague, which is the seat of the Dutch parliament, government and Royal Court, offers excellent infrastructure, improved living and working conditions as well as an environment that fosters knowledge and research.



The highly-ranked universities of Leiden and Delft, numerous international organisations, the fast growing Europol and the (new location of) ICC, clearly underline The Hague’s international character and future potential.


As expected, the Netherlands‘ third largest city is an ideal location for the international community.

The Hague is divided into different districts and neighbourhoods with the most prosperous ones in the northwest.

The Hague neighbourhoods guide



The wider area of the Archipel, Statenkwartier and Duinoord neighbourhoods is full of apartments, mansions, embassies and luxury villas surrounded by shops, restaurants and cafes.


› Archipel (Centrum)

Great atmosphere and beautifully renovated old houses close to the city centre, museums and parks. As expected, apartment prices reflect the neighbourhood’s desirability and high demand, while parking options are quite limited.





› Statenkwartier (Scheveningen)

Popular destination with beautiful, spacious homes built in the early 1900s, Art Nouveau architecture, specialty shops and cafes.


 
› Duinoord (Scheveningen)
Bohemian atmosphere and charming but typically smaller (than those in the Statenkwartier neighbourhood) houses many of which date back to the late 19th century.
