Top 3 classic neighbourhoods in The Hague

Having a dream about living in one of the neighbourhoods that adopted its classical style from the late 19th century? Then we advise you to consider one of these three neighbourhoods.

Archipel en Willemspark

The Archipel neighbourhood is a very popular district that was built at the end of the 19th century. At the time, the neo-renaissance style was adopted into many homes and is still present now in their interior.

Even though many of the streets are very narrow, the houses are very spacious and comfortable to live in. The composition of the district has a lot to offer, it provides villa’s, mansions, apartments, alms-houses and single-family homes.

For those who prefer to be outdoors a lot, there is the Scheveningsebosjes. As well as easy access to this small reserve of nature, you are also within cycling distance from the beach. Finally, the district offers great accessibility to public transport by which it is very easy to travel throughout The Hague.

Zeeheldenkwartier

The Zeeheldenkwartier, also known as the Zeehelden district, is a neighbourhood that was built at the end of the 19th century. The original purpose of this district was to provide homes for the wealthy inhabitants. However, smaller homes have been added later on. One may also find mansions, separate upstairs apartments and downstairs apartments as well as alms-houses in this district.

In case you are a food lover, there are tons of markets present in this neighbourhood. Additionally, the district also organises a lot of events and they even have their own festival called the Zeeheldenfestival. The most common inhabitants would be young adults and expats. This has led to the shaping of a hip and young district which is located near the centre of The Hague and public transport. Altogether, it can be said that it is a very loved district with a  large offer of activities to make sure you will not get bored.

Statenkwartier

Just like the Archipeldistrict and the Zeeheldenkwartier,  the Statenkwartier also dates from the late 19th century. One of the characteristics of this neighbourhood is that it contains a lot of genteel residences. Beside the noble residences, the possibility of using public transport is given due to its locality. For those who love to go to the beach or go for a walk, its locality is also very beneficial because it is near dunes and the beach.

A certain sum of the inhabitants of the Statenkwartier are expats who work at international companies nearby. Concerning activities, there is much more to offer than one would find elsewhere, there are cafes, museums and all sorts of shops all reachable not far from your own home.
