Statenkwartier to Scheveningen: where expats rent flats
Many of Den Haag's international renters look in the northwest of the city, between the international organizations around the World Forum and the North Sea beach at Scheveningen. Across Den Haag, 43% of apartment listings mention a balcony and 14% a garden.
Statenkwartier, around de Fred and the World Forum
Statenkwartier is the early 20th-century district between the World Forum and the Scheveningen dunes, within cycling distance of Europol, the OPCW and the Peace Palace. Its brick town houses are often split into upper and lower flats, and locals call its shopping street, the Frederik Hendriklaan, simply de Fred. Ask which half you are renting: the lower flat usually comes with the garden, the upper one with the steep stairs.
Scheveningen: seafront flats by the Boulevard
Scheveningen is Den Haag's seaside district, with the Kurhaus, the pier and a boulevard of apartment blocks facing the North Sea. 3% of apartment listings in Den Haag say pets are allowed (most do not say), so start with pet-friendly apartments in Den Haag and have the permission written into the lease.
Wijnhaven and Hollands Spoor: the student side
Den Haag's students gather around the two main stations: Leiden University's Campus The Hague has its Wijnhaven building near Den Haag Centraal, and The Hague University of Applied Sciences is a short walk from Den Haag HS. With 5% of apartment listings aimed at students, students on a tight budget usually compare rooms in Den Haag instead.
