Three Den Haag districts show the range of rental houses, from embassy villas by the woods to dune-side family streets and new-build terraces on the city's edge.

Benoordenhout, in the east of Den Haag, lies between the Haagse Bos woods and the Clingendael estate, a short ride from Den Haag Centraal, and many of its detached villas house embassies or ambassadors' residences. Locals plan spring walks around the Japanese Garden in Clingendael, which opens only a few weeks a year.

The Vogelwijk in western Den Haag, whose streets carry bird names, borders the Westduinpark dunes, and Kijkduin next to it has a beach that stays quieter than Scheveningen. The International School of The Hague is on the edge of Kijkduin, so families with children there can find a rental house within cycling distance of the school.

Ypenburg was built on a former airfield on the eastern edge of Den Haag, with terraced and semi-detached houses that are newer than in the older districts, private gardens and space to park. It borders Rijswijk, where houses in Rijswijk widen the search.

Rotterdam is about 18 minutes from Den Haag by public transport (23 km), so one parent can work at the Rotterdam port or in its offices while the family keeps a house near the Den Haag coast and schools.

Amsterdam is about 44 minutes away (63 km) and Utrecht about 34 minutes (61 km), both with direct intercity trains from Den Haag Centraal. Benoordenhout, a short ride from that station, suits a parent who commutes north or east.
