Blog home

Benoordenhout is one of the greenest and most exclusive residential districts in The Hague. The area breathes peace and space, with stately villas, broad avenues and extensive greenery within easy reach. We regularly guide buyers and sellers here and know its homes and price development in detail.

Character of the neighbourhood

Benoordenhout has a distinguished, residential character. It is a favourite among families, expats and those seeking peace, space and greenery without living far from the centre. The combination of stately buildings and the proximity of woodland and dunes makes Benoordenhout unique within The Hague.

Its international appeal is reinforced by the presence of several embassies and international schools in and around the neighbourhood.

Properties and architecture

The area was largely developed in the first half of the twentieth century and is characterised by spacious townhouses, detached villas and generous apartments, often in the 1930s style. Many homes have beautiful gardens and authentic details.

With this type of valuable property, expertise matters. Thanks to our building-surveying and notarial background, we carefully assess the maintenance condition, renovation potential and legal particulars, so you are never caught off guard.

Shops and amenities

The beating heart of the neighbourhood is Van Hoytemaplein, with a pleasant mix of specialty shops, a supermarket, restaurants and a weekly market. For everyday groceries and a good cup of coffee, you need not leave the area.

The city centre and the Bezuidenhout district are also close by, and the access roads get you out of the city quickly.

Sport and recreation

Benoordenhout borders some of the finest green areas in The Hague. The Clingendael estate with its famous Japanese garden, the Haagse Bos and the nearby dunes are ideal for walking, running and cycling. There are also several tennis and hockey clubs in the vicinity.
