Estate Agent in the Statenkwartier, The Hague

The Statenkwartier lies a stone’s throw from our office and ranks among the most sought-after neighbourhoods in The Hague. It combines stately allure with a lively character and sits right between the city centre and the coast.

Character of the neighbourhood

The Statenkwartier is a stately, international neighbourhood designed from 1899 onwards according to the plan of Adriaan Goekoop. Broad avenues and distinctive diagonal streets give the area a deliberately impressive feel. You live here amid peace and greenery, while the beach and harbour of Scheveningen are just a few minutes by bike.

That combination of location and grandeur appeals to families moving up the property ladder as well as to internationals, giving the neighbourhood a pleasantly mixed, cosmopolitan atmosphere.

Properties and architecture

The Statenkwartier is a haven for lovers of Art Nouveau and neoclassical architecture. Many buildings feature turrets, stucco cornices, bay windows and original parquet floors. You will find large townhouses, elegant city villas and spacious upper and ground-floor apartments, mainly in the mid to higher price segment.

With these valuable, often monumental homes, expertise matters. Thanks to our building-surveying and notarial background, we carefully assess the maintenance condition, renovation potential and legal details, so you are never caught off guard.

Shops and amenities

The beating heart of the neighbourhood is ‘de Fred’, the Frederik Hendriklaan, with independent shops, specialty stores and restaurants. Around Frederik Hendrikplein you will also find a lively weekly market.

The Statenkwartier is rich in culture too: the Kunstmuseum, the Fotomuseum and the Omniversum are all within walking distance.

Sport and recreation

The spacious layout of the neighbourhood invites walking and cycling. For sports enthusiasts there are tennis and hockey clubs nearby, while the dunes and beach of Scheveningen are close at hand for a bracing seaside walk or run.

Why live in the Statenkwartier?

The Statenkwartier offers grandeur, convenience and the coast within reach. Its stylish architecture, the lively Frederik Hendriklaan and the proximity of the sea make it one of the most sought-after addresses in The Hague. We regularly guide buyers and sellers here and know the area’s price development in detail.
