De Uithof, Den Haag

Living in De Uithof

De Uithof is urban but not overwhelming, and the stock is a genuine mix of apartments and family houses (45% houses).

With just 1,716 residents per km², this is space by Dutch standards.

Den Haag combines government and expat demand — ministries, embassies, international courts and Shell — with one of the widest price ranges of any Dutch city: stately streets near the dunes at one end, dense and affordable neighborhoods a couple of kilometers inland at the other.

The housing market in De Uithof

At €522,000 average WOZ value, De Uithof ranks 29 out of 110 Den Haag neighborhoods on price — 29% pricier than most of the city. That premium is the location speaking. For scale: Den Haag's cheapest buurt averages €88,000 and its priciest €979,000, so De Uithof sits in the middle of the pack.

The direction of the market: between 2015 and 2025 the average WOZ value here rose from €180,000 to €522,000, up 190% — faster than the city as a whole (+125%). WOZ values lag the market by about a year, but the trend itself is reliable.

Ownership is split: 43% owner-occupied against 57% rental, including 55% social housing. Enough homes trade hands to give you comparable sales, but check what's actually for sale versus rented in the specific block you're eyeing — the mix can flip from one street to the next.

Who lives here

Demographically, De Uithof is dominated by established households in the 45-to-65 bracket (26% of its 2,420 residents), followed by 25-to-45 year olds at 23%. More than half of all households (62%) are single-person — this is a neighborhood of independents, not minivans. The average household counts 1.8 people.

As for who your neighbors would be: incomes lean modest — 63% of households are among the country's lower earners.

Daily errands, coffee and dinner

Day to day: plan your groceries: the nearest large supermarket is 1.7 km away; dining out means a short trip: only 1 café or restaurant sit within a kilometer.

The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 20 min walk · GP 23 min · hospital 4.7 km · library 2.3 km. None of these will decide a purchase on their own, but a GP taking new patients nearby is the kind of thing you only miss after moving.

Families and schools

For families: the nearest primary school is 19 minutes on foot; daycare is 1.6 km away — check waiting lists early, they are long everywhere in the Netherlands; secondary school is an 8-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.

Getting around

Getting around: the nearest train station is 6.1 km out, so day-to-day life here leans on the car or bus; a highway on-ramp 0.6 km away makes car trips easy — check whether through-traffic noise reaches the street you're considering; car ownership is moderate (0.7 per household).

Before you bid in De Uithof

Before you bid in De Uithof: the national soil map leaves built-up areas unclassified, and city centres like this one often sit on peat, and pre-1970 homes may stand on wooden piles — since the 2026 appraisal rules, a foundation risk class (A–E) appears in every valuation, so check it before you bid, not after the deal is already emotional. Also, in a premium buurt the risk isn't buying a bad home, it's overpaying for a good one — anchor your bid on recent sales of comparable homes, not on the asking price.

None of these averages can tell you whether the specific house you found is fairly priced — that depends on its size, energy label, state of maintenance and the recent sales around it. That is exactly what a free HomeReview report checks, in about 10 seconds, for any Dutch address.
