Living in Koningsplein e.o.
Koningsplein e.o. is city living in its most compact form, and this is apartment territory: only about 1 in 10 homes is a house.
With 18,292 residents per km², you will know your streets are alive — and so will your ears; visit on a Friday evening before you commit.
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 Koningsplein e.o.
At €403,000 average WOZ value, Koningsplein e.o. ranks 56 out of 110 Den Haag neighborhoods on price, almost exactly the city's midpoint. For scale: Den Haag's cheapest buurt averages €88,000 and its priciest €979,000, so Koningsplein e.o. sits in the middle of the pack.
Ownership is split: 39% owner-occupied against 61% rental, including 11% 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, Koningsplein e.o. is shaped by people in their late twenties to early forties (38% of its 7,610 residents), followed by 45-to-65 year olds at 24%. More than half of all households (55%) 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: this is a neighborhood of contrasts — 50% of households are among the country's lower earners, yet the average income per resident is €37,000 a year. Social housing and expensive owner-occupied homes stand side by side here, which is common in Dutch inner cities.
Daily errands, coffee and dinner
Day to day: groceries are a non-issue — 6 large supermarkets within a kilometer; eating out is the default here — around 63 cafés and restaurants inside a kilometer.
The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 7 min walk · GP 6 min · hospital 1.9 km · library 1.3 km · 6 cinemas within 5 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: 4 primary schools within a kilometer means real choice — and short bike rides; daycare is well covered (12 locations nearby) — though Dutch waiting lists mean you register the week you know you're expecting, not the week you need it; secondary school is a 3-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.
Getting around
Getting around: the nearest train station is 3.8 km out, so day-to-day life here leans on the car or bus; the nearest highway on-ramp is 4.8 km away; and at 0.5 cars per household, most residents simply don't own one — if you do, factor in permit costs and waiting lists before you buy.
Energy and running costs
100% of homes were built before 2000. Two identical-looking houses on the same street can differ by hundreds of euros a month once heating is counted — the energy label tells you which one you're looking at, and lenders increasingly price it into your mortgage too.

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.
