Nassaubuurt, Den Haag

Living in Nassaubuurt

Nassaubuurt is densely built and genuinely urban, and the stock is a genuine mix of apartments and family houses (45% houses).

At 5,825 residents per km² the buurt is busy without being packed.

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 Nassaubuurt

The average home value (WOZ) in Nassaubuurt is €782,000, which puts it at #7 of 110 neighborhoods in Den Haag — 111% above the city median. You pay for the location here. For scale: Den Haag's cheapest buurt averages €82,000 and its most expensive €919,000, so Nassaubuurt sits in the upper band of the city.

The direction of the market: between 2015 and 2025 the average WOZ value here rose from €450,000 to €812,000, up 80% — slower than the city as a whole (+125%). WOZ values lag the market by about a year, but the trend itself is reliable.

With 69% of homes owner-occupied, this is a settled buyers' neighborhood — homes change hands regularly, and you can usually find recent comparable sales on the same street to anchor your bid. Settled also means slower: owners here tend to stay, so the best houses may only list once a decade.

Who lives here

Demographically, Nassaubuurt is dominated by established households in the 45-to-65 bracket (29% of its 1,650 residents), followed by 25-to-45 year olds at 24%. Households split into 41% singles and 30% families with children — a real mix rather than one lifestyle. The average household counts 2.1 people.

As for who your neighbors would be: 46% of households sit in the country's top income bracket — which helps explain both the café density and the bidding behavior.

Daily errands, coffee and dinner

Day to day: the nearest large supermarket is about 6 minutes' walk; there are about 22 cafés and restaurants within walking distance — enough choice without the crowds.

The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 11 min walk · GP 6 min · hospital 2.0 km · library 1.7 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: the nearest primary school is 7 minutes on foot; daycare is well covered (6 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 2-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.

Getting around

Getting around: the station is a 6-minute cycle, standard Dutch commuting range; the nearest highway on-ramp is 2.5 km away; car ownership is moderate (0.9 per household).

Energy and running costs

99% 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.

Before you bid in Nassaubuurt

Before you bid in Nassaubuurt: much of Den Haag sits on soft soil, 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.
