Statenkwartier & Geuzenkwartier

These are affluent families or couples who consciously choose this neighborhood's character. The average municipal valuation (WOZ) in this neighborhood is €598,000 (2024), showing this group is high-net-worth.

What draws them here is the combination of stately Art Nouveau architecture from 1890-1915 and high-quality amenities. Frederik Hendriklaan has undergone a revival in recent years with new restaurants and shops—for this group, that refinement matters. What these buyers also value: restaurants like Vigo Seafoodbar (Aert van der Goesstraat 21-23) for exclusive dinner dishes and Hudson for casual luxury lunches. This conscious life choice is also reflected in Westduinpark (34 hectares) 10 minutes cycling away for tennis courts and running routes. For families with children, Basisschool Statenkwartier (Van Beverningkstraat 29) plays a role with 316 students and good inspectorate ratings. The National Heritage Site status since 1996 ensures the authentic architecture is preserved.

They seek townhouses of 130-180 m² with original Art Nouveau details like white ornaments, high ceilings, bay windows, and sliding doors from the 1890-1915 building period. Properties with preserved elements are preferred. Space for a backyard, 3-4 bedrooms, and workspace are standard. They take time for their decision, multiple viewings are normal.

What you should do: Explicitly emphasize original features like Art Nouveau ornaments and facade details. If you've renovated, show what you've preserved versus modernized. Have inspection reports (structural, if available) ready including foundation research where relevant.

Your property

Apartment 80-130 m² recently renovated and in good condition? Then international professionals are a prime target—they seek turnkey, preferably within walking distance of tram to Europol. A townhouse 130-180 m² with original Art Nouveau details and renovation potential? Then high-net-worth Dutch families who see character and want to refine themselves are looking. A split townhouse with upper and lower units? Then investors interested in combining yield and heritage value in a protected neighborhood are your market.

These are expats who have lived in the Netherlands for several years, initially rented, and now buy because they're staying longer. Our experience shows approximately half of buyers here have an international background.

What draws them here is the complete international living environment within walking distance. The International School of The Hague with English IB education for 1,400 students plays a major role. For expats working at Europol (International Zone near World Forum), the neighborhood is within 15 minutes by tram. What these buyers also value is Deutsche Schule Den Haag (Groot Hertoginnelaan 18-20) within walking distance. This international living environment is also reflected in daily amenities: Frederik Hendriklaan offers exactly that mix this group seeks. For these buyers, hospitality also matters: restaurants like Hudson (Aert van der Goesstraat 21-23) and Vigo Seafoodbar (Aert van der Goesstraat 21-23) offer that international feel. Westduinpark for walking and sports within walking distance is regularly mentioned.

They seek apartments between 80-130 m² or townhouses from 150 m² that are well-maintained and immediately livable, without major work. Speed matters—everything must be arranged within 6-8 weeks because current rental contracts are expiring. Bilingual documentation for HOA documents and technical reports is appreciated.

What you should do: Explicitly mention energy label and heating type. Ensure HOA documents are also available in English, including long-term maintenance plan. Have inspection reports (if available) ready with English summaries. April-August are busy buying months for all families with children.
