From spacious family homes to elegant inner-city apartments and contemporary residences, you’ll find all types of housing in The Hague. Learn about the options and start your search.

The Hague is a vibrant city where centuries-old architecture meets stylish, modern apartments. Depending on where you have lived previously, homes in the Netherlands might be somewhat different to what you are used to. There is a wide variety, with housing in the Netherlands varying from historic apartment buildings to mid-century detached houses to the latest in high-tech and sustainable construction. 

Dutch houses can sometimes be smaller than you might expect. After all, the Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, with more than 400 people per square kilometre. 

Whether you’re interested in short-stay accommodation, renting a house or apartment or looking to buy a property in The Hague, there are countless resources and organisations that can help. As with all popular European cities, housing is in high demand, and it can take a while to find a home that meets your exact requirements. There is more demand in August/September and January/February due to an influx of students and academic researchers, so take this into consideration during your house-hunting process.
