Housing shortage

The rental property market in The Hague is very similar to Amsterdam's in the sense that there are more people searching for a place to rent than there are actual places available.

The waiting list for social housing has risen to almost 7 years, while rental housing in the free sector is unaffordable for many people.

The Hague is fully engaged in building new apartments and making affordable housing available; for example, 4000 homes are added every year. In addition, the municipality has imposed all kinds of restrictions to ensure that more homes remain on the market (such as limiting Airbnbs).

What options are there to rent in The Hague?

If your annual income falls below the maximum limit, you are eligible for social housing. The problem, however, is that you have to sign up years in advance and get on the waiting list. If you didn't do this or if you earn too much, you should look for a studio in The Hague in the free sector.

This means that a housing agency or private individual rents out a studio and that you will have to meet certain conditions to be allowed to rent the studio. You can assume that the rental price of the studio in The Hague will be higher than €763.47.

If you earn less than €60,036 per year as a single person, you can rent a medium-priced private home in The Hague. These homes cost between €752 and €988 per month. You need to get a permit from the municipality for this!

If you earn more than that, you will also pay more for your studio or apartment in The Hague.

Renting a studio in The Haque Centre

If you are in the city centre, there's always something to do.

And if you need some time to relax and recharge, don't worry--there are plenty of options for that too. There are numerous public courtyards that provide a green space in the middle of the city (perfect for picnics!), but Paleistuin or Haagse Bos are great choices if you're looking to get closer to nature.
