Den Haag is the third most populated city in the Netherlands, the capital of South Holland, the seat of government, the home of the Dutch royal family. Here's our guide for those moving to Den Haag.
It is also and an outpost for most of the world’s human rights organisations including the International Court of Justice. Many embassies are based here and with numerous international schools, it’s a comfortable place for relocation. The city has its own hospitality centre for expat residents and information on the city website (www.thehague.com) is available in eight languages. Its offi cial name is ‘s-Gravenhage (literally, the count’s hedge) dating back to the 13th century and the Count of Holland’s hunting lodge which was based in a village called Die Hague. History, ritual and tradition play their part in this city, with terrifi c museums and cultural events. Smart areas nearby like Rijswijk and Voorburg have a sprinkling of Michelin-starred restaurants, though Den Haag itself is most famous for Indonesian cuisine. The gated villas of Wassenaar house diplomats and upmarket expats, as well as members of the House of Orange. This district is known by some as the Beverly Hills of the Netherlands, and it remains a favourite among up-market expats with children and a large budget for housing.
Scheveningen
If you want something less genteel, head for the seaside town of Scheveningen with its casino and long, sandy beach.
Archipelbuurt/ Willemspark
A city centre area of beautiful 19th century houses and apartments full of character. Broad streets and big town houses and villas. This is embassy land and a top location where prices are premium and parking places problematic.
Statenquartier/ Duinoord
A similar feel to Archipel, with charming, spacious, elegant homes. A solid investment
all-round.
Benoordenhout
A green, quiet location but still close to motorway and other transport links with woodlands to the north and east that make it a good option for young families with children.. Lots of 1930s style accommodation and space for cars. Also in this category and area is Mariahoeve, which boasts similar amenities.

Has the writer of this article ever been to Mariehoeve? There is no way you can liken it to Benoordenhout.
Benoordenhout is nice but somewhat geriatric.
Mariahoeve's only attraction is it's more or less on the rail line.
Voorburg is nice.
Wassenaar is sterile and requires two cars for a couple - no transit.
And how about the "comments" that are really just adverisements?
What's up with that?
What a worthless, mostly content-free page.
