The character of the Belgisch Park

The Belgisch Park is living by the sea without the crowds: a green, stately residential district just behind the boulevard of Scheveningen, between the resort and the dunes. With characterful 1920s–30s homes, leafy streets and the beach within walking distance, it is a popular, pleasant coastal district — lively enough thanks to the proximity of Bad, but with a quiet residential atmosphere.

Location and surroundings

The Belgisch Park lies between Scheveningen Bad, the Westbroekpark and the dunes. The boulevard, the beach and the Scheveningse Bosjes are close by, and tram and bus connect the district with the centre.

Living and the property market

The housing supply consists mostly of pre-war townhouses, apartments (some with sea views) and upper and lower maisonettes, with a few villas. The sought-after seaside location keeps the price per square metre firm.

The market figures in this guide are indicative. A specific home’s value depends on location, sea view and condition. Curious what your home in the Belgisch Park is worth? Request a no-obligation valuation.

Who is the Belgisch Park right for?

The Belgisch Park suits anyone who wants to live by the sea and in greenery with a pleasant, stately atmosphere: families, movers and lovers of pre-war architecture. Anyone seeking a large garden in a villa district will look sooner to the Westbroekpark; anyone wanting buzzing nightlife, to Scheveningen Bad.
