The character of Kijkduin
Kijkduin is the quiet, green counterpart to bustling Scheveningen: The Hague’s second seaside resort, with a broad beach, extensive dunes and a village heart substantially renewed in recent years. It is smaller-scale and more understated than Scheveningen, with living by the sea as its great asset — from modern apartments with sea views to spacious villas among the greenery.
Location and surroundings
Kijkduin lies on the south-western coast of The Hague, in the Loosduinen borough, up against the green Ockenburgh and Bohemen. The beach, the boulevard and the dunes are on the doorstep, and the renewed shopping heart covers the daily shop.
Living and the property market
The housing supply ranges from modern apartments with sea views in the renewed centre to spacious detached villas set in greenery. Because of the sought-after seaside location, prices are in the higher segment.
The market figures in this guide are indicative and apply to the whole Kijkduin and Ockenburgh area. A specific home’s value depends heavily on sea view, type and location. Curious what your home is worth? Request a no-obligation valuation.
