The character of Kraayenstein
Kraayenstein is a green, spaciously laid-out family district on the western edge of The Hague. Where the original 1980s district consists mainly of family homes with a garden, a very different kind of quarter has been added along its edge in recent years: the exclusive new-build park of Vroondaal, with spacious detached villas. Together they form one district in the CBS classification.
It is a ground-level, family-focused living environment, close to the dunes and the beach.

Kraayenstein lies in the far west of The Hague, up against Loosduinen and the Wateringse Veld, with the dunes and Kijkduin within cycling distance. Via the ring roads and the A4 you are quickly out of the city.
