The character of Zorgvliet
Zorgvliet is one of the most refined addresses in The Hague: a small, green and exclusive district at the heart of the international zone. Around the Peace Palace, the World Forum and the Kunstmuseum stand stately villas and townhouses, interspersed with embassies and international institutions. It is living between diplomacy, culture and greenery.
With very few residents, Zorgvliet is more a refined enclave than an ordinary residential district — quiet, prestigious and international.
Location and surroundings
Zorgvliet lies between the Statenkwartier, Van Stolkpark and Duinoord, within cycling distance of both the centre and the coast. The international zone with its institutions defines the surroundings, with the Scheveningse Bosjes as the green lung.
Living and the property market
The housing supply consists of spacious detached villas, townhouses and stately apartments, in the absolute top segment of the Hague market. Supply is scarce and exclusive.
Please note: Zorgvliet has very few residents, so figures “per 1,000 residents” (such as safety) are statistically skewed — the district is partly institutional. The market prices quoted are indicative; for a specific home, request a valuation.
Who is Zorgvliet right for?
Zorgvliet suits anyone who wants refined, green and international living in the top segment: diplomats, international professionals and lovers of villas and culture. Anyone seeking an affordable home or urban buzz will look elsewhere.
