Real estate agent in Duinoord
Duinoord was laid out in the late nineteenth century on what had been dune land for centuries — and that origin has shaped the neighborhood. The wide avenues, the stately townhouses, and the oval Sweelinckplein reveal the ambition with which Duinoord was established: a neighborhood for the wealthy and the middle class, designed with an eye for scale and representativeness.
A large part of the buildings now holds the status of national or municipal monument.The neighborhood has layers. In the early twentieth century, repatriates and people on leave from the Dutch East Indies settled here, leaving their mark on buildings and stories.
Duinoord is a neighborhood that does not gloss over its past. HAYMAN Real Estate guides buyers and sellers in Duinoord with knowledge of a housing market where monument status, architectural history, and buyer profile strongly determine the outcome of a transaction.

Selling your home in Duinoord
Selling a home in Duinoord requires an approach that does justice to what the neighborhood offers: monumental buildings, a recognizable urban structure and a stable demand from buyers who consciously choose this part of The Hague. That buyer group is focused and critical — they know what they're looking for, and they're willing to pay for quality that can be proven. Authentic details count heavily here. Original stained glass windows, hard stone pavements, restored façade elements and intact layout are no details — these are expectations of buyers who understand the segment.
We ensure that these qualities are visible in photography and presentation. For homes with a listed status, specific rules apply to adjustments. As a sales agent, we inform potential buyers about this clearly and proactively — this prevents misunderstandings and often speeds up the sales process.

Living in Duinoord
Duinoord has a quiet, inhabited quality that depends on the scale of the buildings and the width of the lanes. The neighborhood is not a transit point — it is a destination. People who live here have consciously chosen what Duinoord offers: space, architecture and proximity to both the city and the beach.
Reinkenstraat
The Reinkenstraat is Duinoord's classic shopping street. In the 1920s and 1930s, the street grew into the district's main shopping district. Today, you will find craft specialty shops, restaurants and local shops that give the street its character. There is also a monument in Reinkenstraat that recalls the raid of March 22-23, 1943, in which 24 Jewish people in hiding were arrested.
Sweelinck Square
The oval-shaped Sweelinckplein is surrounded by neo-Renaissance mansions from around 1900 and is considered one of the most beautiful squares in The Hague. Many buildings around the square are state or municipal monuments. This gives the square a protected status that secures its character for the future — and that structurally supports the home values in the immediate vicinity.
A neighborhood with a layered history
Duinoord was built at the end of the nineteenth century on an ancient dune area, intended for the wealthy and the emerging middle class. At the beginning of the twentieth century, returnees and leave-goers from the Dutch East Indies settled here, leaving traces in the neighborhood's architectural style and stories. This layering — architectural and historical — is one of the features that distinguishes Duinoord from neighborhoods with a more unambiguous origin.
Between city and beach
Duinoord lies on the border between urban proximity and coastal peace. The Hague Central Station and the city center are accessible by bike; Kijkduin beach and the Scheveningen coast are also within a few minutes. This makes the neighborhood attractive for a wide group of residents — from families looking for space and greenery to people who want to combine the city with the proximity of the sea.
Buying a home
in Duinoord
Duinoord attracts buyers who know what they are looking for: space, architectural quality and a neighborhood with a familiar face. Families who often move from an apartment, people who come to The Hague from other cities, and buyers who prefer historic construction over new construction — they are all represented in the demand side of this market.
For homes with a listed status, it is important to be well informed in advance: what are the options for renovation, what permits are required and how does the monument status relate to your plans?

Frequently asked questions about Duinoord
How much is my home in Duinoord worth?
This depends on location, type of housing, architectural condition and any monument status. The price difference between a mansion on Sweelinckplein and a house in a side street is considerable. A customized valuation gives you a concrete and substantiated picture.
What does the monument status mean
for buyers and sellers?
A national monument or municipal monument is subject to rules for adjustments to the exterior and sometimes the interior. For sellers, it is important that buyers are clearly informed about this. For buyers, the following applies: the monument status guarantees the quality and character of the building, but requires conscious choices about renovation plans.
Is Duinoord suitable as a family neighborhood?
Yes. The combination of spacious homes, wide lanes, proximity to schools and the location between city and beach makes Duinoord very attractive for families. The neighborhood has a quiet character without being isolated — everything is accessible, but daily life takes place in a well-organized environment.
How active is the housing market in Duinoord?
The market there is very stable and active, especially in the segment between 450,000 and 900,000 euros. Well-presented homes find a buyer here relatively quickly. However, the supply is limited — Duinoord does not have a high turnover rate from owners, which structurally maintains the scarcity.
What makes Duinoord special compared to
from other neighborhoods in The Hague?
The market is very active, especially in the segment between 400,000 and 550,000 euros. Well-priced homes are usually sold here within weeks. The higher segment — such as large mansions on the Regentesselaan — has a longer duration but a targeted buyer group.
