The Geuzenkwartier is a residential neighbourhood in the Segbroek district of The Hague, right next to the Statenkwartier. Like the surrounding neighbourhoods, it is a popular place to live: close to the sea, the dunes and the city centre.
Homes in the Geuzenkwartier
Most homes are older townhouses and upper and lower apartments in brick terraces. Many have high ceilings, timber floors and original details, combined with installations, insulation and bathrooms that are ready for an update. In buildings divided into apartments, a VvE takes care of the shared parts.
Typical projects
- Full renovations after purchase: new installations, insulation, a new kitchen and bathroom. See full renovation.
- New bathrooms and toilets, often on timber floors in upstairs apartments. See bathroom and toilet renovation.
- Window frames in a style that suits the building, with better glass. See window frames.
- Plastering of cracked walls and old ceilings. See plastering.
Things to know
- Check your address first: some streets in this part of The Hague have protected status. Changes to the front facade, roof and frames may need a permit. Interior work usually does not.
- VvE: in apartment buildings, work on the facade, roof, frames or shared pipes needs VvE approval; read VvE approval for renovations.
- Parking and access: parking is limited, and a skip or scaffold on the street may need permission from the municipality. We arrange this as part of the planning.
Renovating an older home
Older homes combine character with outdated wiring, pipes and insulation. Read renovating a pre-war home in The Hague for what to expect. We also work in the neighbouring Statenkwartier and Duinoord.
