Hi everyone, another boring housing question but I honestly feel so stuck. I graduated from uni last year and with my student housing contract, I was still able to stay until the contract expires. I had this max 2 years contract where you needed to be enrolled as a student coming from outside of The Hague.

Now this contract is expiring by the end of February. Hence I am looking for my own studio. I make 47k annually as a data analyst and have a permanent contract. My budget is max 1300 all included. I apply to multiple apartments daily on Pararius, and I receive absolutely zero response. I started looking a month ago and I haven’t been invited for a single viewing. Hence I am getting stressed… Where am I doing wrong? Does anyone have any tips?

Although my main priority is to stay in The Hague, I also apply in Leiden - Delft - Utrecht and surrounding villages.

Thanks in advance!

Now that we are full in mushrooms season. Where can i buy fresh mushrooms that are not the typical ones we see in the supermarkets (champignon, kastanjechampignons, shiitake etcerc).

Anyone knows a good spot?

PD: talking about not trippy mushrooms 🙂

Hey everyone! I recently gave my website for finding kids' activities in The Hague a big refresh. I’ve added a bunch of new activities coming up through December, plus a brand-new section for permanent spots like family cafes, and play areas.

I’d love your input on the navigation to make sure it’s as clear and user-friendly as possible:

* Option A: Keep the initial welcome screen with cards introducing the different sections: Events / Places to Go (this only shows up on your very first visit, then converts to a toggle afterward).
* Option B: Skip the welcome screen entirely and land straight on the activities with just the top toggle bar.

My main question: Is the top toggle noticeable enough on its own, or does the initial welcome card screen help set the context better for first-time visitors? Check out the screenshots in the comments below to see both options!

P.S. If you're looking for things to do with your little ones around the city, feel free to bookmark/save the site for your upcoming plans, and share it with any other local parents or school/daycare groups who might find it handy!

I have just moved into a small apartment in the Hague. I’ve been busy putting together all thr flat packed furniture but it’s just missing some greenery! if anyone has some plants/cutting they can part with, I’d love to pick them up and give them a new home!

Fantastisch..

I know this topic comes up constantly, and I’m sure most of you are tired of seeing housing questions every day.

Now that the academic year has started, I’m hoping the pressure has eased a little.

That said, I’d really appreciate any tips on finding student housing in the Netherlands. Also, does anyone know when providers like Xior usually start listing rooms for the following academic year?

I’ve just submitted my application, so I still have almost a full year to sort this out. I’m hoping that gives me a better chance than the people posting last-minute requests here.

I'll be in town from 25th to 30th. Knowing the 25th as USGP Date, I wanna know where to go to watch in the city or Scheveningen?

I mean, it seems like the obvious choice if a tourist wants to bring back some Dutch cheese home. Would supermarkets have better quality/price?
Also looking for Chocolate shop recommandations to bring back as gifts.
I am staying in the Center and going to the beach tomorrow on my last day.

Hello! I’m curious about what life is like in Bezuidenhout-oost (or bezuidenhout in general). I’ve heard good things “via-via”, but can’t find too much recent information online.

I’m primarily curious about daily life there, the type of people that live there, restaurants/ cafe’s, and the proximity to the rest of the city.

Edit: my partner and I are late 20’s/ early 30’s, highly educated, do not want kids but want a dog. We both speak Dutch but have international backgrounds.

Hey! I'm looking for a good car detailer, for the interior mainly. Any recommendations in the Hague or Delft surroundings? Price preferably up to 100 euros. Thanks!

I know young Dutch people usually start working at an early age. However, I mostly see them at places like Bagels & Beans or Boosty, rather than fast food chains like KFC or McDonald's.

Do local companies/cafes pay higher wages to Dutch speakers, or is it just a matter of preference?

hi! what are your top sushi spots in The Hague? I would like to go to a sushi spot but I don’t know where

Hoi allemaal,

Voor het opstellen ons samenlevingscontract zijn we op zoek naar ervaringen met notarissen in Den Haag (en omstreken). Dus heb je ooit een samenlevingscontract hier in de regio afgesloten ben ik benieuwd: waar was dat, hoe was de ervaring en wat kostte het ongeveer?

Bedankt alvast!

I will be moving out in June, and was thinking about how many books I have and was wondering if there is any place in The Hague that accepts English-language books as donation ! Also, it would be much appreciated if any of you could tell me how to donate the books (i.e. do I just go there and give it to them / do they have a pick-up service?) Thank you!

Hey! so today i was driving in Eisenhowerlaan by the bit between line 1 and 17 of the tram, and I noticed these tram rails and stops and I checked on Google Maps and it doesn’t appear to be a line that serves this stop, does somebody know what is it? is it for expansion?

Hello, my partner just got a company car and we are struggling to get a parking permit. Unfortunately his company won’t pay for parking costs, so it’s all out of his pocket.

We have a garage at our apartment building but a parking spot costs 175€/month and given we are already paying 2000€ in rent we cannot afford that. We tried applying for a parking permit on the street, which costs 345€/year, but the municipality refused it because they say we have a garage and that if we want a parking permit we have to provide an official letter from our housing agency stating that there is no space in the garage (which unfortunately is not the case).

Is this really how it works? It is very frustrating because we cannot afford a parking spot in our garage, but the municipality is literally forcing us to get one or park in free areas that are of course super far away from our apartment. This feels kinda weird, can they really do that? Is there really no solution to this situation? It has been an exhausting fight with the municipality and it all seems very unfair.

Hoi,

Ik wil graag onderzoeken of er in Rustenburg/Oostbroek behoefte is aan een (specialty) koffiezaak die ook als community space kan dienen: een plek om te studeren of werken met goede koffie of thee, even te ontspannen, te ontbijten, bordspellen te spelen of een boek te lezen.

Als jij hier ook woont en je het gevoel hebt dat er een goede koffiezaak in de buurt mist, zou je dan deze korte online enquête willen invullen?

Het invullen duurt ongeveer 2 minuten, maar het zou ons enorm helpen.
Bedankt!

I already bought the four tires from banden concurrent.

Hii DenHaag. Op zondag 11 oktober ben ik mijn ring verloren in de Vruchtenbuurt ( zie foto’s). De ring is gegeven door een overleden tante dus heeft emotionele waarde! Als iemand iets heeft gezien app mij dan graag.

Hoi allemaal! I'm planning to check out the Dia de Murtos night at the Zwarte Ruiter in Grote Markt. It's on the 1st of November from 19:00 onwards. There's apparently live music performances from Mexican bands, which sounds cool.

Would anyone like to join me? Ideally would like to go with someone also in their twenties :)
