Who was listed
Which homes came to market in The Hague
Which homes came to market this month, and what each kind asked. The tables split the new rental listings by property type (apartments, houses, studios and rooms), by furnishing (unfurnished, part-furnished or furnished) and by number of rooms, with each group's share of listings, median asking rent, rent per m² and median size. A group only shows figures when enough listings back it. Use it to see what an apartment, a furnished home or a two-room home typically asked, rather than relying on one overall figure.

Neighborhoods
Rents by neighborhood in The Hague

Position
Where The Hague stood among Dutch cities
Where The Hague stood among all Dutch cities with enough new rental listings that month. The strip places The Hague between the city with the lowest and the city with the highest median, with the national median as a reference, and the ranks show its position on median asking rent and on rent per m², counted from the most expensive. Ranking on both measures matters, because a city can rank high on rent simply because its homes are larger. Use it to judge how expensive The Hague is compared with other Dutch cities.

How these figures are measured
These are asking rents for new listings first seen in September 2026 in The Hague, including rooms and studios. A fall in rent alongside a rise in rent per square metre usually signals a change in listing mix rather than a price move.
Which listings count
New rental listings first stored in September 2026, with parking spaces left out. A figure appears only when enough listings back it, so small groups are left out rather than guessed.
Asking rents, not signed rents
Figures describe the rent advertised in the listings Luntero represents. They are not signed rents, official statistics or the whole housing stock.
Change is like for like
Change against August 2026 compares only listing sources present in both months, so a shift in which sources were collected is not read as a shift in rents.
