Centrum Rent Prices in The Hague 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
With a median price of €26.25/m², the area comfortably earns its BOUGIE status, but don't expect a palace for that price. Our neighborhood analysis shows you are paying for the 070 postcode prestige and the five-minute walk to Den Haag Centraal, not for actual floor space. The investment outlook remains steady due to high expat demand, but if you're looking at the top end of €34/m², make sure the unit has an A-class energy label or you'll get crushed by heating bills in those drafty canal houses.
The Vibe:Centrum is a dense grid of historic brick and high-rise glass where the Tram 1 and 16 lines are the primary soundtrack. You trade quiet nights and easy parking for immediate access to the Grote Markt and the high-end retail strip of Noordeinde. It is the only place in the city where a Ministry official in a tailored suit and a KABK art student with a neon mullet will wait in the same line for a snack at the Markthof.
The median rent price in Centrum, The Hague is €26.25 per m² per month, 2% above the The Hague city average of €25.8/m². Based on 4 verified rental data points as of January 2026.

Locals Ask
Can I find a place with a parking permit in Centrum?
Technically yes, but the waiting lists are brutal and many modern developments are explicitly excluded from street permit eligibility. Use a bike or pay for a private garage spot.
What is the investment outlook for small apartments here?
The investment outlook is strong for studios because of the high concentration of young professionals, though new rental cap regulations are squeezing margins on properties with low energy ratings.
Why is there such a wide gap in m² stats (€19 to €34)?
The €19/m² units are typically unrenovated walk-ups with ancient plumbing, while the €34/m² peak reflects new-build towers like 'The Grace' or luxury lofts near the Noordeinde.
How does the average rent compare to nearby Zeeheldenkwartier?
Centrum usually carries a €2-€4/m² premium over Zeeheldenkwartier because of the proximity to the main train stations and the primary shopping district.
Are the apartments near Spui too loud for residents?
Yes, if you're sensitive to noise, avoid anything directly on the tram lines or overlooking the Grote Markt, as the delivery trucks and nightlife are constant.
