Houtwijk, a neighborhood located in Loosduinen of The Hague with more than 5000 houses, is one of the most popular neighborhoods in The Hague. Houtwijk is a neighborhood in The Hague that consists mainly of new homes built after 1980. Houtwijk, despite its name is considered to be a part of the larger Loosduinen area. Houtwijk is different from the other areas of Loosduinen because it has new construction.
Houtwijk, in the past, was a rural region with farmland and small factories on narrow canals. It belonged to Loosduinen. The area retained its original character for some time after the annexation in 1923. However, businesses gradually left the area. Burgemeestersbuurt was developed in the late 1920s to the northeast from the village centre of Loosduinen. Allied bombing targeted this area during World War II.
The Hague published a development plan in 1973. Between Burgemeestersbuurt, and the newly completed Leyenburg Hospital, 4300 houses were constructed. These homes consist of 55% single-family houses. The urban design was designed by ir. R.P. Voskuil & ir. K.Y. K.Y. Burgemeestersbuurt was incorporated into the new Houtwijk neighbourhood, which took its name from the Houtweg Road that connected the Stationsweg to Lippe Biesterfeldweg. This road was the main artery for the new Houtwijk. The Houtweg has been paved and its name changed in 1967 to Kapelaan Meereboerweg because The Hague had an existing Houtweg (near Hooigracht, in the city centre).
Houtwijk, a family-friendly neighbourhood, is easier to navigate by bike than car. This is because certain parts of the area are not linked by roads that cars can use. The only way to cross parks and canals is by bicycle or foot. According to the municipal policy, children playing take priority over cars. According to municipal policy, in recent years there was a policy of installing one or more speed bumps on all residential streets that are longer than 70 meters.
