Mariahoeve and Marlot is a neighborhood in The Hague, part of the Haagse Hout.

Between 1908 and 1953 the railway line between Rotterdam Hofplein and Scheveningen ran directly through the area. Between 1924 and 1959, the Hague city tram ran through the area to Marlot. Around 1930, the ice rinks of the Hague Ice Club were located in the Carel Reinierszkade. On the corner of Bezuidenhoutseweg, on the other side of the quay, was the Overbosch inn with a playground. Around the meadow area on which the district was built, the Loolaan in the Kleine Loo ran to the Grote Loo in Voorburg at approximately the height of this Roggekamp/Reigersbergerweg. Next to this Kleine Loo was the Marlot greyhound racing track on the Bezuidenhoutseweg before the 1950s. The farms Mariëndaal, Veelust, Mariahoeve, Zuidwerf and Hofzicht were located on the Bezuidenhoutseweg from Huis ten Bosch.

Strategies for this district were drawn up before the Second World War by (city) architect Dudok and others. Due to the problems that the railway caused in achieving good neighborhood development, nothing happened before the Second World War. It was not until 1957 that the growth plan that Mariahoeve had approved was abolished after the railway in 1953 and F. van der Sluys had left a draft design in 1954. Reigersbergen did not appear in this program and remained an open green space.

The very first pile for the construction of the new district was driven on 29 May 1958. The 'small houses' at Boekweitkamp were built first.

Mariahoeve comprises a rectangular main structure with four neighborhood streets, most of which are separated by green zones. The district is divided into six districts. These all have in common a green center with four floors on the northeast side and single-family homes on the west side. In five of these green centres, twelve building blocks, a college and a local shopping center are located under one corner. The middle neighborhoods have a neighborhood park or even a sports field.

Intensive office construction took place around the canal and in part of the adjacent area between the area and the railway line in the 1980s and 1990s.
