A compact apartment on Hilvoordestraat
This two-room apartment on Hilvoordestraat sits in the Kleurenbuurt, a green corner of Rijswijk with a relaxed, residential feel. At 46 m² it is compact, and the rent of €898 is 38% below the neighbourhood average of €1,447, which makes it a keen option for singles or couples.

The Kleurenbuurt
The Kleurenbuurt neighbourhood is described by residents as a beautiful green area with schools nearby. One resident says: "it is the most beautiful neighbourhood ever." Another notes it is "quiet but going downhill," mentioning that the houses need attention and that play areas for children are old and not challenging. Based on two reviews, the picture is mixed: green and quiet, but with some concerns about upkeep and facilities. The area has a high share of one-person households, and a large group of residents aged 65 and over.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, the Hoogvliet is just around the corner, with an AH XL a couple of streets away and a PLUS within a five-minute walk. Schools are a bit further out: the nearest primary school, WSKO St. Jozefbasisschool, is about a ten-minute walk, and a few others are within a short cycle. The train station is about 1.2 km away, so commuting is manageable. The municipality of Rijswijk offers a range of amenities within easy reach.

Frequently asked questions
About Hilvoordestraat 161, Rijswijk
Is €898 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €898 is 38% below the neighbourhood average of €1,447, and the floor area of 46 m² is 45% smaller than the average of 83 m². So you are paying less, but for a smaller home. Compared with other rentals in the Kleurenbuurt, this is on the low end of the price range, which makes it a relatively affordable option.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This is an official registration, which means the home has been assessed and given a label based on its energy performance. A D label is in the middle of the scale, so you can expect moderate energy costs compared with more efficient homes, but it is not the most efficient label available.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket is a Hoogvliet at 189 metres, so it is on your doorstep. An AH XL is at 431 metres, and a PLUS is at 600 metres. That gives you several options for daily groceries within a short walk.
What are the schools like nearby?
The nearest primary school is WSKO St. Jozefbasisschool at about 2.8 km, which is a bit of a walk. Other primary schools, like OBS De Kyckert and WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla, are around 3.3 km away. There are 34 schools within 5 km, so there is a reasonable choice, though not immediately on the doorstep.
How is the neighbourhood for daily life?
Residents describe the Kleurenbuurt as green and quiet, with one calling it "the most beautiful neighbourhood ever." Another mentions it is quiet but notes that play areas for children are old and could be replaced. The area has a mix of ages, with many one-person households and a large group of residents over 65.
Is the train station within walking distance?
The train station is 1.2 km away, which is about a fifteen-minute walk. That makes it feasible to commute by train, though you would need to factor in the walk or cycle to the station.
