Living in De Deijl, Wassenaar
De Deijl is located in the northeastern part of Wassenaar, nestled between the Rijksstraatweg, the A44 and the greenery of the De Deijl estate and the banks of the Haagse Beek. It is a neighbourhood with a distinctly green and village-like character, despite its relative proximity to The Hague and Leiden. The housing stock is varied: you will find spacious detached villas and semi-detached houses from the 1950s to the 1980s, interspersed with a number of smaller apartment complexes. The streets are wide, with many mature trees and little high-rise. It is quiet, sometimes almost silent, and that attracts a specific audience.
The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (575 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (400). With 315 households with children, it is also a family neighbourhood, though you notice this mainly during the morning and evening rush hours around the schools. Of the 1,895 residents, 54% are highly educated and 41% are married. It is a neighbourhood where people consciously choose to live and stay for a long time.

Residents of De Deijl particularly appreciate the peace, greenery and space. One resident wrote: "You live here almost rurally, but you are in The Hague in a quarter of an hour. That is the best of both worlds." There are also criticisms: public transport is poor and there is little to do for young people. The neighbourhood is quiet during the day and silent in the evenings. Compared to Dorp Wassenaar, you miss the cosiness of shops and terraces around the corner here, but you gain space and privacy. If you are looking for more bustle, you could also look at De Paauw, which is closer to the centre.
