Rental homes in Haantje, Rijswijk

Rental prices and market figures for Haantje, Rijswijk

Haantje is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: of the 616 homes, only 12% are on the rental market, and there is no housing association stock. All rental properties are owned by private or commercial landlords, meaning you are exclusively dealing with the free sector here. Social housing is therefore not available in Haantje.

Over the past twelve months, 28 homes were rented out in the free sector in Haantje, at an average rent of €1,088 per month (excluding social housing). The range ran from €916 to €1,370 per month, with an average living area of 66 m². This works out at around €16.50 per m², which is relatively affordable for a neighbourhood with a WOZ value of €550,000 per home. That WOZ value is, incidentally, lower than the district average of Wijk 10 (€586,000), but well above the municipal average of Rijswijk (€346,000). Haantje is therefore a neighbourhood with high-quality owner-occupied homes, but the rental prices are moderate compared to what you would expect based on the WOZ value.

Living in Haantje, Rijswijk

Haantje is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the southern edge of Rijswijk, nestled between the built-up area and the open landscape towards Delft. The neighbourhood has a green, almost village-like character, but is close enough to urban amenities to offer the best of both worlds. The housing stock mainly consists of ground-floor family homes, terraced houses and detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by some later extensions. The high WOZ value and the fact that 88% of homes are owner-occupied give the neighbourhood a well-maintained and stable character.

The population is relatively young and highly educated: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old (985 out of 2,315 residents), and 72% have a high level of education. Households with children are the most common family type, giving the neighbourhood a family-friendly profile. The labour participation rate of 82% and an average income of €50,800 are clearly above the Rijswijk average of €40,300, reflecting the purchasing power and quality of the living environment.

Amenities in Haantje

Resident Corrie describes the neighbourhood as "very mixed" and points to the nice shops and the community centre: "We also have a small community centre that is used frequently." That community centre plays an active role in the social life of the district. For daily groceries, supermarkets are within easy reach, towards the centre of Rijswijk or via the nearby shopping facilities in adjacent neighbourhoods. Schools score remarkably high in resident reviews: the sub-score for education stands at a perfect 10.0, indicating that good primary education is available in the immediate vicinity. Green spaces and recreation also score an 8.5: the neighbourhood borders parks and green strips that invite walking and cycling. Corrie does add a caveat: dealers who are regularly active in the park are perceived as a downside. That is honest information that you won't find with any competitor at neighbourhood level.

Haantje is conveniently located relative to the major cities in the region. By car, via the A4 and A13, you can reach The Hague (about 10 minutes) and Delft (about 10 minutes) quickly. Rijswijk station, within cycling distance of the neighbourhood, offers direct train connections to The Hague Central and Delft. Several bus routes connect Haantje with the centre of Rijswijk and surrounding districts.
