Living in Huis te Lande, Rijswijk
Huis te Lande is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the southwest of Rijswijk, which lives up to its name. The neighbourhood has an estate-like character, with spacious plots, many trees, and housing that mainly consists of detached and semi-detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s. New construction is scarce; the neighbourhood is largely built up and has a stable, mature character. You will hardly find any apartment blocks or porch flats here. This also explains why the rental percentage is so low: this is not a neighbourhood of apartments, but of owner-occupied homes with gardens.
The average household income is €41,500, clearly above the Rijswijk average of €40,300, and 58% of residents have a higher education. The largest age group is 65-plus (325 out of 1,175 residents), followed by those aged 45-65. This gives the neighbourhood a quiet, mature atmosphere. Families with young children are present, but less dominant than in surrounding neighbourhoods.
