Rental homes in Naaldwijk, Westland

What does a rental property in Naaldwijk cost in the private sector?

Naaldwijk was originally an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 67% of the more than 9,600 homes are owner-occupied, and only 33% are rental. Of those rental homes, around 25% belong to housing associations (social housing) and 8% to other landlords, so the private sector is relatively small. You notice that in the availability. In the past twelve months, only 28 homes have been rented out in the private sector, with an average rent of €1,715 per month. The range runs from €750 to nearly €3,000 per month, with an average floor area of 106 m². For comparison: the average WOZ value in Naaldwijk is €445,000, slightly above the Westland average of €424,000. That higher price level is also reflected in the rents.

Naaldwijk according to residents: quiet, safe, but not everything shines

On the neighbourhood page of Naaldwijk, residents rate their area 7.4 out of 10. That is a solid score, and the sub-scores show where the strength lies: safety scores 8.0, housing and education both 7.8. Resident Peter sums it up succinctly: "Good neighbourhood. Few problems here." He does mention that parking on the street is difficult, something you hear in several parts of Naaldwijk, especially in the older areas around the Centrumgebied and Pijletuinen.

Naaldwijk feels like a village that is slowly growing. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years old, and the majority of households are families with children. You notice that in the street scene: playgrounds, primary schools, and neighbours who know each other. Resident Evi Goudswaard writes: "Nice neighbours, nice place. People help each other." She mentions the park in the area, the school around the corner, and even the local hairdresser and snack bar as plus points. Those who end up in Hoogeland Oost or Hoge Bomen will find that family atmosphere most strongly.

Yet there are also caveats. Green spaces and amenities score the lowest at 6.8. Resident Jansen confirms this: "Parks are poorly maintained and very monotonous in terms of planting. There is quite a lot of litter." He also notes that apart from two primary schools, there are hardly any amenities in his immediate area. For larger shopping trips or a night out, you have to rely on the centre of Naaldwijk or drive to 's-Gravenzande or towards The Hague. Accessibility scores 7.3: by car you are quickly on the A4 or the Veilingroute, but public transport is limited to bus lines. A car of your own is practically indispensable in Naaldwijk.
