What does a rental property cost in Poeldijk?
Poeldijk is a village where most people own their homes: 65% of the more than 3,100 homes are owner-occupied. Of the 35% rental properties, the largest share (27% of the total stock) belongs to housing associations, meaning the private rental sector is small here. You can see this in the figures: only 11 homes were rented out in the private sector in the past twelve months. The average rent in the private sector was €2,141 per month, with a range from €920 to €3,195. The average floor area of those homes was 127 m², so you pay a lot for space here. The WOZ value in Poeldijk (€408,000) is slightly below the average for the municipality of Westland (€424,000), but that does not necessarily translate into lower rents.

How is living in this Westland greenhouse horticulture village?
Poeldijk is nestled between greenhouses and the edge of The Hague, giving the village a unique character. It is not a bustling city centre, but a community where people greet each other at the Albert Heijn on the Voorstraat and where children play in the street. With 1,355 households with children as the largest group and a sizeable population of 25- to 45-year-olds (2,140 residents), it is clearly a family village. Residents give Poeldijk a 7.0 out of 10 on the Poeldijk neighbourhood page. Education scores notably high (8.8), which fits the family character. Housing gets a 7.8, but the score for green spaces (5.6) is disappointing, which is not surprising given that the surrounding landscape mainly consists of greenhouse horticulture rather than parks.
Resident Ashley describes it as a "friendly neighbourhood" where "all the neighbours keep an eye on each other a bit." This image is confirmed by Jos, who has good contact with the immediate neighbours. At the same time, there is also criticism: another resident calls for more enforcement, especially during the darker months, and feels that people "should look out for each other more." The community score (6.4) confirms that the social fabric exists, but is not equally strong everywhere. Safety scores a 7.2, reasonable but not excellent.
In terms of accessibility (also a 7.2), Poeldijk is in a great location. Via the N211 you are quickly on the A4 towards The Hague or Rotterdam. There is no train station, but bus connections take you to Delft and The Hague. In the Centrumgebied you will find daily amenities: a supermarket, bakery and a few eateries. If you need more shops or restaurants, you can drive to Naaldwijk or 's-Gravenzande in ten minutes. The neighbourhoods Poeldijk Noord and Westhof en Dijkpolder are the residential areas where most families live, with newer homes and a bit more space. The municipality of Westland is investing in housing construction in the region, but supply remains tight for now.
Is Poeldijk right for you as a tenant?
Renting in Poeldijk is most suitable for families and couples seeking peace and not dependent on urban amenities. The high score for education makes it attractive for parents with school-age children. For single starters, it is more difficult: the private rental supply is scarce and an average rent of over €2,100 per month is steep. Renting an apartment in Poeldijk is possible, but do not expect a large supply. Those looking for more buzz and nightlife are better off in The Hague. And if your budget allows you to buy rather than rent, also check out the homes for sale in Poeldijk, because with 65% owner-occupancy, that is the norm here.

The neighbourhood is quiet but I do think there should be more enforcement, especially now that it gets dark quickly, that would give me more peace of mind. What could be better is people looking out for each other more.

Auto-translated to English by AIAll the neighbours look out for each other a bit, which is always nice. It's a quiet neighbourhood, nothing to complain about, just nice living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet. Too little green maintenance, too few parking spaces. Here and there the pavement is very uneven. Something needs to be done about it. Plenty of play facilities for children though. No nightlife.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living in Poeldijk for six months now, it's super quiet here, very nice, but I do miss some more shops. Having a supermarket or two added would be nice, the Jumbo is so expensive here.
