The range runs from €1,072 to €2,850 per month, with an average living area of 110 m². This works out at around €16 per m² per month.

Living in Strijp, Rijswijk
Strijp is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the south of Rijswijk, with a predominantly post-war character. The buildings largely consist of single-family homes and detached houses from the 1950s to 1970s, with wide streets, spacious gardens and plenty of greenery in public spaces. It is not a neighbourhood with busy shopping streets or hospitality venues around the corner, but it is precisely this tranquillity that attracts residents who consciously choose a quiet living environment. Resident Otto sums it up succinctly: "Cosy and pleasantly quiet." The resident score on the neighbourhood page for Strijp confirms this picture: an average of 8.6, with highs for community (9.5) and safety (9.0).
Facilities in Strijp
Strijp is not a self-sufficient neighbourhood when it comes to daily groceries, but the proximity of Rijswijk city centre and the adjacent neighbourhoods compensates for this. For supermarkets and shops, you can quickly head towards Haagweg or Rijswijk city centre. Primary schools are within cycling distance, and for secondary education you head to Rijswijk city centre or The Hague. In terms of sports and recreation, the location is favourable: Wilhelminapark and the surrounding green areas offer space for walking and cycling. The neighbourhood scores an 8.5 for both greenery and facilities in resident reviews, indicating that residents experience the balance as good, even if there is no supermarket on the corner.
Accessibility
The accessibility of Strijp scores a 9.0 among residents, and for good reason. By car, the connection to the A4 and A13 motorways is quickly reached, meaning The Hague, Delft and Rotterdam are within a twenty to thirty-minute drive. For public transport, there are bus connections towards Rijswijk station and The Hague city centre, from where the rest of the Randstad is easily accessible. By bike, Rijswijk city centre can be reached in fifteen minutes. Resident Amber does add a note of caution: "Well accessible, but slightly unsafe for cyclists due to the speed of many motorists in the neighbourhood." This is a point of attention for cyclists who travel in and out of the neighbourhood daily. Parking is generally not a problem in Strijp; most homes have a driveway or space in front of the door, and paid parking hardly plays a role here.
Compared to neighbouring communities such as Overvoorde and the Presidentenbuurt, Strijp has a quieter and greener character, with a higher WOZ value and therefore also higher free-sector rents. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Strijp but with a lower budget can also look at the supply in the Ministerbuurt or more broadly at rental homes in Rijswijk.

The average income of €43,000 is above the municipal average of €40,300. Starters and students find little affordable supply here: the free sector is scarce and expensive, and for social housing there are waiting lists.

Respond quickly to available free-sector homes, as supply is limited. Also consider owner-occupied homes in Strijp as an alternative, given the large proportion of owner-occupied homes (78%) in the neighbourhood.
