Living in Van Rijckevorsel, Lisse

Van Rijckevorsel is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the northwest side of Lisse, directly bordering the centre. The neighbourhood has a distinct residential character: wide streets, many single-family homes, and a population that has lived there for a long time.
