What does a rental property cost in Wijk 02 Rijswijk?
Wijk 02 has a fairly even split between rental and owner-occupied: 48% of the more than 5,694 homes are rental properties. About 27% of the total housing stock is owned by housing associations, while 21% is rented out by other landlords. This means the private sector is quite present here, but you are dependent on waiting lists for social housing. The average WOZ value is €311,000, which is lower than the Rijswijk average of €346,000. This difference also translates into rental prices in the private sector: over the past twelve months, 64 homes were rented out at an average rent of €1,873 per month, with a range of €779 to €4,000. The average floor area was 96 m². That is not cheap, but not exceptionally high for the The Hague region either. Want to know what is available today?

Schilderswijk reputation or nice neighbourhood? Residents are divided about Wijk 02
If you search online for experiences with Wijk 02, it is striking how varied the opinions are. On Buurtje.nl, the neighbourhood scores a 6.4 out of 10 based on resident reviews, and that spread says a lot. One resident, Marion, calls it a "quiet neighbourhood close to shops and public transport" with "plenty of play areas for children" and appreciates the greenery in and around the neighbourhood. Another resident, Nik, even gives a 9 and writes that it is easy to make contact with neighbours here and that accessibility to The Hague and Rotterdam is excellent. But there is also a very different sound: J. Hofte speaks of an "anti-social neighbourhood" and complains about nuisance, litter on the streets and neglect of communal gardens. That contrast is characteristic of Wijk 02: it strongly depends on which part of the neighbourhood you are in.
The neighbourhood actually consists of very different parts. In the historic Oud-Rijswijk you will find narrow streets and a village character, while the Rembrandtkwartier is a typical post-war residential area with porch flats and galleries. The Bomenbuurt is known as quieter, and Welgelegen has a mix of older single-family homes and newer apartments. The Havenkwartier is an area in development. Accessibility is a strong point: Rijswijk station is nearby and with tram and bus you are quickly in the centre of The Hague. Residents therefore give accessibility a 7.7. The neighbourhood scores lowest on cleanliness with a 5.0, which ties in with complaints about litter in certain streets. You can read more experiences and all sub-scores on the neighbourhood page with resident reviews of Wijk 02.
The average income of €40,900 is almost equal to the Rijswijk average. The population is relatively young: the largest group (3,200 residents) is between 25 and 45 years old. More than 2,635 households are single-person, which fits the picture of a neighbourhood with many apartments and starters. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of highly educated people (40%), but the labour participation rate of 66% is not particularly high. Energy consumption is remarkably low (930 m³ gas on average), which indicates that many homes are now better insulated or connected to district heating.

Very bad, impoverished neighbourhood, junkies, antisocial people who throw their rubbish on the street and in communal gardens instead of in the bins, foreigners from Poland, Turkey, Africa, etc. and more. Send all these people back where they came from. This neighbourhood is getting worse and worse. There are also stolen bikes here. Few parking spaces, but too many trees on the street. I don't dare walk the streets in the evening. Enforcement officers should actually check every day/evening.
