Renting in Wijk 09: a market largely in the hands of housing corporations
Wijk 09 is predominantly a rental district: 62% of the more than 4,000 homes are rented out, the vast majority of which (58%) are owned by housing corporations. The private sector is therefore limited here. In the past twelve months, only 5 private-sector homes were rented, with an average rent of €1,165 per month and a range of €981 to €1,615 per month. The average floor area was 78 m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing and rooms. Current rental prices and availability can be found in the overview at the top of this page. The average WOZ value of €339,000 is slightly below the municipal average of €346,000 for Rijswijk, reflecting the relatively accessible position of this district. Anyone looking for a rental home in the social segment will have to go through a housing corporation; private-sector supply is scarce.
Accessible and green, but not the most striking district of Rijswijk
Wijk 09 scores a 7.8 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident experiences. Scores for accessibility (9.2) and amenities (9.2) are notably high, and greenery also performs well with an 8.8. Resident Imani describes the district as "quiet with many different amenities" and specifically mentions the good public transport connections, including bus and tram, and the proximity of the Parijsplein shopping centre. That shopping centre, not far from the neighbourhood Stervoorde, is the daily hub for groceries and small purchases for many residents.
The atmosphere is quiet, sometimes a bit flat. Desteny, who has just moved in, writes honestly: "Blunt but colourful. As far as I can see now, it's quite okay." That feeling of a district that doesn't immediately impress but is functional comes up more often. Beauty and housing both score a 6.6, indicating that the quality of housing and the appearance of public space are not highly valued. Reviewer Rison notes that many foreign students live there, pointing to a mixed and changing population. Yassur, on the other hand, is more enthusiastic: "Cosy and nice neighbourhood, lots to do, especially fun for children. Everyone is always cheerful." The neighbourhood Eikelenburg and the nearby Hoekpolder are part of the same district and each have their own character. More resident reviews and detailed district data can be found on the district page of Wijk 09.
The district has the highest concentration of over-65s of all age groups: over 2,500 of the 9,130 residents fall into that category. This translates into a quiet street scene, little nuisance, and a neighbourhood where life moves at a slower pace. The labour participation rate of 55% and the average income of €33,900, which is clearly below the Rijswijk average of €40,300, indicate that this is not a district with a highly educated, young working population as its core.
Renting in Wijk 09: who is this suitable for, and who not?
Renting in Wijk 09 is attractive for people who prioritise peace, greenery, and good public transport accessibility. Families with children can do well here, and elderly people also enjoy living here. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Wijk 09 via the private sector should expect limited supply and an average rent of around €1,165 per month. For starters looking to rent a home quickly without long waiting times, the social rental market here is not the fastest route.
