Renting in Wijk 10: an owner-occupied district with scarce private sector spots
Wijk 10 is by far one of the more affluent districts of Rijswijk. The average WOZ value is €586,000, more than double the municipal average of €346,000. That says a lot about the character of the district: this is primarily owner-occupied territory. Only 15% of the more than 2,150 homes are rental properties, and the social segment is minimal (2% housing association stock). The rest of the rental supply comes from private landlords. In the private sector, 42 homes were rented out in the past twelve months, with an average rent of €1,276 per month and a range of €916 to €2,500 per month. The average floor area was 77 m². These are annual figures for the private sector, excluding social housing. How many are currently available and what the current average rent is can be seen at the top of this page.
Anyone looking for a rental home in Wijk 10 must therefore take into account limited supply and a price level that is noticeably higher than in other parts of Rijswijk. The average household income in the district is €54,700, compared to €40,300 municipality-wide. The labour participation rate is 80% and 60% of residents have a higher education degree. That also colours the rental market: anyone wanting to rent an apartment here is in a segment that suits a financially stable target group.
Sion, playgrounds and a bit of shade: how residents experience Wijk 10
On Buurtje.nl, Wijk 10 scores an 8.1 out of 10, based on six resident reviews. That is a solid score, and when you read the reviews you understand why. Residents particularly appreciate the district for its greenery (8.5), community atmosphere (8.3) and housing (8.3). Olivia, who has lived in the district since 2018, writes: "It is a nice district with enough playgrounds and good roads for rollerblading. The people are also all very friendly. I dare to walk the streets here as a woman in the evening, so safety is fine." That feeling of safety comes up more often. Kevin, who lived there as a child, calls the district "very beautiful" and says there is "actually nothing bad", although many young people do ride around on fatbikes.
The district consists of several sub-neighbourhoods, each with its own character. Sion is explicitly mentioned by residents as a nice place. Elsenburg, Haantje and Pasgeld are also part of Wijk 10. There is a community centre that is actively used, and the shops are described as "very nice". Resident Corrie mentions the mix of young families, elderly people and people with disabilities as something that makes the district pleasant, although she also adds a note: dealers in the park are a recurring concern.
Accessibility scores the lowest of all categories at 7.8, and that is recognisable. Anouschka writes that the district is "difficult to reach" and that there is no public transport available: "You have to do everything by bike or car on foot to get anywhere." Anyone dependent on public transport must seriously take this into account. All other scores and detailed resident reviews can be found on the district page of Wijk 10.

city is great
Auto-translated to English by AIA very mixed neighbourhood. From young families, elderly people and even a number of people with disabilities. This feels pleasant. The shops are also very nice. We also have a small neighbourhood centre that is used frequently. There are also downsides such as the dealers who are regularly on the parking lot. The hygiene is also not good. It would be nice if a bus would stop closer by.
Auto-translated to English by AIgood neighbourhood still naturally located neighbourhood watch is active and you can talk to them neighbourhood app where everything is used only difficult to reach no public transport available you have to do everything by bike or car walking to get somewhere.
Auto-translated to English by AII've always felt safe here since I was a child, this neighbourhood is very beautiful, the roads are good. There's actually nothing bad here. Except that there are a lot of young people on fatbikes going around, but that's not too bad since they usually don't bother you. Furthermore, in this neighbourhood you have everything you need, especially since Delft is also on the edge here. The facilities are also good; in 2018 this was even the most sustainable neighbourhood in the Netherlands. The people here are usually quite friendly, you have a few people here and there who are nice. The only thing I have trouble with is people who, when it comes to traffic, have no more than 3 brain cells, because I often see people making wrong turns, people with prams on the cycle path instead of on the pavement, and people cycling against the direction.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here since 2018 and I really like it. It's a nice neighbourhood with plenty of playgrounds and good roads for rollerblading. The people are all very friendly and "normal". As a woman, I dare to walk the streets here in the evening, so the safety is fine.
Auto-translated to English by AIgood, kids can still play outside, park next to us, nice walks and cosy neighbourhood.
