The range was also around that level, indicating little variation in supply. By comparison, the average WOZ value in Wilgenrijk is €575,000, more than double the municipal average of €304,000 in Maassluis. This is not a cheap rental neighbourhood.

Wilgenrijk: quiet, green and clearly family-oriented
Wilgenrijk is a quiet, well-maintained neighbourhood on the edge of Maassluis. Walking around, you see it immediately: wide streets, plenty of greenery, spacious single-family homes and little traffic. The neighbourhood has a clear family character. Almost a third of households have children, 42% of residents are married, and the labour participation rate is 79%. The income level is significantly higher than the municipal average, which is visible in the condition of the homes and the relative tranquillity of the area.
On the Wilgenrijk neighbourhood page you can read resident reviews that confirm this picture. Residents appreciate the green environment and the safety for children. A recurring point in the reviews is the good balance between space and proximity to amenities: Maassluis city centre is easily accessible by bike, and for larger shopping trips the region is well connected via the A20. Critical notes sometimes concern the limited range of shops directly in the neighbourhood itself and the reliance on the car for some daily errands. Those used to a lively, urban environment may find Wilgenrijk too quiet.
Nearby neighbourhoods offer a different character. Dijkpolder and Taanschuurpolder are also quiet residential areas, while Burgemeesterswijk is closer to Maassluis's historic centre and has a slightly more mixed living environment. For those considering renting a flat in Wilgenrijk or the immediate area: supply is limited, and most rental homes are single-family houses. More information about amenities, safety and municipal policy can be found on the Maassluis municipality website.
Renting in Wilgenrijk: who is this for, and who is it not for?
