Living in Artiestenbuurt, Rijswijk
Artiestenbuurt owes its name to streets named after artists and musicians, a tradition found in more neighbourhoods around Rijswijk. The neighbourhood lies in the western part of Rijswijk, sandwiched between the railway line and larger residential areas. It is a compact, mixed urban district with a pronounced urban character. Think terraced houses and porch flats from the 1960s and 1970s, interspersed with some newer buildings. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural peculiarities, but rather for its functional layout and central location.
The population is young and diverse: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and single-person households form the majority. This gives the neighbourhood a dynamic, urban feel. Families are less dominant, although there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity. For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood: there are supermarkets and small shops within walking distance, and the In de Bogaard shopping centre in the centre of Rijswijk is quickly accessible by bike.
Accessibility is one of the strongest points of Artiestenbuurt, and residents are clearly aware of this. Station Rijswijk is a short bike ride away and offers direct connections to Den Haag Centraal (approximately 5 minutes) and Delft. Via the A4 and A13 you are quickly on the motorway. Tram lines and bus connections complete the public transport offering. The accessibility score from residents is therefore a perfect 10 out of 10.
The neighbourhood also scores highly on green space (9/10) and housing (9/10). There are parks and green strips in the area, and the homes are apparently experienced as pleasant by the people living there. Yet not everything is rosy. The safety score stands out negatively with a 5 out of 10. Resident Noah puts it this way: "I am very happy with where I live. Good accessibility and shops nearby. But it is not very safe here. I too often see messages that someone has been stabbed or beaten up." That is honest feedback that you as a potential buyer should take seriously. The municipality of Rijswijk is working on liveability and safety in various districts; more information can be found at rijswijk.nl.
Compared to neighbouring districts such as Stationskwartier and Kleurenbuurt, Artiestenbuurt has a slightly rougher character. The Spoorzicht neighbourhood also borders the railway line and has a similar urban atmosphere.

Does a home for sale in Artiestenbuurt suit you?
Artiestenbuurt mainly appeals to starters and young professionals who want to live centrally with good public transport connections and not too far from The Hague. The entry price of €319,000 makes it accessible for starters, although the average transaction prices of nearly €475,000 are substantial for a neighbourhood with these WOZ values. Expect to have to bid above the asking price for an attractive property, because the available owner-occupied housing supply is scarce. Families with children who prioritise safety would do well to seriously weigh the safety score and resident reviews. Are you looking for a rental property as an alternative or as an intermediate step? Then check the rental homes in Artiestenbuurt, because the vast majority of the housing stock here consists of rental properties.
