Living in Bomenbuurt, Rijswijk

Bomenbuurt owes its name to the trees: the streets are green, the trees are dense, and it feels quieter than you might expect given its location near the centre of Rijswijk. The neighbourhood largely consists of post-war buildings, with a mix of 1950s and 1960s terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a number of apartment blocks on the edges. The homes generally have a decent size and many have a garden, which makes the neighbourhood attractive for households with children.

The population composition confirms that picture: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and some of the households are families. At the same time, there is a large group of single-person households (620), indicating a varied mix of residents.
