The average WOZ value is €458,000, well above the neighbourhood average of De Elementen (€410,000) and significantly above the municipal average of Nissewaard as a whole (€279,000).

Living in De Haven, Nissewaard
De Haven is not an ordinary residential neighbourhood. The name says it all: this is a neighbourhood built around water, with a harbour character that you find in few other residential areas of Nissewaard. Think homes with water views, moorings for boats and an atmosphere somewhere between living and recreation. The neighbourhood is relatively small and compact, with around 930 residents spread over a limited number of homes. This gives a certain seclusion that residents appreciate.
The homes are predominantly spacious and detached or semi-detached, consistent with the average selling prices and the high proportion of families with children. The neighbourhood has relatively many families (190 households with children), which translates into a quiet, family-oriented dynamic. The labour participation rate of 82% and the average income of €49,300 are clearly above the municipal average, contributing to a well-maintained living environment.
In terms of amenities, De Haven relies on the wider Nissewaard area. The Stadshart Spijkenisse shopping centre, a few minutes' drive away, offers a full range of supermarkets, shops and eateries. For daily groceries, you can also go to the supermarkets along the Groene Kruisweg. Primary schools are available in the surrounding neighbourhoods, and several secondary schools are accessible in Spijkenisse. Sports clubs and recreational facilities can be found in the nearby neighbourhoods of De Elementen.
Accessibility is a strong point of De Haven. Heemraadlaan metro station and Spijkenisse station are a short distance away, allowing you to reach Rotterdam Central in about 25 minutes via the metro (line D). The connection to the A15 and A29 also makes car drivers quickly mobile towards Rotterdam, Dordrecht or the Hoeksche Waard. Cyclists can explore the area well via the regional cycle network.
Residents of De Haven speak about their neighbourhood with a certain pride, but also with realism. On the neighbourhood main page of De Haven you will find all reviews and neighbourhood data. One resident describes it as follows: "Living by the water gives a holiday feeling, but you have to like that it gets quiet here quickly in the evening." That is precisely the dichotomy that comes back: people looking for peace and water are in the right place here, those looking for liveliness and urban dynamics should look at neighbourhoods like Centrum or Vierambachten.
Compared to sister neighbourhoods within De Elementen, De Haven has a clear identity of its own. Het Land is greener and more family-oriented, while De Dijk has a slightly different housing mix. De Haven distinguishes itself by its harbour character and higher average property values.
For whom is a home for sale in De Haven the right choice?
De Haven best suits families and dual-income couples who consciously choose space, water and peace, and are willing to pay a higher price for it. With an average purchase price of over €600,000, this is not a starter neighbourhood. Starters who still want to live in the area should look at other neighbourhoods within De Elementen or elsewhere in Nissewaard. Keep in mind that supply is limited and homes sell quickly. Overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. Not sure if buying is the right time now? Then also check the rental properties in De Haven as a temporary alternative.
