Homes for sale in Eikelenburg, Rijswijk

House prices and market figures for Eikelenburg, Rijswijk

Eikelenburg is one of the most expensive neighbourhoods in Rijswijk, and the figures leave little doubt about that. The average WOZ value is €845,000, more than two and a half times the municipal average of €346,000 and also well above the district average of Wijk 09 (€339,000). That difference is no coincidence: Eikelenburg consists almost exclusively of owner-occupied homes. Only 2% of the 247 homes are rental properties, and there is not a single social housing unit to be found. Over the past twelve months, five homes changed hands, with an average purchase price of €1,015,500. Prices ranged from €940,000 to €1,130,000, with an average living area of 179 m². That works out at a price of around €5,675 per square metre. These are predominantly spacious detached and semi-detached houses. The current supply and average asking prices are shown at the top of this page.

Living in Eikelenburg, Rijswijk

Eikelenburg is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the south-west side of Rijswijk, nestled between the A4 motorway and the municipal border with The Hague. When you drive through it for the first time, you immediately notice how little traffic there is: wide streets, large plots, plenty of mature planting and hardly any through traffic. The neighbourhood consists largely of detached houses and semi-detached homes built in the 1970s and 1980s. The houses are solid, well-maintained and most have now been thoroughly renovated or extended. The character is that of a classic, established villa neighbourhood, without the hustle and bustle of an urban living environment.

With 860 residents and 247 homes, Eikelenburg is small and close-knit. The largest group of residents is between 0 and 15 years old (280 people), indicating that this is a real family neighbourhood. You can also see that in the layout: playground equipment in the streets, bicycles at the front doors, and a quiet but lively street scene during school hours. The labour participation rate is 79% and the average income is €65,600, which fits well with the house price level.

For daily groceries, the Albert Heijn on Haagweg or the In de Bogaard shopping centre in neighbouring Rijswijk city centre are the nearest options. Primary schools are within cycling distance, and there are several secondary schools in Rijswijk and The Hague. Wilhelminapark and Elsenburgerbos offer green space within walking distance. Sports clubs such as tennis club Rijswijk and football club RVVH are easily accessible by bike.

In terms of accessibility, Eikelenburg benefits from its location near the A4 and A13 motorways, providing quick access to The Hague, Delft and Rotterdam. Rijswijk station is about a ten-minute bike ride away, with direct connections to The Hague Central and Rotterdam Central. Bus line 23 runs through the area and connects the neighbourhood with the centre of Rijswijk and The Hague. For those who commute daily to the Randstad, the location is favourable.

Residents appreciate the peace, space and safety of the neighbourhood. On the Eikelenburg neighbourhood main page you can read all reviews and scores per category. One resident writes: "It's quiet here, the streets are tidy and the neighbours know each other. You live close to The Hague but don't feel it." Criticisms that come up are the limited shopping facilities directly in the neighbourhood and the sometimes busy A4 in the background. Compared to neighbouring districts such as Stervoorde and Hoekpolder, Eikelenburg is clearly the most expensive and most exclusive segment within Wijk 09.

Is a home for sale in Eikelenburg right for you as a buyer?

Eikelenburg is not a neighbourhood for first-time buyers. With an average purchase price of over a million euros and a narrow range between €940,000 and €1,130,000, the market is aimed at movers and established families with substantial equity. The homes are large (average 179 m²) and suitable for families looking for space and not wanting to compromise on peace and greenery. Supply is limited: only a handful of homes are sold each year, so anyone seriously looking to buy would do well to act quickly and go into viewings well prepared. Overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. For those who still want to explore the neighbourhood without buying immediately, there are also rental homes in Eikelenburg available, although that supply is very limited.
