Living in Haantje, Rijswijk

Haantje is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the south side of Rijswijk, directly bordering the rural area towards Delft. The neighbourhood has a suburban character: spacious plots, plenty of greenery between the houses, little traffic on the residential streets. The housing stock mainly consists of detached homes and semi-detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s, with occasional newer infills. Terraced houses exist but are in the minority. This also explains the high average sale prices and the spacious living area.

The neighbourhood particularly attracts families with children, the largest household group, and young to middle-aged dual-income couples. The average income level of €50,800 is clearly above the Rijswijk average of €40,300, and the labour participation rate is high at 82%. This characterises Haantje's profile: a neighbourhood for people who consciously choose peace and space, but want to retain the urban proximity of The Hague.

In terms of amenities, Haantje is compact but functional. For daily groceries, there are shops within a short cycling distance, and residents rate the shopping options in the area positively. There is a small neighbourhood centre regularly used for activities, which contributes to the sense of community. Education scores notably high in resident reviews, with a perfect score of 10 out of 10, indicating a good supply of primary schools in the immediate vicinity. Green space also scores 8.5: the neighbourhood has a park, although this is also a point of attention (see below).

Accessibility is reasonable, with a score of 7.5 from residents. Rijswijk has its own NS railway station a few minutes' cycle away, with direct connections to The Hague Central (approx. 7 minutes) and Delft. By car, the A4 and A13 motorways are quickly reachable. The neighbourhood is thus well positioned for commuters heading to The Hague, Rotterdam or Amsterdam. Public transport within the neighbourhood itself is more limited, making the car or bicycle almost indispensable for local travel.

Residents give Haantje an overall score of 8.0 out of 10. Corrie, a resident, describes it as a mixed neighbourhood: "From young families, elderly people and even a number of people with disabilities. This feels pleasant." She also mentions a downside: dealers who are regularly active in the park. That is an honest signal that the neighbourhood, despite the high house prices, is not free from social issues. Safety scores 8.0, which is good but leaves room for improvement. View all reviews and neighbourhood data on the Haantje neighbourhood page.

Compared to sister neighbourhoods in Wijk 10, Haantje has a slightly lower WOZ level than the district average, but a similar residential character. Sion and Elsenburg are alternatives within the same district if you are looking for a slightly different type of home or price level. Pasgeld is also worth comparing.

Does a home in Haantje suit you as a buyer?

Haantje is most suitable for families seeking space, wanting a garden and valuing a quiet, green living environment with good schools nearby. The average sale price of over €878,000 makes this not a neighbourhood for first-time buyers, unless you are looking at the lower end of the market (homes have been sold from €409,000). Movers-up and dual-income couples with a solid income feel most at home here. Keep in mind that supply is limited: on average only 22 homes are sold per year, meaning you need to act quickly when something becomes available. Overbidding is realistic in this segment.
