Living in Hoornwijck, Rijswijk
Hoornwijck is a small, quiet neighbourhood on the edge of Rijswijk, directly bordering the open landscape towards Schipluiden and the Broekpolder. With only 145 residents and 64 homes, it feels more like a secluded residential enclave than an urban district. The housing stock consists largely of detached and semi-detached homes with spacious plots, which explains the high WOZ values. The homes mostly date from the 1970s and 1980s, but in many cases have been thoroughly renovated or extended.
The neighbourhood has a green, rural character. To the west, Hoornwijck borders the Broekpolder, a large recreational area with walking and cycling paths, water features and space for outdoor activities. This makes Hoornwijck attractive for people seeking peace and space without living far from the city. The neighbourhood itself has no shopping centre or supermarket within walking distance, but via the Prinses Beatrixlaan and the Haagweg you quickly reach the amenities in the centre of Rijswijk, including the In de Bogaard shopping centre.
In terms of accessibility, Hoornwijck is reasonably well connected by car: the A4 and A13 motorways are reachable within minutes, providing quick connections to The Hague, Delft and Rotterdam. By bike, you can reach the centre of Rijswijk or Rijswijk station in ten to fifteen minutes, from where you can take the train to The Hague Central Station. Bus services are available but limited in frequency, so having your own transport is practically indispensable.
The age structure of the neighbourhood is striking: the largest group of residents is aged 45 to 65 (50 people), followed by 25-45 year olds (35) and those over 65 (35). Young people under 25 are relatively scarce. This fits the picture of an established, stable neighbourhood where people stay for a long time. Single-person households are the most common (40), but 41% of residents are married, indicating a mix of singles and families in the middle and older stages of life.
Residents appreciate the peace, space and proximity to green areas. One resident describes it as: "You live here away from the hustle and bustle, but you're there quickly if you need something. The Broekpolder is literally around the corner." Less positive are some residents about the limited walking distance to daily amenities and the relatively quiet social dynamics in the neighbourhood.

Compared to the rest of Wijk 03, Hoornwijck is smaller and more selective in character. The Broekpolder offers a similar green living environment but has a different type of housing. If you are considering buying in Rijswijk, it is worth exploring other districts via the overview of homes for sale in Rijswijk.
Is a home in Hoornwijck right for you?
Hoornwijck is most suitable for movers and people in the 45-plus phase who consciously choose space, peace and a green environment. The large homes and high prices make it less accessible for first-time buyers or those with a limited budget. With an average transaction price of €554,480 and homes up to nearly one million euros, this is not a market for a first home. Moreover, supply is limited: homes rarely come on the market, and when they do, they sell quickly. Overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. If you want to be more flexible, you could also look at rental properties in Hoornwijck as an intermediate solution, although that supply is also scarce. Buying an apartment in Hoornwijck is practically not an option: the neighbourhood consists almost exclusively of ground-based homes.
