Living in Kleurenbuurt, Rijswijk

Kleurenbuurt is located in the southwestern part of Rijswijk and takes its name from streets named after colours, such as Geelstraat and Roodstraat. It is a quiet, predominantly low-rise neighbourhood largely built in the 1960s and 1970s. The buildings mainly consist of porch flats, terraced houses and a limited number of larger corner houses. The atmosphere is down-to-earth and functional, without the gloss of new-build neighbourhoods, but also without the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

What sets the neighbourhood apart is its greenery. Residents appreciate the presence of green strips, parks and playgrounds, which is also reflected in the green score: 8.5 out of 10. One reviewer describes Kleurenbuurt as "a beautiful green neighbourhood with secondary and primary schools", and this matches reality. Within the neighbourhood or a short bike ride away, there are several primary schools and a secondary school, making the area attractive for families with children. The education score is therefore 8.5.

For daily groceries, you rely on supermarkets in the immediate vicinity, including shops on the edge of the neighbourhood towards the centre of Rijswijk. The In de Bogaard shopping centre, one of the larger shopping centres in the region, is accessible by bike. Amenities score slightly lower (6.5), indicating that residents experience the neighbourhood itself as relatively modest in terms of shops and catering.

Accessibility is rated well (8.0). The neighbourhood has a direct bus connection to Rijswijk station, from where you can quickly reach Den Haag Centraal by train. The location is also favourable by car: the A4 and A13 are reachable within minutes. Cyclists can quickly get to the centre of Rijswijk or towards The Hague.

Safety and sense of community both score 8.5, which is high for an urban neighbourhood. The neighbourhood has a mixed population: relatively many over-65s and single-person households, but also an active group of families and young adults. This gives the neighbourhood a certain diversity without compromising its tranquillity.

Compared to neighbourhoods such as Stationskwartier or the Artiestenbuurt, Kleurenbuurt is somewhat less urban in character, but also quieter and greener. More neighbourhood information, resident reviews and district data can be found on the main neighbourhood page of Kleurenbuurt.
