Living in Oud-Rijswijk, Rijswijk

Oud-Rijswijk is the historic core of Rijswijk, and you notice that as soon as you walk through it. Where other parts of Rijswijk consist of post-war expansion districts, Oud-Rijswijk has a village-like, small-scale character with narrow streets, old buildings and a certain individuality that you won't find in new-build neighbourhoods. The buildings largely date from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, supplemented by houses from the 1930s and 1940s. Think terraced houses, townhouses and smaller ground-floor homes, sometimes with a garden you wouldn't expect in the neighbourhood.

The centre of Oud-Rijswijk revolves around the Herenstraat and the area around the Oude Kerk. Here you'll find local shops, a few catering establishments and the familiar feel of a real village centre, just a stone's throw from the metropolitan dynamism of The Hague. For daily groceries, there are supermarkets in the immediate vicinity, and the In de Bogaard shopping centre in the adjacent part of Rijswijk is easily accessible. Primary schools and childcare are available in and around the neighbourhood, which is a practical advantage for young families.

In terms of accessibility, Oud-Rijswijk is well situated. With the tram (lines 1 and 6 of HTM) you can be in the centre of The Hague within ten to fifteen minutes. Rijswijk also has its own NS railway station, within cycling distance of the neighbourhood, with direct connections to The Hague Central and Delft. By car, the A4 motorway is quickly accessible, making the neighbourhood attractive for commuters heading to Amsterdam or Rotterdam.

Residents particularly appreciate the atmosphere and the location. On the neighbourhood page for Oud-Rijswijk you can find all reviews and neighbourhood scores per category. One resident describes it like this: "It feels like a village, but you have everything the city has to offer within easy reach. That's exactly why I've stayed living here." Criticisms that come up are parking pressure in the narrow streets and the limited supply on the owner-occupier market, which encourages overbidding.

Compared to sister neighbourhood Rembrandtkwartier, Oud-Rijswijk is more compact and historic in character. The Bomenbuurt offers more space and greenery, while Welgelegen has a quieter, residential profile. Anyone specifically looking for authentic Rijswijk will come closest to that feeling in Oud-Rijswijk. More about the broader context can be found on the page for owner-occupied homes in Wijk 02.

Who is a home for sale in Oud-Rijswijk interesting for?

The neighbourhood mainly attracts dual-income earners and families in the 25 to 45 age group, who form the largest group of residents. The village character and scale also appeal to seniors looking for something smaller with character. Starters find it harder to get in: with an average purchase price of over €514,000 and a lower end of €319,000, the entry threshold is high, and for popular homes, overbidding is more the rule than the exception. Those who want to be flexible or wait out the market can also look at rental homes in Oud-Rijswijk as a temporary alternative. Practical advice: engage a buying agent who knows the local market, because homes here sell quickly.
