Living in Presidentenbuurt, Rijswijk

Presidentenbuurt is a quiet, predominantly mature residential neighbourhood in the southern part of Rijswijk. The name already hints at the atmosphere: streets are named after heads of state and presidents, giving the neighbourhood a certain stylish naming. The streetscape is defined by homes from the 1950s and 1960s, with a mix of single-family homes, semi-detached houses and some multi-family homes in the higher segments. The buildings are not tall, the streets are wide and there is a reasonable amount of greenery, although it is not an outspoken park neighbourhood.

The residents are on average somewhat older: the largest age group consists of those aged 65 and over (235 of the approximately 810 residents). Single-person households are the most common household type. This is reflected in the atmosphere: it is quiet, most people know their immediate neighbours, but it is not a neighbourhood where many collective activities take place. The community score from residents is therefore on the low side at 5.0.

In terms of amenities, Presidentenbuurt is not overly endowed, and residents rate this honestly with a 3.0 for amenities. For daily shopping, you rely on the shopping area along Generaal Spoorlaan or the amenities towards the centre of Rijswijk, within cycling distance. Schools also score low in resident ratings (3.0), which is a point of attention for families with children. If you have children, it is advisable to research the school choice thoroughly in advance via the municipality of Rijswijk.

Accessibility is actually a strong point: residents give it a 9.0. Generaal Spoorlaan is the main traffic artery through the neighbourhood and connects quickly to the A4 and A12. Tram stops and bus connections to Den Haag Centraal are within a short cycling distance. The Hague is reachable within twenty minutes, and Delft and the region are also easily accessible. This convenience attracts a share of commuters.

Resident Benjamin has lived there for more than nine years and describes the neighbourhood as follows: "An interesting and nice neighbourhood, only the neighbours sometimes disappoint." He indicates that through traffic via Generaal Spoorlaan is a point of irritation: drivers who use the neighbourhood as the fastest route and fly through it like a cannonball. Otherwise, he is satisfied. That mix of satisfaction with minor annoyances fits a neighbourhood with an overall score of 6.7 based on resident reviews.

Who is a home in Presidentenbuurt interesting for?

Presidentenbuurt mainly appeals to movers and seniors looking for peace, a more spacious home and good accessibility to The Hague and surroundings. The high proportion of highly educated people (57%) and an average household income of €49,000, clearly above the municipal average, characterise the profile of the typical buyer here. First-time buyers may find the entry level with a minimum price around €225,000 achievable, but the average sale price of nearly €400,000 means that most homes fall in the middle segment or higher. If you want to be flexible, you can also look at rental homes in Presidentenbuurt as an intermediate solution. Keep in mind that supply is limited: only 25 homes were sold in the past year.
