House prices in Rodenrijs: well above the municipal average
Rodenrijs is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: as many as 90% of the 830 homes are owner-occupied, and rental properties are hardly found here. That ratio already says something about the character of the neighbourhood. The average WOZ value is €594,000, significantly higher than the municipal average of €479,000 in Lansingerland. That difference is also reflected in sale prices: over the past twelve months, 24 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €831,375. The range runs from €275,000 to €1,350,000, indicating that both modest terraced houses and spacious detached homes change hands. The supply consists mainly of single-family homes, often with a garden and garage. Current asking prices and the average time to sell can be found at the top of this page.
Anyone looking to buy a home in Rodenrijs must reckon with a market where demand regularly exceeds supply.

Rodenrijs: a quiet village with a strong sense of community, close to the city
Rodenrijs has something that many new-build neighbourhoods in the region lack: it feels like a real village. The historic core with the characteristic village church, the ribbon development along the Oudelandseweg and the green surroundings give the neighbourhood its own identity. On the neighbourhood page of Rodenrijs you can read what residents themselves think, including scores per category and detailed reviews. What comes through: people appreciate the peace, the space and the social cohesion. One resident puts it aptly: "You really still know your neighbours here, and the children play outside on the street. That is not a given in this region." Criticisms mainly focus on the limited shopping facilities in the core itself and the dependence on the car for larger groceries.
For daily groceries, residents rely on the supermarkets in nearby Bergschenhoek or the larger shopping centres in Bleiswijk. Primary schools are present in the neighbourhood, including the Koningin Julianaschool. For secondary education, children travel to Bergschenhoek or Bleiswijk. In terms of sports, Rodenrijs is well equipped: football club SV Robur is a fixture in village life, and the surrounding polders offer plenty of space for cycling and walking. The neighbourhood Vlinderstrik borders the green and is popular with families with young children, while Spoorhaven is more aimed at people who appreciate the proximity of the station.
In terms of accessibility, Rodenrijs is well situated. Station Rodenrijs is within walking distance of large parts of the neighbourhood and offers a direct connection via the RandstadRail to Rotterdam Centraal in about twenty minutes and to Den Haag Centraal in about forty minutes. By car, the A13 is quickly accessible, making both Rotterdam and The Hague within half an hour's drive. Bus connections provide links to Bergschenhoek and Bleiswijk. The municipality informs about local developments and accessibility projects via lansingerland.nl.
