Living in Wijk 02: an honest picture of a mixed neighbourhood
Wijk 02 comprises a patchwork of neighbourhoods each with their own character, from the historic Oud-Rijswijk with its village-like atmosphere around the Oude Kerk, to the Rembrandtkwartier and the Bomenbuurt where you mainly find post-war porch flats and terraced houses. You notice this variation in residents' experiences too. On the neighbourhood page of Wijk 02, the average resident rating is 6.4 out of 10, based on three reviews. That is not a high score, and the diverse experiences explain why.
Resident Marion calls it "a quiet neighbourhood close to shops and public transport, with plenty of play areas for children and lots of green spaces in and around the neighbourhood." Nik even gives a 9 and writes that it is easy to make contact with neighbours and that accessibility to The Hague and Rotterdam is excellent. But a very different sound is also heard: J. Hofte rates the Schilderswijk area in the neighbourhood a 3 and complains about nuisance, litter and antisocial behaviour. That contrast is characteristic. One street is quiet and green, a few hundred metres away it can feel messy and restless. That difference per neighbourhood is important to know as a buyer.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores reasonably. De Fontein primary school and Rijswijk secondary school are within walking or cycling distance, and the sub-score for education is the highest at 7.5. Daily shopping is done at Albert Heijn and Lidl on Bogaardplein, which is a few minutes' cycle away. Wilhelminapark and the greenery along the Vliet offer space for walking or sports. Accessibility is a strong point (7.7 from residents): Rijswijk station is on the edge of the neighbourhood with direct Sprinters to The Hague Central (6 minutes) and Rotterdam (20 minutes). Tram line 19 stops nearby and takes you to the centre of The Hague. By car, you are quickly on the A4 and A13. Less positive: the sub-scores for cleanliness (5.0) and safety (6.3) show that there is still room for improvement in those areas. Check the website of the municipality of Rijswijk for information on ongoing neighbourhood improvement projects.
For which buyers is Wijk 02 a good choice?
With an entry point around €229,000 for an apartment, buying a home in Wijk 02 is achievable for first-time buyers, especially compared to the more expensive neighbourhoods in Rijswijk. The large group of 25- to 45-year-olds (3,200 residents) and the high proportion of single-person households (2,635) confirm that picture. If you want to buy an apartment in Wijk 02, keep in mind additional costs: approximately 2% transfer tax, notary and valuation costs come on top. Movers looking for more space sometimes find larger family homes in the Havenkwartier or Welgelegen. Be honest with yourself: the neighbourhood has nice spots, but also less pleasant corners. Always walk through the street where you want to buy at different times. Not the right time to buy? Then check the rental homes in Wijk 02 as an alternative.

Very bad, impoverished neighbourhood, junkies, antisocial people who throw their rubbish on the street and in communal gardens instead of in the bins, foreigners from Poland, Turkey, Africa, etc. and more. Send all these people back where they came from. This neighbourhood is getting worse and worse. There are also stolen bikes here. Few parking spaces, but too many trees on the street. I don't dare walk the streets in the evening. Enforcement officers should actually check every day/evening.
