Living in Wijk 03: quiet base with a business edge
Wijk 03 in Rijswijk includes the business park and office areas towards the A4 and Prinses Beatrixlaan, but also the residential neighbourhoods Broekpolder and Hoornwijck. Hoornwijck is a relatively young residential area developed around the turn of the century on former industrial land, with spacious plots, wide streets and a remarkably green streetscape. Broekpolder borders the polder and has a quieter character. Both neighbourhoods attract residents who seek space but still want to be close to The Hague.
On the neighbourhood page of Wijk 03 you will find resident reviews and neighbourhood data. Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space: "You almost live in the greenery here, but The Hague Central is a quarter of an hour away." Criticism often focuses on the limited range of amenities within walking distance. There is no classic shopping centre in the neighbourhood itself; for daily groceries you rely on supermarkets in adjacent neighbourhoods or the centre of Rijswijk. The same applies to schools: primary education is available nearby, but for secondary education you have to go elsewhere in the municipality or towards The Hague. For sports, there are opportunities in the recreational areas around Broekpolder, suitable for runners and cyclists.
Accessibility is one of the strongest assets. The A4 and A13 are a short distance away, making the neighbourhood attractive for commuters heading to Amsterdam, Rotterdam or The Hague. By bus (HTM lines towards The Hague) you can reach The Hague Central in about twenty minutes. Rijswijk station is within cycling distance and offers direct connections to The Hague and Delft. Those who want to compare with adjacent neighbourhoods can also look at the supply in Wijk 02 or Wijk 04, which show a different price level and type of home.
