Homes for sale in Wijk 09, Rijswijk

House prices in Wijk 09: what do you pay for a home here?

Wijk 09 is a neighbourhood where renting clearly dominates: 62% of the housing stock consists of rental properties, most of which are owned by housing associations. Only 38% of the more than 4,000 homes are owner-occupied. This limited supply affects the market. The average WOZ value is €339,000, slightly below the municipal average of €346,000 for Rijswijk as a whole. However, actual transaction prices are significantly higher: over the past twelve months, 31 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €448,790. The range runs from €219,000 to €1,130,000, indicating that the supply is quite diverse. The average living area of sold homes was 96 m².

Living in Wijk 09: amenities, green spaces and a mixed neighbourhood

Wijk 09 is located in the southwestern part of Rijswijk and includes neighbourhoods such as Stervoorde, Eikelenburg and Hoekpolder. The neighbourhood has a mixed character: you will find families, elderly people (the largest age group is 65-plus with nearly 2,600 residents), students and singles. This mix is also noticeable on the streets. Residents on the Wijk 09 neighbourhood page give the area an average rating of 7.8 out of 10. Resident Imani describes it as a quiet neighbourhood with many different amenities, mentioning good waste separation facilities and the proximity of shops. Reviewer yassur is more enthusiastic: he calls the neighbourhood cosy and fun, especially for children, and writes that everyone is cheerful there. Not everyone is equally positive: reviewer Rison gives a 6.6 and points to the presence of many foreign students, which makes the atmosphere less quiet for some.

Accessibility scores remarkably high: residents give this a 9.2. That is justified. From Stervoorde, the Parijsplein shopping centre is within walking distance or reachable by tram. The tram connection towards Den Haag Centraal makes the neighbourhood attractive for commuters. Bus connections are also well represented. The Hague is reachable within twenty minutes, and via the A4 and A13, the neighbourhood is well connected to the rest of the region. Green spaces also score high (8.8): the neighbourhood has parks and green zones that make the living environment pleasant, even though the streetscape is not always well-maintained (cleanliness scores 6.6). For education, primary schools are available in and around the neighbourhood; secondary education can be found in the nearby centre of Rijswijk. Supermarkets and daily groceries are close by, partly thanks to the Parijsplein shopping centre.

Living in Wijk 09 is therefore practically well arranged, but the neighbourhood also has a down-to-earth character. Reviewer Desteny sums it up aptly: blunt but colourful, and better than Amsterdam. That says something about the expectations you should have: it is not a shiny new-build neighbourhood, but a functional, diverse area with good connections and sufficient amenities within walking distance.

For which buyers is Wijk 09 a realistic option?

Due to the limited supply of owner-occupied homes and the average transaction price of nearly €449,000, Wijk 09 is less suitable for first-time buyers with a small budget, unless you specifically look at the lower end of the market (homes have been sold from €219,000). Seniors looking to downsize and families who value accessibility and green spaces will find more opportunities here. When purchasing, take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers) and notary fees. If buying is not feasible now, there are also rental properties in Wijk 09 available, although the share of housing associations is large and waiting times for social housing are long.
