Living in Wijk 11: green, quiet and easily accessible from the edge of the city

Wijk 11 is located on the southwestern edge of Rijswijk, bordering the countryside towards Delft. This gives the neighbourhood a character that residents describe as quiet without being remote. On the Wijk 11 neighbourhood page you can find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents particularly appreciate the relative peace, space and greenery in the immediate vicinity. A frequently mentioned point in the reviews is that the neighbourhood is pleasant for families with children, but that amenities sometimes require a bit of driving. That is an honest signal: if you are used to a lively shopping street within walking distance, you may need to adjust your expectations here.

For daily groceries, there is a supermarket accessible via Laan van Hoornwijck, and for a larger range of shops, the centre of Rijswijk or the Ypenburg district is a short bike ride away. Children in the neighbourhood can attend primary schools in the nearby area Kraayenburg, which directly borders Wijk 11. Vrijenban is also nearby and has a slightly more urban character for those seeking that. For sports, there are facilities via the sports complexes along Laan van Hoornwijck, with football and tennis clubs within reasonable cycling distance.

Accessibility is one of the stronger points of Wijk 11. Via the A4 and A13 motorways, you can quickly reach The Hague and Delft. By bus, both cities are accessible, although the frequency is more limited in the evenings. Rijswijk station is a few kilometres away and offers a direct train connection to The Hague Central in about ten minutes. For those commuting daily to The Hague or Delft, this provides an acceptable starting point, provided you are willing to take the bike or car to the station.

For which buyers is Wijk 11 a realistic option?

With average sale prices around €628,000, Wijk 11 is not a starter neighbourhood. The area mainly attracts movers and families seeking space and willing to pay for it. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, which accurately reflects the neighbourhood's profile. Supply is limited: seven transactions in a year means you need to act quickly when something becomes available. Overbidding is realistic in this segment. Don't forget additional costs: transfer tax (2% for non-starters), notary fees and any structural survey costs can add up quickly. If you are still unsure whether buying or renting is better, you can also look at rental homes in Wijk 11.
