Details of this home
Insure your home and belongingsGet insuredAbout Ottoburgstraat 16, Rijswijk (Zh)
The asking price of €769,500 is 45% above the neighbourhood average of €530,808. However, this home is also 25% larger than the average (139 m² vs 111 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €5,535, which is above the neighbourhood average of €5,013. Given the size and the fact that it is a terraced house in a sought-after pre-war area, the price is on the high side but reflects the larger floor area.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating and electricity bills compared to a modern home. The neighbourhood has 74% of homes with label D or lower, so this is common for pre-war properties. Improvements like insulation, double glazing or a new heating system could reduce costs, but the label itself does not give exact amounts.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride.
Primary schools within walking distance include KC de Telescoop (1.5 km) and the Protestant Christian Groen van Prinsterer school (1.6 km). For secondary education, Gymnasium Novum is about 2.6 km away. All are within a reasonable distance for daily school runs.

How residents experience their district
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.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood close to shops and public transport, plenty of play areas for children. Lots of greenery in and around the neighbourhood.

How residents experience their municipality
It's so clean and Kessler Park is also so relaxing, I never want to move again.
Auto-translated to English by AII live there pleasantly and quietly
Auto-translated to English by AII am very happy with where I live. Easily accessible and shops nearby. But it is very safe here. I see too often messages that someone has been stabbed or beaten up.

Auto-translated to English by AII have lived here for over 9 years, and I like the neighbourhood. It could be better, of course, because there are many "smart alecks" who cut across the Generaal Spoorlaan, and who fly through the neighbourhood like a cannonball. Other than that, it's okay, and I'm satisfied here.
