Buying a home in Stervoorde, Rijswijk.
Stervoorde is the older, quieter end of Rijswijk—tree-lined streets and solid postwar houses, the kind of neighborhood where families settle for the long haul. You're looking at terraced homes from the 1950s-70s mostly, well-maintained and reasonably priced compared to what you'd pay in The Hague proper. The train station is walkable, and there's real greenery here: you've got Rhododendron Park just beyond the edge, so dog-walkers and cyclists know this place well. It's the kind of spot where you recognize your neighbours without it feeling claustrophobic.

What does Stervoorde offer?
You're looking at a commuter's town that actually works: twelve minutes to The Hague, ten to Delft, straight by train or bike. The homes here are mostly post-war family housing—solid, practical, not fancy—with reasonable prices that reflect that. What keeps people is the direct access to those bigger cities plus green space around the Vliet and parks that locals genuinely use. The neighbourhood feels lived-in rather than polished, and your euros stretch further than they would across the border in The Hague.
