Modern 4-Room Apartment on 21st Floor with City Views
Key Features
Upsides
- 21st floor location provides elevated city views and a sense of privacy above street level.
- New construction scheduled for 2025 means the apartment will have modern finishes, current building standards, and likely favorable energy efficiency.
- Three-bedroom layout within 103 square meters offers good space utilization for families or those needing a home office.
- Central location in Winkelcentrum In de Bogaard places daily shopping and amenities within immediate walking distance.
- The shared green inner garden creates a pleasant communal outdoor space that all residents can enjoy.
Downsides
- Parking is not included with the apartment and must be rented separately in a public garage, adding to ongoing monthly costs.
- The 21st floor location means complete dependence on elevators for daily access, which could be inconvenient during maintenance or outages.
- No energy label is currently available, making it impossible to compare the long-term energy costs with existing properties.
- The project is still under construction with 2025 completion, meaning buyers cannot view or inspect the actual finished apartment before purchase.
- Living in a shopping center location may involve exposure to noise and activity during business hours.
Description
Hof van Rijswijk represents a contemporary residential development situated in the dynamic and green city center of Rijswijk. This new construction project is currently in full progress, with completion anticipated in 2025. The development is located at the former site of the V&D department store within Winkelcentrum In de Bogaard, transforming a significant commercial space into a modern living environment.
The project comprises a total of 95 residential units, including 48 apartments distributed across two tower buildings named De Prins and De Prinses, along with 47 Hofwoningen (courtyard homes) in the low-rise section. All residences are arranged around a shared, enclosed green inner garden, creating a peaceful and communal atmosphere within the urban setting.
This particular apartment is located in one of the tower buildings and is situated on the 21st floor. The living area measures approximately 103 square meters, offering generous space for comfortable daily living. The apartment features a practical layout with four rooms in total, including three bedrooms, making it suitable for families, couples who require additional space for a home office, or individuals who appreciate roomy living quarters.
The bathroom is equipped with a shower, a double sink, and a toilet. Additionally, there is a separate toilet located elsewhere in the apartment for added convenience. These fixtures and fittings are characteristic of modern new-build standards.
Being positioned on the 21st floor, this apartment benefits from elevated views across the surrounding area. The listing explicitly mentions that the upper floors of the towers offer beautiful city apartments with fantastic views. Each residence in the project includes either a balcony or a terrace that overlooks the communal inner garden, and this apartment is no exception, providing an outdoor space for relaxation.
The Hof van Rijswijk project offers a range of housing types to accommodate various preferences and household compositions. The apartments in the towers come in different sizes, with the four-room apartments measuring around 100 square meters featuring spacious balconies or terraces. The Hofwoningen in the low-rise section range from 60 to 165 square meters, with ceiling heights reaching up to 3.80 meters. The split-level penthouses in this section measure between 120 and 172 square meters and include roof terraces of 27 to 37 square meters.
Parking facilities are available for residents, with spaces available for rent in the nearby P4 or P5 parking garages. It is important to note that parking is not included with the apartment purchase and must be arranged separately through a rental agreement.
The location in Winkelcentrum In de Bogaard provides direct access to a variety of shops, restaurants, and daily amenities. The city center setting combines urban convenience with the green character of the inner garden. Rijswijk itself is well-connected to surrounding municipalities and the broader Randstad region, making it a practical base for commuters.
As this is a new construction project, the energy performance characteristics will become available upon completion. New buildings in the Netherlands are subject to strict energy efficiency regulations, which typically result in favorable energy labels. The asking price is set at 590,000 euros, which is stated as vrij op naam, meaning this amount is free of additional buyer costs such as transfer tax and notary fees for the property transfer.
Potential buyers can visit the information center located at Bogaardplein 10 in Rijswijk during designated open afternoons held every odd week on Thursdays between 16:00 and 17:00 hours. The project website hofvanrijswijk.nl provides additional information about available units and the overall development plan.
The apartment on the 21st floor represents an opportunity to secure a new home in a centrally located development that combines modern residential standards with the convenience of city-center living. The elevated position, three-bedroom layout, and inclusion of outdoor space are key characteristics of this particular unit within the broader Hof van Rijswijk project.
