Rustenburg en Oostbroek

Rustenburg Oostbroek is a compact neighbourhood that is almost 100 years old. The northern part of the neighbourhood consists mostly of smaller three-story walk-up flats. It has several courtyards with different layouts surrounded by one- or two-story buildings, as well as an athletic field surrounded by schools.  The southern part of the neighbourhood has a more monumental structure, with smaller two- and three-story walk-up flats and a limited number of single-family homes. The neighbourhood is bordered by the Laakkanaal, which has moorings for houseboats. The Zuiderpark is just around the corner and offers plenty of sports facilities. It is an excellent place to barbecue, take a walk or ride bicycles.

There are several small supermarkets scattered around the neighbourhood, and in the Dierenselaan/Apeldoornselaan shopping area you can find a wide selection of specialty shops, as well as fashion and luxury retailers. For an even larger selection, you can visit the Haagse Markt in the adjacent Transvaalkwartier neighbourhood.

Rustenburg Oostbroek is located on the large Zuiderpark city park, where you can stroll, skate, cycle, swim in the swimming pool, picnic or barbecue with family and friends, or just relax on the lawn. The park is also home to Europe’s largest free music festival, Parkpop.

If you have a green thumb, but no garden to call your own, you can rent an allotment in the Zuiderpark allotment garden on the Anna Polakweg.
