Important information about rental prices
Important information about rental prices
In Novum Rijswijk, you’ll find a diverse range of rental apartments in different sizes and layouts. Despite this variety, we use one uniform and affordable rental price for the majority of our homes.
To make this possible, we first determined the maximum rental price for each housing type based on the national WWS points system. This system determines what a home may cost at most, not what it must cost. We have deliberately chosen to lower the rents of almost all homes to the social housing threshold.
This ensures that:
- almost all homes within Novum Rijswijk fall under the social housing limit;
- we can offer an affordable, fair, and transparent housing selection;
- more home seekers can find a suitable and affordable place to live.

ABOUT MAGIS REAL ESTATE
Magis Real Estate is a nationwide property rental company with a clear mission: to create innovative housing concepts that are about more than just bricks and square meters. Driven by the belief that a building only truly has a future when people feel at home there, Magis develops, leases, and manages living environments throughout the Netherlands where community, sustainability, and a sense of well-being are at the heart of everything. At Magis, real estate is about more than just buildings. We develop, rent, and manage living communities where people feel happy. Because we develop for our own portfolio, we know exactly what we’re creating and, most importantly, for whom. That requires care, expertise, and commitment.

We listen, think along and continuously look for ways to improve living comfort. Whether it is sustainability, fast service or tenant events, the Magis team is always there for you. Because small things make a big difference when it comes to happiness at home. Our service technicians are therefore familiar faces: people who know our tenants and understand how important it is to feel at home in your own apartment. Their visit is not just a technical appointment but also an opportunity to share feedback on how we can together create an even better living environment. In short, the tenant is always at the center, and together with our residents we constantly look at what can be improved, what needs to change and how we can solve it collectively. We strive for a sustainable portfolio, but sustainability for us is not a goal in itself. It is a shared journey in which residents play an indispensable role.
Magis demonstrates what it stands for: transparency, involvement and collaboration.
