The character of Rustenburg-Oostbroek
Rustenburg-Oostbroek is the pre-war exception in the predominantly post-war Escamp: a densely built, urban district with characterful 1920s–30s homes, up against the Regentesse and Transvaal quarters. Where the rest of Escamp is spacious and green, this is a genuine city district — compact, lively and with a relatively high share of owner-occupied homes.
It is a diverse, affordable district that, thanks to its location and character, is popular with first-time buyers and movers.
Location and surroundings
The district lies in the north of Escamp, up against the Transvaalkwartier, the Regentessekwartier and Moerwijk. Shopping streets such as the Apeldoornselaan and the Dierenselaan lie in or right by the district, and the inner city is within cycling distance.
Living and the property market
The housing consists mostly of 1920s–30s upper-floor and walk-up flats and upper and lower maisonettes. With well over half owner-occupied, the district is more accessible to buyers than the surrounding post-war areas, at an affordable price per square metre.
