Renting in Bangert en Oosterpolder: an owner-occupied neighbourhood with scarce private sector supply

Bangert en Oosterpolder is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 2,625 homes, only 18% are rental properties, the majority of which are owned by housing associations (11%). Private sector rental homes are therefore few and far between. Over the past twelve months, only 15 homes were rented out in the private sector, with an average rent of €2,000 per month and a range of €1,050 to €2,100 per month. The average floor area was 126 m², indicating that these are almost always spacious family homes, not small apartments. By comparison, the average WOZ value in the neighbourhood is €445,000, well above the Hoorn average of €333,000. This owner-occupied pressure also translates into higher rents.

Bangert en Oosterpolder: a new-build neighbourhood with a high rating and little hassle

Residents give the neighbourhood an 8.5 on Buurtje.nl, and if you look at the sub-scores, you understand why. Safety scores a perfect 10, and beauty and education in the area also score a 10. These are no small details. Bangert en Oosterpolder is a relatively young neighbourhood on the south side of Hoorn, largely built in the 2000s, with wide streets, plenty of greenery in the immediate vicinity and a quiet, orderly appearance. The neighbourhood clearly attracts families: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years old, 36% of residents are married, and households with children are the largest category. This is reflected in the atmosphere: it is not a bustling city neighbourhood here, but a place where people consciously choose peace and space.

Accessibility scores a 9, which is striking for a neighbourhood that is not directly adjacent to the centre of Hoorn. By car, the A7 is easily accessible, and the centre of Hoorn is a few minutes' drive away. Amenities score somewhat lower (6 out of 10), which is logical for a residential area without extensive shopping streets. For daily groceries, you rely on supermarkets in the area, but for a night out or a larger range of shops, you have to leave the neighbourhood. Community scores a 7, indicating that neighbours know each other but it is not a pronounced neighbourhood community. On the neighbourhood page of Bangert en Oosterpolder you can read the full resident experiences and see all sub-scores broken down.

The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas, each with its own character.
