Rental homes in Bergen Binnen, Bergen (Noord-Holland)

Renting in Bergen Binnen: a tight private sector with high property values

Of all homes in Bergen Binnen, 35% are rental properties, while 65% are owner-occupied. This makes the supply for tenants limited. Social housing accounts for 20% of the total stock, with the remaining 15% falling under private landlords. Over the past twelve months, only 3 homes were rented in the private sector (excluding social housing), with an average rent of €1,127 per month and a range of €635 to €2,000 per month at an average size of 67 m². These are annual averages. Check the current supply and current average rent at the top of this page.

The WOZ value in Bergen Binnen is €630,000, well above the municipal average of €548,000 for Bergen (North Holland). This says something about the character of the neighbourhood: this is not a cheap location. Anyone looking for a rental home in Bergen Binnen must reckon with limited choice and a fast-moving market. Considering an alternative? Then also check the supply of homes for sale in Bergen Binnen, because for some budgets buying here may be more realistic than renting in the private sector.

Bergen Binnen: a quiet, green neighbourhood where neighbours still know each other

Bergen Binnen is not an anonymous neighbourhood. Residents on the neighbourhood page of Bergen Binnen give the area an average of 8.4 out of 10, and that score feels fair. Bel writes succinctly but aptly: "Always cosy. Everyone helps each other and is loved." Steijn adds a 9.5 and mentions the friendly people, the proximity of amenities and the beautiful nature. Safety and accessibility both score 9.0, which is remarkably high for a neighbourhood outside the Randstad.

The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas, each with its own atmosphere. In the compact Bergen-Centrum you will find daily groceries, hospitality and some shops. Quieter residential areas such as Boschrand and Geest are a bit further from the centre but border on green areas and dune landscape. The municipality of Bergen is known for its location between forest, dunes and polder, and you notice that here too. Green scores 8.0 in resident reviews, which is solid for a residential neighbourhood in North Holland but not exceptional. Amenities score slightly lower at 7.5, which makes sense: for a larger range of shops or a hospital you have to rely on Alkmaar or Heerhugowaard.

The population of Bergen Binnen is ageing. The largest age group is 65-plus with over 4,500 residents out of a total of over 12,000. The group aged 25 to 45 is relatively small. This determines the atmosphere: quiet, well-maintained, little nuisance. But anyone looking for a vibrant social life with many peers under 40 will find this less obvious here than in a city.

Renting in Bergen Binnen: for whom is this the right choice, and for whom not?

Bergen Binnen attracts people who seek peace, nature and a close-knit living environment, and who are willing to pay for it. The average income is €45,300, higher than the municipal average of €41,700, and 41% of residents have a high level of education. Renting in Bergen Binnen is realistic for people with a middle income or higher who want flexible living, but the supply is thin. Social tenants depend on the housing association stock, for which waiting times apply. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Bergen Binnen with a smaller budget has little choice in the private sector. Young families or starters looking for a lively environment may be better suited to Egmond aan Zee or other parts of the municipality.
