Dunes, tranquillity and a resident average of 8.9: living in Bloemendaal
Bloemendaal is no ordinary residential area. The village is nestled between the Kennemer dunes and the busy A9, but once you live there, you notice little of that bustle. The atmosphere is quiet, green and quite secluded. Residents on the Bloemendaal neighbourhood page give the area an impressive average of 8.9 out of 10. Safety and greenery both score 9.5, which for many residents describes the core of living pleasure here. Someone writes that you can walk here carefree in the evenings and that nature literally begins around the corner. That is true: access to the dunes and the Zuid-Kennemerland National Park is within walking distance from large parts of the village.
Accessibility scores a 9.0, and that deserves some nuance. Bloemendaal does not have its own train station, but via Overveen or Haarlem you quickly get on the rails. Bus connections are rated as good by residents, although a car is handy for many daily errands. Amenities score an 8.0, which is fair: for larger supermarkets and more extensive shops, you quickly head to Haarlem. Within the neighbourhood, in the districts Veen en Duin and Duinlustpark, you will find a mix of detached homes and smaller rental apartments, each with its own character. Education scores an 8.0, which is reasonable for a village of this size. Schools are present, but secondary education is largely sought in Haarlem.
The population composition is striking: the largest group of residents is 65-plus (over 2,100 of the 6,800 residents), followed by the 45-65 age group. You notice that in the atmosphere. It is not an area where you encounter many student houses or busy pubs. The community feels close-knit and scores a 9.0 among residents. Those who love tranquillity, space and a neat environment quickly feel at home here. For more resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data, you can visit the Bloemendaal neighbourhood page.
Renting in Bloemendaal: who does this suit, and who not?
