Boerenburg Oost is a predominantly quiet residential neighbourhood on the eastern side of Noordwijk Binnen, with a mixed character of post-war terraced houses, detached homes, and a limited number of multi-family dwellings. The buildings largely date from the 1960s and 1970s, with occasional later additions.
