Renting in Broekpolder: an owner-occupied district with scarce private-sector supply
Broekpolder is essentially an owner-occupied district. Of the 1,903 homes, 73% are owner-occupied, making rental properties in Broekpolder relatively scarce. About 25% of the housing stock is owned by a housing association, and only 1% falls under other landlords.

The range runs from €860 to €2,500 per month, with an average floor area of 152 m². These are annual averages in the private sector, excluding social housing. For current rents and available supply, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
The WOZ value in Broekpolder averages €506,000, well above the municipal average of €341,000 for Beverwijk. This price level reflects the character of the district: spacious homes, plenty of greenery, and a relatively affluent population with an average income of €43,100 compared to €36,100 in the rest of the municipality. Anyone looking for a rental home in this segment must reckon with limited choice and higher prices than elsewhere in Beverwijk.
Broekpolder: spacious, green and quiet, but not for everyone
Those who don't know Broekpolder might describe it as an average Beverwijk residential district. Those who live there know better. The district scores an 8.0 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident reviews, and that score is supported by two notably high marks: both housing and beauty receive a 10. That says something about how residents experience the quality of the homes and the appearance of the streets. The district looks well-maintained, the homes are predominantly spacious, and the public space is kept in good order.
Accessibility scores an 8, and that rings true in practice: Broekpolder is conveniently located relative to the A9, and Beverwijk station is within cycling distance. Education also receives an 8, fitting for a district where families with children form the largest household group. The community score of 7 suggests there is social cohesion, but it is not a district where everyone knows each other on the street. Safety scores a 6, which is the only real caveat in the reviews. One resident describes the district as pleasant and green but questions social safety in certain parts of the district after dark. That is honest feedback worth mentioning.
The district consists of several neighbourhoods, each with its own character. Waterwijk is the most striking neighbourhood, with homes along the water that partly explain the high WOZ value. Lanen is quieter in character and mainly attracts families. De Ladder Noord and adjacent De Ladder Zuid are also recognisable as family neighbourhoods.
