Renting in Buitengebied Bergen: exclusive, scarce and almost entirely in the private sector
The rental market in Buitengebied Bergen is exceptionally small and notably exclusive. Of the 248 homes in this rural area, only 23% are rental properties, amounting to a handful of units. Social housing from a housing association is completely absent here: all rental properties fall under other landlords and are therefore in the private sector. This also explains the rental prices. Over the past twelve months, one property was rented in the private sector, for a rent of €4,000 per month, with an average size of no less than 1,100 m². These are not apartments; these are spacious rural homes. The WOZ value of €964,000 is nearly double the municipal average of €548,000 for Bergen (North Holland). For current rental prices and availability, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
Anyone looking for a rental home in Buitengebied Bergen must reckon with a very limited supply and high prices. Rental properties in Buitengebied Bergen rarely come onto the market and are generally intended for tenants with a generous budget. Social housing is not an option here. This makes this area fundamentally different from the rest of the municipality.
Rural living among the dunes: what residents say about Buitengebied Bergen
Buitengebied Bergen is not a neighbourhood in the traditional sense. There are no shopping streets, no corner cafés, and no school playground around the corner. What there is: space, silence, and a direct connection to the North Holland countryside. The residents, on average somewhat older with the largest group between 45 and 65, have consciously chosen this area. You can tell from the atmosphere. People live here because they want peace and quiet, not because it happened to be the cheapest option. Check out the neighbourhood page for Buitengebied Bergen for resident reviews and extensive neighbourhood data on liveability, safety, and amenities.
Residents appreciate the proximity of the dune area and the relative tranquillity, but are also honest about the downside: you are dependent on the car. Public transport is limited, and for daily shopping you quickly drive to Bergen Binnen, the village centre a few kilometres away. Those accustomed to urban amenities within walking distance will miss that here. That is not criticism of the neighbourhood, but an honest fact that comes with the choice.
The nearby coastal town Bergen aan Zee attracts a lot of summer crowds, but the rural area itself remains quiet all year round. Those considering looking further south can also compare the supply in Egmond aan Zee or the more rural Egmond-Binnen. The labour participation rate of 60% and the average income of €48,800, well above the municipal average, indicate that residents here are financially solid. It is an area that suits people who consciously choose space over convenience.
Renting in Buitengebied Bergen: who is it for, and who is it not for?
