Rental prices and market figures Buitengebied Noordwijkerhout, Noordwijk
Renting in Buitengebied Noordwijkerhout is a niche market. Of the 523 homes in this neighbourhood, only 13% are in the rental sector, amounting to around 68 homes. There is no housing association stock: all rental homes are owned by private or commercial landlords, so social housing is not available here. Rental prices in Buitengebied Noordwijkerhout are therefore entirely in the free sector.
Over the past 12 months, 22 free-sector rental homes were let, with an average rent of €1,611 per month (excluding social housing). The range runs from €960 to €3,499 per month, reflecting the wide diversity of property types. With an average surface area of 364 m², the price per m² works out at around €4.40 per month, relatively low due to the large, rural homes that predominate here.
The average WOZ value in this neighbourhood is €618,000, slightly lower than the district average for Noordwijkerhout Buitengebied (€684,000), but significantly higher than the municipal average for Noordwijk (€488,000). That says a lot about the nature of the housing stock: this is predominantly owner-occupied territory for higher incomes.

Living in Buitengebied Noordwijkerhout, Noordwijk
The rural area of Noordwijkerhout is not a neighbourhood in the traditional sense. You won't find apartment blocks or terraced houses here, but rather detached farmhouses, former agricultural dwellings, spacious villas and occasionally a converted barn along the bulb fields. The buildings are scattered across polder lanes and sandy paths that criss-cross the landscape of the Duin- en Bollenstreek. Anyone looking for an apartment to rent in Buitengebied Noordwijkerhout will be disappointed: the supply consists almost exclusively of spacious ground-based homes with plenty of outdoor space.
The atmosphere is rural and quiet. You live here among the bulb fields, with views over open polder and within cycling distance of the dunes. This attracts a specific audience: families seeking space, people consciously choosing peace and quiet away from the city, and sometimes expats who need a representative home in the region for a temporary period. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, and 42% of residents are married. That says something about the character of the neighbourhood: this is not a place for students or starters who want to be in the city quickly.
Facilities in and around Buitengebied Noordwijkerhout
The neighbourhood itself has hardly any facilities of its own, and that is a conscious choice for a lifestyle where you take the car for daily shopping. The village of Noordwijkerhout is a short distance away and offers a supermarket (Albert Heijn on Herenweg), primary schools, a GP practice and a limited range of shops. For more extensive shopping you drive to Noordwijk or Lisse. For sports, there are opportunities through local clubs in Noordwijkerhout, and the immediate area offers excellent possibilities for running, cycling and walking through the bulb fields and dune areas. Children attending secondary school are dependent on Noordwijkerhout or Lisse.
Accessibility of Buitengebied Noordwijkerhout
Public transport is limited. There are bus routes via Noordwijkerhout towards Leiden and Haarlem, but from the rural area itself, the walking distance to a bus stop is often considerable. The nearest train station is Sassenheim or Hillegom, both about 10 to 15 minutes by car. By car, you can quickly reach Leiden (about 20 minutes) via the N206 or Haarlem (about 25 minutes) via the N208. The connection to the A44 is easily accessible. Cycling is the daily choice for many residents for shorter distances, especially to Noordwijkerhout or Lisse. Parking is no problem at all: most homes have their own driveway or yard, and permits are not applicable here.
On the neighbourhood page of Buitengebied Noordwijkerhout you will find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space. One resident writes: "You really live out here, with views over the fields. But don't forget that you need the car for everything." That is precisely the honest caveat you should take into account. Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Sancta Maria Noordwijkerhout, which is more village-like in character with its own facilities, or Delfweg, which has a somewhat different location, this rural area offers the most space but also the least urban proximity.
