Renting in Egmond aan den Hoef: a tight private sector in a owner-occupied dominated neighbourhood
Anyone looking for a rental home in Egmond aan den Hoef quickly notices that the market here is limited. Of the 1,481 homes in the neighbourhood, only 25 percent are rental properties, and the majority of these are owned by a housing association (16%). The private sector is therefore small: only 8 percent of the housing stock falls under other landlords. You notice this in the supply. In the past year, one property was rented in the private sector, with a rent of 665 euros per month for a 41 m² apartment. These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing. For current rents and available properties, you can consult the overview at the top of this page. The WOZ value of homes in Egmond aan den Hoef averages 444,000 euros, which is clearly below the municipal average of Bergen (North Holland) of 548,000 euros. This indicates that Egmond aan den Hoef is relatively affordable within the municipality, although supply for renters remains scarce.
Egmond aan den Hoef: village tranquillity with dunes in the background
Egmond aan den Hoef is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its hustle and bustle or urban allure. It is a village that has its own pace, nestled between the North Holland dunes and the agricultural hinterland. The average resident is 45-plus, and this is reflected in the atmosphere: quiet, green, unhurried. Residents give the neighbourhood a 6.5 out of 10 on the neighbourhood page of Egmond aan den Hoef, where you can also read the full reviews and neighbourhood data. The green environment scores notably high with an 8, and housing itself also gets an 8. Residents clearly appreciate the tranquillity and proximity to nature. Accessibility scores a 7, which is reasonable for a village in this region.
Yet there are also caveats. The community score stands at a meagre 5, and amenities also score low with a 5. One resident describes the character of the neighbourhood as pleasant living but notes that you really need a car for daily shopping and social activities. There is little within walking distance. Safety gets a 6, which is not bad but not outstanding either. The beauty score of 6 suggests that the neighbourhood does not look neglected, but it does not appear particularly attractive compared to, for example, nearby Egmond aan Zee, which is known for its coastal character and tourist appeal.
Within Egmond aan den Hoef, there are several sub-areas, each with its own character. Slotplan is one of the residential areas in the village, while on the outskirts you find more scattered buildings, such as in Verspreide huizen Egmondermeer. The neighbourhood Wimmenum has an even more rural character. If you love space and greenery, you will find your place here. If you want supermarkets, restaurants and public transport on your doorstep, you will be disappointed.
