Living in Kamphuizerpolder, Katwijk
Kamphuizerpolder is located in the Rijnsburg district, on the edge of the former bulb-growing village that has now been fully incorporated into the municipality of Katwijk. The neighbourhood is named after the polder on which it was built and has a predominantly rural and quiet character. It is not a busy urban neighbourhood, but a small-scale residential area with relatively much greenery, spacious plots and detached or semi-detached homes. The housing stock consists largely of spacious single-family homes, which also explains the high WOZ values and the large average rental areas. New-build apartments or porch flats are hardly found here.
The neighbourhood has about 245 residents, the largest group of which is between 45 and 65 years old. It is therefore a mature, stable neighbourhood, not a student area or starter zone. Single-person households form the largest category (60), but 45% of residents are married. The average income is €38,700 per year, slightly above the municipal average, and the labour participation rate is a healthy 68%. Highly educated people represent 35% of the population.
