Living in Kern Binnen Noord, Noordwijk

Kern Binnen Noord is the northern part of the historic core of Noordwijk, a neighbourhood with a mixed character. You will find both older housing blocks from the post-war period and small-scale terraced houses, interspersed with some newer apartment complexes. The neighbourhood borders the village centre of Noordwijk aan Zee and therefore has a central location without the tourist bustle that characterises the beach area. It is a relatively quiet residential neighbourhood, recognisable by the broad mix of residents: from young workers to a large group of over-65s, who, with 670 people, form the largest age group. One-person households are the most common (520), making the neighbourhood attractive for singles considering renting in Kern Binnen Noord.

Facilities in the neighbourhood

The central location is one of Kern Binnen Noord's strongest assets. The village centre of Noordwijk, with supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo on the Hoofdstraat, is within walking distance. For daily groceries, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. There are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including schools on the edge of the core. Sporty residents can go to the various sports clubs in Noordwijk, including football and tennis clubs. The beach and dunes are reachable by bike within a few minutes, which also scores the neighbourhood well for recreation. The proximity of the Leiden Bulb District also offers green walking routes just outside the built-up area. Healthcare facilities, GPs and pharmacies are available in the core of Noordwijk.

By bike, the centre of Noordwijk is literally around the corner, and the coastline is a five to ten-minute bike ride. Parking in the neighbourhood is largely possible via a permit system, which is relevant in the summer months due to tourist pressure on parking spaces in the broader core.
