Living in Middengebied Zuid, Noordwijk

Middengebied Zuid is a quiet, green neighbourhood in the heart of Noordwijk Binnen, at some distance from the hustle and bustle of the coastal strip. The atmosphere is subdued and residential: wide streets, many detached and semi-detached houses, mostly built in the 1970s and 1980s, with occasional newer infill. The development is spacious, gardens are large, and there is little of the compactness found in more urban neighbourhoods. This also explains the high WOZ values and the relatively large rental homes that come onto the market here.
