Living in Mossenest Noord, Noordwijk
Mossenest Noord is a quiet, largely residential neighbourhood in the northern part of Noordwijkerhout, the more village-like side of the municipality of Noordwijk. The area has a predominantly post-war character with terraced houses, semi-detached homes and a limited number of apartments. The buildings mostly date from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by later expansions. It is not a neighbourhood with striking architecture or a pronounced urban profile, but rather a place where people live quietly and orderly, with a clear family orientation.
The largest age group consists of 45 to 65-year-olds, but families with children are also well represented: households with children form the largest household group. This is reflected in the atmosphere of the neighbourhood: playgrounds, bicycles at the front door, and a certain sense of community. One resident describes the area as “cosy” and writes: “There are always people willing to help you.” That image fits a neighbourhood where people know each other and do not live anonymously side by side.
