The average WOZ value in Noord is €331,000, well below the municipal average of €398,000. This reflects the housing mix: many housing association homes, modest owner-occupied houses, and a limited private-sector supply.

Noord: a quiet family district with a strong social fabric
Noord is not a district that stands out for spectacle, and that is precisely what many residents appreciate about it. On the district page for Noord, residents give the district a 7.7 out of 10, with notably high scores for accessibility (8.7), safety (8.3), and green spaces (8.2). Beauty scores the lowest at 6.5, which aligns with the image of a functional district without architectural highlights.
Resident MD describes it aptly: "Very social and everyone looks out for each other when needed. Really a nice, quiet neighbourhood. Shops, schools, green spaces, and playgrounds nearby." This image is echoed by Arwin, who moved to Orthen from a difficult situation: "Everyone is so friendly, and the silence and peace I experience are very pleasant." Leny has lived there since 2017 and simply reports: "I live there comfortably, no problems." Paul Niewold, active in neighbourhood committees for 25 years, emphasises how the district has changed positively over the years, partly thanks to a broad network of associations. This active community life gives Noord a character that goes beyond just living.
Noord consists of diverse neighbourhoods, each with its own atmosphere. Orthen and De Rompert are well-known residential areas with a green character, while De Hambaken has a more urban profile. For more specific searches, you can also look at the supply in De Edelstenenbuurt or the quieter De Haren. Accessibility scores high, which is logical given its location north of the city centre with good bus connections to the inner city. Amenities such as shops, schools, and recreational areas are within walking distance for most residents, as the reviews also show. The municipality of Den Bosch provides more information about facilities and district policy in Noord via its official website.
Noord is suitable for renters seeking peace, but less so for those who prioritise looks
Noord mainly attracts families, first-time buyers, and residents who value a social, safe environment with sufficient green spaces and basic amenities nearby. The large group of 25- to 45-year-olds (5,530 residents) and the high number of single-person households (4,110) show that the district appeals to both singles and young families. For those looking for a representative or visually appealing district, Noord may be less obvious: the score for beauty lags behind. Those considering renting in Noord but unsure can also compare with the Binnenstad, Graafsepoort, or Muntel / Vliert.

Auto-translated to English by AIVery social and everyone takes care of each other when needed. Really a nice quiet neighbourhood. Shops and schools and green spaces and playgrounds nearby. Good dog walking spots close by. And so safe and cosy to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AII have been active in various neighbourhood committees for about 25 years and therefore know quite well how the neighbourhood functions. Especially how the neighbourhood has changed over the years (positively), with the diversity of various associations playing a major role.
Auto-translated to English by AII moved to Orthen from a bad home situation and I feel like a world is opening up for me! Everyone is so friendly and the silence and peace I experience is super pleasant.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe have been living here for 2.5 years now and are very happy that we made the choice to move here. It is a nice, quiet and safe neighbourhood. The only thing that bothers us occasionally is that not everyone cleans up their rubbish/mess, but that could also be people who don't live here. Some people drive very fast on a road where the speed limit is 30 km/h.
