Renting in Noordwijkerhout Buitengebied: scarce supply, spacious homes and high free-sector prices
Anyone looking for a rental home in Noordwijkerhout Buitengebied quickly encounters a striking fact: only 12% of the 649 homes are rental properties. The rest are owner-occupied, and there are no social housing units from a housing association here at all. The entire rental supply is in the free sector, from private landlords. That limited supply translates into hefty rents. Over the past twelve months, an average of 22 homes per year were rented out in the free sector, at an average rent of €1,611 per month. The range runs from €960 to €3,499 per month, with an average living area of no less than 364 m². These are annual averages for the free sector, excluding social housing. For the current state of supply and the average rent at this moment, see the overview at the top of this page.
By comparison, the average WOZ value of a home in Noordwijkerhout Buitengebied is €684,000, well above the municipal average of €488,000 for Noordwijk. That says something about the character of this area: it is not about compact city homes, but spacious houses on larger plots in a green, rural setting. Renting in Noordwijkerhout Buitengebied is therefore a conscious choice, not a budget option. Those looking for more affordable rental homes in Noordwijk can also look at rental homes in Noordwijk as a whole.
Living among the bulb fields: what residents say about Noordwijkerhout Buitengebied
Noordwijkerhout Buitengebied is not a neighbourhood with a shopping street, a station or a busy market. It is an area you choose because you want peace, space, and an environment that looks spectacular in spring when the bulb fields are in bloom. Residents on the neighbourhood page of Noordwijkerhout Buitengebied repeatedly emphasise the same thing: the quiet, the nature and the feeling of living in the countryside without being far from the coast. One resident writes that it feels like "living on holiday permanently, but for real". Another honestly mentions the downside: "You need a car for almost everything, from groceries to taking the kids to school."
The demographic composition matches that picture. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, followed by those aged 65 and over. Young families and twenty-somethings are clearly less represented here. It is an area that attracts those who have already taken a step in life and consciously choose space over urbanity. The average income of €44,400 per year, slightly above the municipal average, reflects that. Amenities such as schools, supermarkets and GPs are available in the nearby village centre, but not around the corner. The municipality of Noordwijk provides information via the municipal website about local services and permits that also apply to this rural area.
Within the rural area, there are clear sub-areas. Buitengebied Noordwijkerhout is the most rural and open. Those looking for a bit more structure can also look at Sancta Maria Noordwijkerhout, a sub-area with its own character. And along the Delfweg you will find a handful of homes on the border of the rural area and the built-up area. Accessibility by car is good, towards the A44, but those dependent on public transport will notice that the options here are limited.
Renting in Noordwijkerhout Buitengebied: who does it work for, and who not?
