Renting in Santpoort-Noord: a tight private sector with high prices
Santpoort-Noord has traditionally been an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the more than 3,265 homes, only 24% are rented out, half of which are through a housing association. This means that the private sector supply is limited. Over the past year, only 7 private sector homes were rented out, with an average rent of €1,986 per month and a range of €1,875 to €2,375 per month. The average floor area was 119m², indicating that these are generally spacious family homes, not small apartments. By comparison, the average WOZ value in Santpoort-Noord is €533,000, compared to €393,000 for the municipality of Velsen as a whole. This price difference is also reflected in the rental prices. For the current supply and average rent, you can consult the overview at the top of this page. Note: these figures are for the private sector, excluding social housing.
Green, quiet and family-oriented: living in Santpoort-Noord
Those looking for rental homes in Santpoort-Noord are choosing a neighbourhood with a very distinct character. Santpoort-Noord does not feel like an average Randstad neighbourhood. The area borders the dunes and the Zuid-Kennemerland National Park, and you notice that every day. Residents on the Santpoort-Noord neighbourhood page rate the neighbourhood an 8.2 out of 10, with a perfect score of 10 for both accessibility and green space. Noa describes the neighbourhood as "quiet, little nuisance, but very cosy" and mentions that there are many shops within walking distance. That's right: along the Hoofdstraat and in the village centre of Santpoort-Dorp, you'll find daily amenities without having to take the car.
The neighbourhood also scores well on safety (8.0) and beauty (8.0), which fits the image of a well-maintained, quiet living environment. The community scores a 7.0, indicating that social contact exists, but it is not a neighbourhood where everyone knows each other like in a small village. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, followed by those aged 65 and over. This gives the neighbourhood a mature, quiet character. Young families also live here, but Santpoort-Noord does not have the dynamism of a young, vibrant area.
The neighbourhood consists of several districts, each with its own atmosphere. The Duinenbuurt is closest to the greenery and is popular with people seeking nature. In the Santhaesbuurt and the Kerkpadbuurt, you'll find quieter residential streets with predominantly owner-occupied homes, but occasionally a rental property becomes available. Renting in Santpoort-Noord therefore means: keeping a close eye on when something becomes available, because supply is scarce. More information about the neighbourhood, resident reviews and neighbourhood data can be found on the Santpoort-Noord overview page. The municipality of Velsen also offers practical information about living in the region via velsen.nl.
Renting in Santpoort-Noord: who is this realistic for?
Given the private sector rental prices, which average around €2,000 per month, a rental home in Santpoort-Noord is mainly for households with a solid income.

For starters or people with a lower budget, renting a home in Santpoort-Noord is financially difficult to achieve. Those considering staying here can also look at owner-occupied homes in Santpoort-Noord, although prices there are not low either. Families looking for space, greenery and peace and willing to pay for it are the best fit for this neighbourhood.
