Living in Auteursbuurt, Noordwijk

Auteursbuurt is located in the heart of Noordwijk aan Zee and takes its name from streets named after famous Dutch writers and poets, such as Bilderdijkstraat and Tollensstraat. This gives the neighbourhood a recognisable, quiet character that differs somewhat from the more touristy atmosphere along the boulevard. The buildings largely consist of houses from the 1950s and 1960s: compact terraced houses and semi-detached houses with small front and back gardens. It is an ordinary residential neighbourhood, not the most striking, but one that residents apparently like very much.

Resident Wouter has lived there since he was eight and writes: "Nice neighbourhood, plenty to do and nice neighbours. Always nice to live near the beach and close to various shops and restaurants. In short, a nice neighbourhood with many location advantages." That location is indeed a strong point. The beach and dunes are within walking distance, and the shopping street of Noordwijk aan Zee with supermarkets, bakeries and restaurants is just around the corner. You don't need to take the car for daily shopping. There are also volunteer activities in the neighbourhood: another resident volunteers at Museum Noordwijk, which is a short distance away.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores a 7.5 from residents. Noordwijk does not have a train station; the nearest stations are Leiden Centraal and Sassenheim, both about 15 to 20 minutes away by car. Bus line 57 connects Noordwijk to Leiden and runs regularly. By car, the N206 is the main arterial road towards Leiden and the A44. For cyclists, the area is pleasant: the dune paths and coastal routes are directly accessible. Parking in the neighbourhood itself is usually not a big problem, unlike the busier areas around the Boulevard.

The resident score for Auteursbuurt is 8.2 out of 10. Residents particularly appreciate the safety (9.5), greenery (9.5) and education (9.0). The beauty of the neighbourhood receives a lower rating (5.5), which is recognisable for a neighbourhood with somewhat older street paving and austere architecture from the post-war reconstruction period. Compared to neighbouring areas such as Kern Zee or the Zeeheldenbuurt, Auteursbuurt has less of a touristy appearance but is all the more a real residential neighbourhood.

Is a home in Auteursbuurt right for you?

The neighbourhood attracts a mixed population: the largest group is 45 to 65 years old, but there are also relatively many young adults (15-25) and single-person households (330 of the 577 homes). This makes Auteursbuurt interesting for movers and seniors who want to live close to the beach and amenities, but also for singles looking for an affordable entry point in Noordwijk aan Zee. For first-time buyers, the price level is not low: the cheapest home sold in the past year was €375,000. Overbidding occurs, especially for well-maintained homes. Supply is limited, with 12 transactions in a year, the turnaround time is sometimes short. If you need more time to decide, you can also look at rental homes in Auteursbuurt as a temporary option. If you want to compare with a different price range, also look at De Zuid or Dobbelmannduin.
