Living in Boulevard, Noordwijk

Boulevard is exactly what the name suggests: the neighbourhood directly along the Noordwijk seafront boulevard, from Koningin Wilhelmina Boulevard to Koningin Astrid Boulevard. It is a neighbourhood where you literally see the beach from your window. The buildings consist mainly of apartment complexes, some from the 1960s and 1970s, some newer. Detached houses are rare here. Many properties have a dual function: hospitality or shops on the ground floor, homes above. This gives the neighbourhood a lively, sometimes busy atmosphere during the day and in the high season.

In terms of amenities, you are well catered for on Boulevard itself. Along the coast you will find restaurants, beach pavilions and terraces. For daily groceries, head towards the centre of Noordwijk aan Zee, where you will find an Albert Heijn and various specialist shops. Hoofdstraat, a few minutes' walk away, offers shops and a pharmacy. For schools, families need to look a bit further, for example towards Kern Zee or De Zuid, where primary schools such as De Prinsenhof are located. GP practices and a health centre can also be found in the centre.

Accessibility is reasonable but not excellent. Noordwijk does not have its own train station. The nearest stations are Voorhout and Leiden Centraal, accessible via bus line 57 (Arriva). By car, you can reach the A44 towards Amsterdam or The Hague via the N206 in about 20 minutes. Parking on Boulevard itself is a point of attention: in the season it is very busy and paid parking is the norm. Many apartment complexes do not have their own parking space, so be sure to inquire about this. More information about parking permits can be found on the website of the municipality of Noordwijk.

The population composition is striking: almost half of the residents are 65-plus and the majority live alone. This makes Boulevard a quiet residential neighbourhood outside the tourist season. The average income of €48,700 is above the municipal average and 64% of residents are highly educated. On the neighbourhood page of Boulevard you can read what residents themselves think. A recurring theme in reviews is the combination of peace and bustle: "In winter you have the beach almost to yourself, in summer it is a different story with the tourists." Residents appreciate the direct location by the sea, but mention the crowds in the high season and the lack of parking space as downsides. If you compare Boulevard with neighbouring areas such as Dobbelmannduin or Zeeheldenbuurt, you clearly pay more here, but you also get the most direct beach location in return.

Is a home for sale in Boulevard right for you?

Buying a home in Boulevard is mainly interesting for movers and seniors who are willing to invest heavily in a unique location. The high prices and the predominance of apartments make it less suitable for first-time buyers or young families. If you are looking for more space or a garden, take a look at Auteursbuurt or Prinsessenbuurt. Keep in mind that overbidding in this neighbourhood is not uncommon, especially for homes with sea views. The supply changes quickly and is limited. If you prefer to rent, you can visit the page with rental homes in Boulevard, although here too the supply is tight and pricey.
