Broekpolder: a quiet family neighbourhood with a distinct character
Living in Broekpolder feels different from most other neighbourhoods in Beverwijk.

This is reflected in the streets: spacious plots, front gardens, playgrounds between the houses. It is a neighbourhood where children play outside and neighbours know each other. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, and the proportion of families with children is high. The labour participation rate of 77% and an average income of €43,100, well above the municipal average of €36,100, also say something about who lives here.
On the neighbourhood page of Broekpolder, residents give the neighbourhood an overall score of 8.0 out of 10. Housing and beauty score notably high, both a 10. Residents appreciate the quality of the homes and the well-maintained appearance of the streets. One reviewer writes that Broekpolder feels like a quiet enclave, neat and green, where you have little trouble from traffic or nuisance. Safety scores a lower 6.0, which may be related to its location on the edge of the municipality and limited social control in some sub-areas. The neighbourhood is divided into recognisable districts: De Ladder Noord and De Ladder Zuid are popular with families, while Waterwijk stands out for its watery setting with ponds and canals along the homes. De Lanen offers larger plots and somewhat more detached buildings.
In terms of amenities, Broekpolder is reasonably self-sufficient. There are primary schools in the neighbourhood itself, and for secondary education you can go to the centre of Beverwijk.

The Broekpolder recreation area offers walking and cycling opportunities directly from the neighbourhood. Accessibility scores an 8.0 from residents, and that is correct: Beverwijk station is a few minutes' cycle away, with direct train connections to Haarlem (about 20 minutes) and Amsterdam Central (about 35 minutes). Via the A9 you are quickly on the motorway towards Amsterdam or Alkmaar. Bus services provide local connections within the municipality.
