For current asking prices and the current supply, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
The difference between the WOZ value and the realised selling prices shows that the market in De Zilk is active. Anyone looking for a home to buy in this village must take into account prices that can be significantly above the valuation. By way of comparison: in adjacent neighbourhoods such as Noordwijk Zee or Noordwijk Binnen, price levels are generally higher due to the proximity of the coast and the centre.
Living in De Zilk: peace, dunes and a close-knit village community
De Zilk is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its bustle or extensive shopping facilities. It is a small village, nestled between the bulb fields and the dunes of the South Holland coast, with a character of its own that you will not find in the larger centres of Noordwijk. Residents give the neighbourhood a 7.4 on the De Zilk neighbourhood page, where you can also find all sub-scores and resident reviews. Safety (10.0) and green space (9.0) score notably high. That matches the picture: the dunes are literally around the corner, it is quiet on the streets and you know your neighbours.
Rachel, a resident, describes it aptly: everyone knows each other, everyone is friendly. That social aspect, that small community, is exactly what attracts many people here. At the same time, she is honest about the downside: there are few facilities for young people. And that is a real point. De Zilk has a primary school and a sports club, but for secondary education, a supermarket or a GP you have to go to Noordwijk-Binnen or Lisse. The accessibility score of 6.0 fits that. There is a bus line towards Lisse and Noordwijk, but there is no train station. By car, via the N206 you are quickly on the A44, after which Leiden is reachable in about twenty minutes and Haarlem in half an hour. Anyone who wants to travel by public transport daily should take that into account.
The rural area around the village offers extra space for those looking for more land. Also check the supply in Buitengebied De Zilk for detached homes with more plot. Community scores an 8.0 and that is no coincidence: local associations, the neighbourhood school and the shared dune edge create connection. The municipality facilitates this through its counters and initiatives; more information can be found on the website of the municipality of Noordwijk.
For which buyers is De Zilk a good choice?
Living in De Zilk best suits families and middle-aged people who value peace and space over urban hustle and bustle. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and 46% of households are married. First-time buyers will find it difficult: with an average selling price of almost €692,000, a home to buy in De Zilk is hard to reach without equity or own funds. Also do not forget the additional costs: transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers), notary fees and possible estate agent fees come on top of that. Those who want more flexibility or want to wait and see the market can also look at rental homes in De Zilk as an alternative.
