Living in Egmond aan den Hoef: dunes around the corner, but amenities require planning
Egmond aan den Hoef is a village with a distinct character. It lies nestled between the dunes and the agricultural polder landscape of the Egmondermeer, with the ruins of Slot op den Hoef as a landmark in the centre. On the neighbourhood page of Egmond aan den Hoef, residents give the village an average score of 6.5 out of 10. Green spaces score highest with an 8, and housing also gets an 8. That matches the picture: it is a green, spacious environment where you typically get more m² for a home than in the coastal towns. Community and amenities, however, both score a 5, and that is fair. One resident describes it aptly: it is quiet and green here, but for daily shopping you still have to take the car.
In the village itself, basic infrastructure is present: there is a primary school, a small supermarket and a few local shops, but for a wider range of shops, sports facilities or specialised amenities, you quickly look towards Alkmaar or Bergen. Accessibility by car is reasonable via the N512 towards Alkmaar, about ten to fifteen minutes away. Public transport is limited: there are bus services towards Alkmaar and the coast, but there is no train station in the immediate vicinity. Cyclists can reach Egmond aan Zee via the dune routes in a quarter of an hour, and Egmond-Binnen is an even shorter bike ride away. Safety scores a 6, which is not alarming for a village of this size but is not outstanding either.
The neighbourhood Slotplan is a quiet residential area within Egmond aan den Hoef, while Verspreide huizen Egmondermeer has a more rural character with larger plots. Those who prefer to live in a village with more amenities can also look at Bergen Binnen or the rural area of Bergen. The municipality of Bergen actively pursues policies on housing and liveability; more information can be found on the website of the municipality of Bergen.
