Living in Egmond aan den Hoef, Bergen (North Holland)

Egmond aan den Hoef is the quiet sibling of the three Egmonds. Where Egmond aan Zee attracts tourists and Egmond-Binnen has a somewhat larger range of amenities, Egmond aan den Hoef is primarily a residential place for people who appreciate peace, space and greenery over urban liveliness. The neighbourhood has a distinctly rural character: ribbon development along the Hoeverweg and surrounding polder streets, surrounded by bulb fields and agricultural land towards the Egmondermeer. The buildings mostly date from the 1960s to 1980s, with detached houses and semi-detached houses on spacious plots. There is hardly any new construction, which gives the streetscape a consistent and quiet character.

Amenities are limited but present. There is a primary school in the village itself, and for daily groceries you can go to Egmond-Binnen a few minutes away by bike, where there is a supermarket and a few shops. For a wider range of shops, you drive to Alkmaar, about ten to fifteen minutes by car via the N512. For sports, there is volleyball club VEH and a football club active in the region. Children play in the streets, as traffic is limited in the residential streets.

Accessibility by car is reasonable: the connection to the N512 towards Alkmaar is quick. With public transport, it is a different story. There is a bus line via Egmond aan den Hoef, but the frequency is low and the nearest train station is Castricum, about eight kilometres away. Those without a car notice that this village is not called 'rural' for nothing. Residents give accessibility a 7.0, which for a village like this is actually not bad.

The total resident score comes out at 6.5 out of 10. Green scores highest with an 8.0, and housing also gets an 8.0, which is understandable given the spacious homes on large plots. Community and amenities score the lowest with a 5.0 each. One resident writes: "Lovely green and quiet, but you really have to love the countryside. Shopping or doing something always requires a trip." That sums up the neighbourhood well. Read all experiences on the neighbourhood page of Egmond aan den Hoef with all reviews and neighbourhood data.

Verspreide huizen Egmondermeer is even more rural and has virtually no amenities within walking distance. Those looking for more urbanity within the municipality would do better to look at Bergen Binnen or the neighbourhood page of Egmond aan den Hoef for a broader overview. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of municipality of Bergen (North Holland).

Who is a home in Egmond aan den Hoef interesting for?

Egmond aan den Hoef mainly appeals to movers and those aged 50 and over who consciously choose peace and space. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (705 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (630). First-time buyers find little that is affordable here: the entry price starts at around €300,000 and the average selling price of over €616,000 is well above what a first-time buyer can usually finance. Families with children enjoy living here because of the space and low traffic, but must take into account the limited local amenities and dependence on the car. Honestly: those who rely on public transport daily for work or school will find it more difficult here. Supply is also limited, with only 17 transactions in the past year, so overbidding or acting quickly may be necessary. Those considering renting instead of buying can explore the rental supply in the region as an alternative.
