The sales market in Holy Noord is significantly above the Vlaardingen average. The average WOZ value here is €319,000, while in the rest of Vlaardingen it is €278,000.

In the past twelve months, 48 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €544,708, with a range from €245,000 to €1,195,000.

Living in Holy Noord: green, quiet, but with two faces
Holy Noord scores a 7.0 from residents on Buurtje.nl, and that score actually tells the story of this district exactly: it is mostly fine, but it depends heavily on which part you live in. Education receives a remarkably high 8.3, while the beauty of the district is rated lowest at 5.3. Resident Mrs A describes her experience as "child-friendly, social, lots of nature and clean" and gives a 9.4. At the same time, Irma writes: "Used to be a beautiful district with people who were proud of their home and garden. Now only neglect." She also warns that you'd better stay away from the park in the evening. That contrast is typical: around Park Holy Noord and the green zones it is lovely for walking during the day, but social control varies per neighbourhood.
In terms of amenities, you are reasonably well off in Holy Noord. On Claudius Civilislaan you will find an Albert Heijn and various small shops. For a larger shopping centre you go to the Vlaardingen city centre or the nearby centre of Vlaardingen. There are several primary schools in the district, including De Schakel and Het Visnet, which explains the high education score. Sports club VFC Vlaardingen is nearby, and swimming pool De Kulk is within cycling distance. Accessibility is decent: with bus line 56 you are at metro station Vlaardingen-West within a quarter of an hour, from where you can reach Rotterdam Central in about twenty minutes. By car, you quickly join the A20 motorway towards The Hague or Rotterdam. Station Vlaardingen-Oost is the nearest train station.
The district has an ageing character: the largest age group is 65-plus with 3,690 residents, almost a quarter of the total. You notice that in the quiet streets, but also in the type of homes that become available. Many seniors sell their single-family homes, offering opportunities for families looking for space. The Hoofdstedenbuurt and Kruidenbuurt are popular among movers who want a garden and a bit more square metres.

Does Holy Noord suit you as a buyer?
With an average purchase price of over €544,000, buying a home in Holy Noord is not for every first-time buyer, although there are apartments from around €245,000.

Families find the space and schools they are looking for here, and movers benefit from the supply that becomes available due to ageing. Take into account additional costs: approximately 2% transfer tax, notary and valuation costs. Overbidding is sometimes necessary in the more popular segment.

Terrible. Used to be a nice neighbourhood with people who were proud of their house and garden. Now only neglect and people who couldn't care less about how everything looks. We're next to a park and green zone, but in the evening you have to stay away from there.
