What does a home in Noord, Den Bosch cost?
The housing market in Noord is remarkably affordable compared to the rest of Den Bosch. The average WOZ value is €331,000, well below the municipal average of €398,000. However, actual transaction prices are higher: in the past twelve months, 50 homes were sold for an average of €504,939, with a range of €299,000 to €1,200,000. That spread says a lot about the diversity of the neighbourhood. From compact apartments in De Hambaken to more spacious family homes in De Rompert, the offering is broad. Note: only 42% of the over 9,100 homes are owner-occupied, the rest are rental (of which 53% is housing association stock). This makes the supply of homes for sale relatively limited.

Living in Noord: a neighbourhood with a village character on the edge of the city
Noord is one of the larger neighbourhoods of Den Bosch, with over 20,500 residents spread across diverse sub-neighbourhoods. The area stretches from the historic Orthen, one of the oldest inhabited places in the Netherlands, to newer expansions such as De Edelstenenbuurt and De Sprookjesbuurt. This results in a neighbourhood that is hard to capture in a single word, but where residents are remarkably satisfied. On Buurtje.nl, Noord scores a 7.7 out of 10, particularly high on accessibility (8.7) and safety (8.3). Resident Arwin writes: "I moved to Orthen and I feel like a world has opened up for me. Everyone is so friendly and the peace and quiet I experience is really pleasant." That village-like, tranquil feeling comes up in multiple reviews.
You are well-served in terms of amenities. De Rompert shopping centre offers daily groceries with, among others, a Jumbo and Albert Heijn. In the vicinity are primary schools such as De Kring and Het Noorderlicht, and for secondary education, Jeroen Bosch College is nearby. Sportpark De Hambaken is the home of football club OJC Rosmalen (Noord division) and there are tennis courts and a swimming pool in the immediate area. Green space scores high (8.2) and rightly so: the Engelermeer is within cycling distance, and along the Aa and Dieze rivers there are lovely walking routes. Paul Niewold, active in neighbourhood committees for 25 years, emphasises how the neighbourhood has changed positively, partly due to the diversity of associations.
Accessibility is a strong point. Via the Rietveldenweg and Parallelweg, you are quickly on the A2 towards Eindhoven or Utrecht. Bus lines 61 and 64 of Arriva connect Noord to Den Bosch station, which you can reach in about ten minutes. From that station, you can travel to Amsterdam in an hour or to Eindhoven in half an hour. To be fair: the lowest sub-score is cleanliness (6.5), and some parts of the neighbourhood, particularly around De Herven and the adjacent industrial estate, look less attractive. This slightly lowers the overall picture, but also partly explains the lower prices compared to neighbourhoods like the Binnenstad.
Does Noord suit you as a buyer?
The neighbourhood attracts a broad group. First-time buyers find owner-occupied homes in Noord that are more affordable than in popular neighbourhoods like Graafsepoort or Rosmalen-Zuid, although for apartments around €300,000 you should expect to bid over the asking price. Families benefit from the more spacious family homes, schools and green spaces. Seniors, who are well represented with 4,270 aged 65 and over, appreciate the peace and amenities within walking distance. When buying, take into account additional costs: approximately 2% transfer tax, notary and valuation costs. With an average income of €33,400 in the neighbourhood, a mortgage for the more expensive segments is not feasible for everyone. Alternatively, also take a look at rental homes in Noord as an option.

Auto-translated to English by AIVery social and everyone takes care of each other when needed. Really a nice quiet neighbourhood. Shops and schools and green spaces and playgrounds nearby. Good dog walking spots close by. And so safe and cosy to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AII have been active in various neighbourhood committees for about 25 years and therefore know quite well how the neighbourhood functions. Especially how the neighbourhood has changed over the years (positively), with the diversity of various associations playing a major role.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe have been living here for 2.5 years now and are very happy that we made the choice to move here. It is a nice, quiet and safe neighbourhood. The only thing that bothers us occasionally is that not everyone cleans up their rubbish/mess, but that could also be people who don't live here. Some people drive very fast on a road where the speed limit is 30 km/h.
