Noordwest consists of several sub-neighbourhoods, each with its own character. The Mondriaanbuurt and the Rietveldbuurt are more established residential areas with predominantly single-family homes from the twentieth century. De Hooilanden has a somewhat newer and more spacious character, while the Business & Science Park has a different function within the neighbourhood. Living in Noordwest therefore also means choosing which sub-neighbourhood best suits you.
For which buyers is Noordwest a good choice?
Families looking for peace and greenery without living far from the city will find much of what they are looking for in Noordwest.

The higher incomes in the neighbourhood (average €39,200 compared to €32,900 municipal) and the average selling price of over €565,000 make this less accessible for first-time buyers. Anyone wanting to buy a home in Noordwest would do well to take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers), notary fees and possible valuation costs.

Auto-translated to English by AIActually nothing to complain about. I've been living there for a long time with great pleasure. The only thing is there's always a dog owner who doesn't clean up their poop. Which is annoying because you really can't see it in the dark.
