Buying a house in Noordwijk: the housing market in 2026
Noordwijk has long ceased to be a hidden gem. This coastal town in South Holland attracts buyers looking for a combination of beach, bulb fields and good connections to Leiden, The Hague and Amsterdam. With over 45,700 residents, it is large enough for good amenities, but small enough to know your neighbours. The largest employers are in the tourism sector, the space industry (ESA/ESTEC) and bulb cultivation, but many residents work in the Randstad and commute via the A44 or bus routes to Leiden Central.
Of the more than 20,700 homes in Noordwijk, 63% are owner-occupied and 36% are rental. The average WOZ value is €488,000, but actual selling prices are much higher: in the past twelve months, 373 homes were sold for an average of €882,292. The range is enormous, from €159,500 for a small apartment to €6,750,000 for a villa on the coast. The average floor area of sold homes is 132 m². It is a market where you need to act quickly, especially in the mid-range segment. Check the current overview at the top of this page for the latest updates.

The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Noordwijk

Noordwijkerhout, village living with the highest neighbourhood score

Noordwijk Binnen, the historic heart
Noordwijk Binnen is the old village centre, with the Sint-Jeroenstraat as a shopping street, the striking Oude Jeroenskerk and a mix of characterful homes and new builds. You will find everything here: terraced houses, semi-detached houses and apartments. Accessibility is good, with bus stops to Leiden and the coast within walking distance. Residents give the district a 7.8. It is a suitable place for starters looking for an affordable apartment and for families who appreciate the proximity of schools and amenities.

The neighbourhood score is 7.7 based on 3 reviews. Residents appreciate the beach and the space, but note that it can be busy with tourists in summer and parking can be a challenge. Purchase prices here are clearly above the municipal average, especially for apartments with a sea view. It is a sought-after location for movers and people who prefer coastal living over a large garden. Discover what is for sale in Noordwijk Zee.
De Zilk, quiet and affordable
De Zilk is the smallest village in the municipality, nestled between the dunes and bulb fields. With a neighbourhood score of 7.4, it is rated slightly lower, but if you are looking for peace and nature, you are in the right place. There is a primary school, a sports hall and a small range of shops. House prices are relatively low for the municipality, making it interesting for starters or buyers with a tighter budget. The downside: you are more dependent on the car for larger shopping trips or going out. View the available homes in De Zilk.
In addition, there are two more rural areas worth considering. Noordwijk Buitengebied offers space and detached homes among the bulb fields, while the rural area of Noordwijkerhout offers similar peace with a slightly more agricultural character. Both areas are suitable for buyers who value square metres and privacy over walking distance to the supermarket. Want to compare all ratings per district?

What to look out for when buying a home in Noordwijk?
Firstly: look beyond just the coast. Noordwijk Zee is attractive, but the price per square metre is significantly higher than in Noordwijkerhout or De Zilk. If you are willing to look a few kilometres inland, you get more house for your money. Secondly: the market in Noordwijk is tight, especially in the mid-range segment between €400,000 and €700,000. Be prepared for multiple bids and ensure your financing is in order before you start viewing.
Also pay attention to accessibility per district. Noordwijk does not have its own train station, so you are dependent on bus routes (especially line 20 to Leiden) or the car via the N206 and A44. In summer, traffic towards the coast can get congested. Check the website of the municipality of Noordwijk for plans for infrastructure and housing construction in your intended district. Finally: compare not only prices, but also how residents experience their neighbourhood. Buurtje.nl shows you scores per district on safety, green spaces, amenities and more. That gives a fairer picture than just photos and floor plans. Are you also considering renting a home in Noordwijk? Then you will find the current rental listings there.

Clean, beautiful and cosy, close to the village, supermarkets and playgrounds! Great for parents and children. There is plenty to do and everything is within walking distance! Even the bus stop is very close! Just perfect!
Auto-translated to English by AINoordwijkerhout is a safe and quiet village with a strong community. The surroundings are clean and green, with good amenities such as shops and schools. Moreover, you can be in the dunes and at the seaside within a short time, ideal for relaxation and nature. A lovely place to live where you quickly feel at home!!!
Auto-translated to English by AII think if you live in a house where you have 8 dogs and now a nest of puppies, and you also occupy 5 parking spaces, 2 of which you don't even use, I find that quite antisocial. And it's just tolerated. The housing association does nothing about it. If you email them, you get no reply, even though they claim to take action. Also, I think people drive way too fast on the Viaductweg. I've reported this before, but they do nothing about it either.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe people in the neighbourhood are very different. But still we all fit together well. I haven't experienced anything in this neighbourhood that resembles a quarrel. I've also never seen anything happen that attracted negative attention. Other than that, just a nice little neighbourhood.
