The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, giving the neighbourhood an active but quiet character. On the neighbourhood page of Oranjebuurt you will find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents appreciate the peace and affordability, but are honest about what is less good: the greenery could have had a bit more attention and the parking pressure in some streets is noticeable. One resident aptly described it as a neighbourhood where you can just live without fuss, but where you wouldn't sit on a terrace to soak up the atmosphere.

Is Oranjebuurt the right neighbourhood for you as a buyer?
Oranjebuurt mainly appeals to first-time buyers and young families looking for a home to buy without having to pay the top of the Beverwijk market. The average sale price of almost €397,000 does require solid financing, and with only 18 transactions in a year, supply is limited, which sometimes leads to overbidding. When buying a home, don't forget the additional costs: transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers), notary fees and any structural survey can quickly add up to several thousand euros. If buying is not feasible now, check out the rental homes in Oranjebuurt as a temporary alternative.
