Living in Sancta Maria Noordwijkerhout, Noordwijk

Sancta Maria Noordwijkerhout is not an average residential neighbourhood. It is a green, rural ribbon on the edge of Noordwijkerhout, nestled between bulb fields, forests and the coastal dunes that make the Bollenstreek so characteristic. The name refers to the former monastery complex that once formed the heart of this area and gave the area its own, almost secluded character. Those who live here consciously choose space, tranquillity and distance from the hustle and bustle, but accept that daily amenities are not around the corner.

The homes are often on large plots along lanes with mature trees. Construction periods vary, but you see both classic villas from the early twentieth century and more modern detached houses from the 1980s and 1990s. The atmosphere is green and spacious, with little traffic and plenty of privacy. This is not a neighbourhood where you just pop out onto the street for a coffee or a grocery.

For daily shopping, you drive to the centre of Noordwijkerhout, a few minutes away, where there is a supermarket, bakery and other shops. Children in the neighbourhood attend primary schools in Noordwijkerhout town centre. For secondary education, Lisse or Noordwijk is a logical destination. Sports clubs such as football and tennis clubs are active in Noordwijkerhout and within cycling distance.

In terms of accessibility, a car is indispensable. The N206 and N444 connect the neighbourhood quickly to Leiden, Haarlem and the coast. Sassenheim station is the nearest train station, about ten minutes' drive away, with direct connections to Leiden and Haarlem. Bus connections are limited; public transport is not the strongest asset here. Cyclists benefit from the quiet country roads towards the dunes and bulb fields, a real plus for those who enjoy cycling in the countryside.

The neighbourhood has around 315 residents, the largest group being between 45 and 65 years old. Families with children are present, but less dominant than that middle generation. The average income of €65,200 is well above the municipal average of €41,100, which fits the house prices and living profile. Residents appreciate the peace and space. One resident describes it as follows: "You really live out here, but still close to everything. The children cycle safely along the lanes and you hardly see any through traffic."
