Living in Vondelkwartier: amenities within walking distance, beach by bike
Vondelkwartier is a quiet, mature neighbourhood on the west side of Beverwijk, with a population that largely consists of over-45s and households that have lived there for years. The atmosphere is predominantly calm and orderly. On Buurtje.nl, residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 6.4 out of 10, based on two reviews. Safety and housing score highest, both with a 7.5. Amenities even stand out with a 9.0. One resident describes it as a nice, safe neighbourhood with many amenities and emphasises the location: a quick trip to the beach at Wijk aan Zee is easily done, and the dunes are on your doorstep. Another resident, Marian Boogerd, is more critical and indicates that the cosiness has decreased and that she misses the disappearance of a school in the area. Education therefore scores low: a 3.0. Families with school-age children would be wise to thoroughly investigate which schools are accessible in advance. View all reviews and neighbourhood data on the Vondelkwartier neighbourhood page.
The amenities score of 9.0 is not without reason. The Beverwijk Bazaar, one of the largest covered markets in Europe, is a short distance away. For daily groceries, supermarkets in and around the centre of Beverwijk are easily accessible. The shopping centre on Breestraat offers a wide range of shops and catering. There is also green space, although it scores a moderate 6.0: the neighbourhood has tree-lined streets and walking routes towards the dunes, but large parks within the neighbourhood itself are scarce. The adjacent area Westerhout has more greenery and a slightly quieter character, while Vondellaan offers a similar living environment within the same quarter.
In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores a 7.0. Beverwijk station is within cycling distance and offers direct connections to Haarlem (approx. 20 minutes) and Amsterdam Central (approx. 35 minutes). Via the A9 and A22, the region is well connected for motorists. Bus services provide local connections within Beverwijk and towards IJmuiden. The coast at Wijk aan Zee can be reached by bike in a quarter of an hour, which is an important asset for many residents.
For which buyers is Vondelkwartier a good choice?
The neighbourhood mainly attracts movers and over-45s who are looking for space and value amenities within walking distance. With an average selling price of over €524,000, buying in Vondelkwartier is not an entry-level market for first-time buyers. Those looking for a smaller home can find something at the lower end of the range, but still need to account for additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers) and notary fees. Supply is limited: 29 sales in a year means homes do not stay on the market long. Those who want to be flexible can also look at rental homes in Vondelkwartier as an interim solution. Families with young children should carefully weigh up the education provision in the area.

What a wonderful place I find Beverwijk! The location is fantastic: I love being so close to the coast. A quick stroll on the beach at Wijk aan Zee is easily done, and the dunes always offer a beautiful piece of nature for walking or cycling. I love breathing in the sea air. The shopping options: The Bazaar is of course unique and something I really enjoy. It's a fantastic, bustling place where I always find something special. The diversity there is great! But I also find the atmosphere in the city centre very pleasant. The people and the atmosphere: I experience Beverwijk as a place with a down-to-earth, cosy and cordial atmosphere. The people here are direct, and I like that. I really feel at home here. Culture and history: The historical elements, such as the ruins of Huis te Beverwijk, appeal to me a lot. I find it interesting to learn more about them. For me, Beverwijk is just a nice, lively municipality with a perfect mix of urban conveniences, history and nature. I wouldn't want to leave here! The only downside is the education in the neighbourhood. There are enough schools, but the level of the teachers and the education is very mediocre. This MUST be improved for the next generation.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe cosiness is gone. Since the neighbourhood became multicultural. More fear. Alcohol and drugs. Rats.. no school in the neighbourhood anymore. Few trees and shrubs. Lots of one-way traffic.
