Apartments and flats for Rent in Noordwijk

Serviced apartments in Noordwijk are rare on the long-term market, so most newcomers rent one of the furnished apartments in Noordwijk instead: 30% of listings are offered furnished.

Noordwijk has no railway station, so every public transit commute starts with a bus, most often to Leiden Centraal. Before you sign for an apartment, check the walk to the nearest stop on that route: it shapes your daily trip more than the distance to the beach.

Leiden is the closest city to Noordwijk, and Leiden Centraal is where most commuters change to the train. The station also serves Leiden University and the Leiden Bio Science Park, both a short walk or bike ride away.

Den Haag is about 49 minutes from Noordwijk by public transit (26 km). The city holds the Dutch ministries and many international organisations, which makes it the second commute for Noordwijk residents. Rotterdam takes about 72 minutes.

Amsterdam is about 30 km from Noordwijk, and the public transit trip combines a bus with a train, so the real time depends on where in Amsterdam you work. Schiphol lies on the way, handy for frequent flyers. Utrecht, at about 82 minutes, is a long daily commute.

Apartments in Noordwijk cost about the same as in Leiden: €1,572 a month on average against €1,620, a gap of only €48, or 3%. Moving to the coast barely cuts your rent; it buys a larger flat near the dunes, 90 m² on average, and 46% of listings mention parking.

Price depends mostly on the number of bedrooms. A 1-bedroom apartment averages €1,300 a month, a 2-bedroom €1,636 and a 3-bedroom €1,911, so the second bedroom adds about €336. Couples usually take a 1-bedroom flat, while families relocating for work compare 2 and 3-bedroom apartments with houses in Noordwijk.
