Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children
Everything in Oostvoorne is within a kilometre — supermarket, GP, school, restaurant — and yet amenities get stuck at a 6.1. The reason appears further along in the same row: the railway station is almost thirty kilometres away, and that component weighs heavily enough to neutralise four short walking distances.
The 5.7 for families does not come from the school, which is around the corner, but from who lives there. Few children live here and many over-65s, and that part of the pillar pulls the score down. A neighbourhood can have excellently accessible education and still come out low here.
What Oostvoorne does have is space. Greenery and tree canopy lie far above the national level, noise far below it, and with a 9.3 quiet & nature here is among the best in the country. Only the vacancy stands out: it lies above the median, in a neighbourhood where the property value comes out well above it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oostvoorne a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oostvoorne comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Oostvoorne is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Oostvoorne?
In Oostvoorne the police recorded 109 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.
How is the grade for Oostvoorne calculated?
Oostvoorne scores 9.2 as its total score. That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Oostvoorne lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands. So it is not the mean of the five grades, but a place in the queue. All from open data published by CBS and the police.
