Buying a home in Oudtburgh, Bergen (NH).
Oudtburgh is Bergen's quieter heart, where you'll find detached homes and spacious villas with gardens that actually give you room to breathe. You're living among people who spend time outdoors: the North Sea is a bike ride away, and the village itself revolves around the harbour and beach. The streets are wide, the trees mature, and it's the kind of neighbourhood where neighbours know each other without feeling like a small village. Schools, shops and cafés are all close by, but not on your doorstep.

What does Oudtburgh offer?
Bergen is a village where you actually have neighbours, not just houses. The homes here are mostly 1930s and 1950s builds, often roomier than you'd find in the city, with gardens that are genuinely usable. You're twenty minutes from Alkmaar and half an hour from Amsterdam, so you're not cut off, but you'll feel the difference from the bustle. The coast is close enough for a Sunday bike ride to Egmond.
