In 1960, the old navy town merged with the adjacent municipalities Nieuwenhoorn and Nieuw- Helvoet, and in the 70s Hellevoetsluis was designated as a Growthcentre, to become the second residential town on Voorne-Putten. Hellevoetsluis got many new residents. Especially people who work elsewhere in the region like Botlek Europoort-Rotterdam, but by the well connected opted for the peace and area of Hellevoetsluis.

Since that time, there are many new districts created, the Struyten, the Kooistee, den Bonsen hoek, the Ravense hoek; broad-based districts in the middle of the green and close to the water, a nice clean living and recreational environment! If Growthcentre doubled in the 70s, the number of inhabitants and many facilities were achieved for them.
