Living by the water: what does Broek in Waterland really feel like?

Broek in Waterland is no ordinary village. Driving into the village along the narrow dyke roads, you enter a world of pastel-coloured wooden houses, ditches with little bridges, and a silence you won't find anywhere else in the Randstad. The historic village centre around the Havenbuurt and the white church on the Havenrak exudes a seventeenth-century atmosphere, but with residents who actually live there and not just for the photo. On the neighbourhood page of Broek in Waterland you can read extensive reviews and scores from residents. What often comes up: people greatly appreciate the peace, the greenery and the village community, but also mention the limited amenities. There is a small supermarket, a handful of eateries and a primary school, but for a GP, secondary school or larger shopping trips you need to go to Monnickendam or Amsterdam-Noord.

Accessibility is a recurring point. Residents write that the bus connection to Amsterdam via line 312 works reasonably well, but during rush hour traffic on the N247 can get badly congested. "Living here is fantastic, but you have to be able to handle being stuck in traffic towards Amsterdam for half an hour sometimes," one resident summed it up. Cycling to Amsterdam-Noord and taking the ferry is the daily alternative for many. The neighbourhood Broek in Waterland itself is compact and easy to navigate, while the nearby hamlets Zuiderwoude and Uitdam are even more rural, with views over the Markermeer and the open polder.

The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (over 1,000 of the 3,195 residents), and 40% of households are married. Yet families with children also live here: 540 households with children form the largest group. Half of the residents are highly educated, which is reflected in village life: there is an active drama society, an annual village fair and involved parents at De Trimaran primary school. Ageing is visible, with 760 residents aged 65 and over. This gives the village a quiet, sometimes somewhat sleepy character after eight in the evening.
