Renting in Jisp: a small private sector in a village that is predominantly owner-occupied
Jisp is not a typical rental village. Of the 439 homes, only 23% are rental properties, and the majority of these (16%) are owned by housing associations. The private sector is therefore limited: only 8% of the housing stock falls under other landlords. In the past twelve months, two homes were rented in the private sector (excluding social housing and rooms), with an average rent of 1,800 euros per month and an average floor area of 96 m². The range was also 1,800 euros, indicating how narrow the supply is. For the current daily price and availability, you can consult the overview at the top of this page. By comparison, the average WOZ value in Jisp is 579,000 euros, well above the municipal average of Wormerland (415,000 euros). That says something about the character of this village: it is a buyer's market, with relatively high property values and little turnover in the rental sector. Anyone looking for a rental home in Jisp must reckon with scarce supply and a rent that is clearly above the municipal average.
Jisp: polder tranquillity by the water, for those who appreciate the silence
Jisp is a ribbon village in the Wormer- en Jisperveldpolder, nestled between water, reeds and meadows. It has no supermarket, no corner café and no bus stop that runs every quarter of an hour. That is precisely why residents live there, and precisely why it is not suitable for everyone. On the neighbourhood page of Jisp, residents share their experiences, and what stands out is that peace and nature are consistently mentioned as plus points. One resident describes it as "living as if time goes a little slower, but with a good internet connection." The community is small and close-knit, the average age is high (the largest group is 45 to 65 years old), and you notice that in the atmosphere: quiet, little nuisance, little anonymity.
Amenities have to be sought elsewhere. Wormer or Wormerveer are within cycling distance for daily shopping, and for more urban entertainment you head to Zaandam or Amsterdam. Accessibility by car is reasonable via the N235, but public transport is limited. That is an honest drawback that residents also mention. Anyone dependent on public transport for work or study will find that Jisp offers little comfort in that regard.
The neighbourhood Uitbreiding-Jisp has a slightly different character from the historic core, with some newer buildings. Those looking for more scattered buildings along the water can also look at Verspreide huizen Kanaal- en Oudelandsdijk, although supply there is just as scarce. The nearby Spijkerboor has a similar village atmosphere for those looking a bit broader in the municipality of Wormerland.
Renting in Jisp: who is this village really for?
Jisp attracts people who consciously choose peace, nature and a small community, and who are willing to sacrifice amenities and accessibility for that. The rental market is virtually closed to people with a low income or a social housing urgency: supply is small and the private sector is around 1,800 euros per month. Renting an apartment in Jisp in the private sector is therefore not cheap. For starters or people who want to live flexibly, the choice is limited. Those who still want to stay in the area but want more choice can also look at Wormer or Wijdewormer. And for those considering buying: the supply of homes for sale in Jisp is larger than the rental sector and fits the ownership structure of this village.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average cost of a rental home in Jisp?
In the private sector (excluding social housing and rooms), the average rent in Jisp over the past year was €1,800 per month, with an average floor area of 96 m². Supply is limited: only two homes were rented out in this period. Social housing falls outside these figures and has a different pricing structure via the housing association.
How long is the waiting time for social housing in Jisp?
Social housing in Jisp falls under housing associations active in the municipality of Wormerland. Waiting times for social housing in the region are generally long, partly because the housing association stock in Jisp is small (around 16% of the housing stock). For current waiting lists, you can contact the relevant housing association or the municipality of Wormerland.
Is Jisp easily accessible for people who rent a home and commute daily?
Jisp is reasonably accessible by car via the N235, towards Purmerend and Zaandam. Public transport is limited: there is no train and bus connections are infrequent. For daily commuting by public transport, Jisp is therefore less suitable. Cyclists can reach Wormer or Wormerveer in a quarter of an hour, where more connections are available.
Are there schools in Jisp for families looking to rent a home?
Jisp has a small primary school in the village itself. For secondary education, children rely on surrounding places such as Wormer or Purmerend. Jisp has relatively few young families (the 0-15 age group has 115 residents out of over 1,000), which also says something about the profile of the village.
What are the energy costs when renting an apartment or house in Jisp?
The average energy consumption in Jisp is 3,330 kWh of electricity and 1,500 m³ of gas per year. That gas consumption is relatively high, partly due to the older housing stock in this historic polder village. When renting a home in Jisp, it is advisable to check the energy label of the property carefully, especially given the high WOZ values and associated service costs.
