Rental prices and market figures for Wervershoof Onderdijk, Medemblik

Approximately 15% of the housing stock is owned by a housing association (social housing), while other landlords account for about 4%. Private sector rental homes are therefore a small segment in this neighbourhood.

Do not draw broad market conclusions from this, but use it as an indication. For the current available rental homes and the most recent average rental price, see the overview at the top of this page.
The average WOZ value in Wervershoof Onderdijk is €423,000, which is clearly higher than the district average of Wervershoof (€378,000) and the municipal average of Medemblik (€376,000).

Living in Wervershoof Onderdijk, Medemblik
Wervershoof Onderdijk is a quiet, green neighbourhood on the edge of the village of Wervershoof, in the municipality of Medemblik. The name refers to its location along the old dike zone, and that character is still clearly felt in the neighbourhood: open, rural, with space around you. It is not a typical residential area with terraced houses, but a mix of detached homes and semi-detached homes, partly on spacious plots. The average WOZ value of €423,000 fits this picture: these are not cheap starter homes, but solid family homes and larger single-family houses.
The neighbourhood has about 1,400 residents, with a clear emphasis on the 45 to 65 age group (435 people). Families with children are the largest household group (215 households), and 40% of residents are married. That says something about the character of Wervershoof Onderdijk: this is a neighbourhood where people stay for a long time, not a transit area for students or young singles.

For daily groceries, residents rely on the nearby Wervershoof Centrum, within cycling distance. There you will find a supermarket and some local shops.
