House prices in Broek op Langedijk: above the municipal average, but for good reason
Broek op Langedijk is very much an owner-occupied neighbourhood: over 72% of homes are owned, compared to 28% rented. The average WOZ value is €418,000, clearly higher than the municipal average of €366,000 for Dijk en Waard.

The range runs from €300,000 to €1,500,000, indicating that both entry-level homes and substantial detached houses change hands.

Broek op Langedijk: polder tranquillity with two shopping centres around the corner
Living in Broek op Langedijk means living in a village that sets its own pace. It is not a commuter town that lives off the motorway, but a community that revolves around neighbourhood associations, a historic centre and the proximity of the North Holland polder landscape. Residents give the neighbourhood an 8.0 on Buurtje.nl, with notably high scores for green space (9.0) and education (8.5). The score for housing is somewhat lower (6.5), which is probably related to the limited supply and rising prices.
