House prices and market figures for Buitengebied Breezand, Hollands Kroon
The owner-occupied market in Buitengebied Breezand is pronounced. With 89% owner-occupied homes and only 11% rental homes in the hands of private landlords (no housing association properties), this is a neighbourhood where homeownership is the norm. The average WOZ value is €433,000, which is significantly higher than the average for the district Breezand (€348,000) and the municipality Hollands Kroon (€332,000). This difference is no coincidence: the rural area has relatively many detached houses and farmhouses on spacious plots, which pushes up the value.
Over the past twelve months, seven homes changed hands, with an average purchase price of €611,643. The range runs from €147,500 to €1,295,000, indicating how diverse the supply is: from a small barn conversion to a full-fledged farmhouse or mansion. The average sold property had a living area of 242 m², which works out to an average price of around €2,527 per m². That is on the high side for North Holland outside the Randstad, but fits the type of property found here. View the current supply and current asking prices at the top of this page.
Living in Buitengebied Breezand, Hollands Kroon
Buitengebied Breezand is not a residential neighbourhood in the classic sense. There are no rows of terraced houses or new-build estates with identical semi-detached houses. What you find here are farmsteads, detached houses on large plots, agricultural land, and occasionally a converted barn. The openness of the North Holland polder landscape is palpable here: wide skies, ditches along the road, and the sound of wind and birds instead of traffic.
The neighbourhood has 1,210 residents spread over 497 homes, giving a relatively low density. The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds (430 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (300 people). That says something about the character of the neighbourhood: this is not a place where young families flock en masse, but rather an environment that appeals to people who appreciate peace, space, and a certain degree of independence. The labour participation rate is 71%, above the national average, and the average income of €36,700 per household is slightly above the municipal average.
In terms of amenities, you have to be realistic: the rural area has no supermarket, school, or community centre of its own. For daily shopping, you drive to the village centre of Breezand itself, where there is a primary school and limited facilities. For a wider range, such as a secondary school, GP, or larger supermarket, you rely on Anna Paulowna or Den Helder. The distance by car is acceptable, but without a driving licence and car, the rural area is difficult to live in.
Accessibility by car is reasonable: via provincial roads you can reach Den Helder in about twenty minutes and the A7 towards Alkmaar or Amsterdam in just over half an hour. Public transport is limited; bus routes do not run frequently through the rural area itself. The nearest train station is Anna Paulowna, a few kilometres away, with a connection towards Den Helder and Alkmaar.
Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space. On the neighbourhood main page of Buitengebied Breezand you can read what people themselves write about living here. One resident describes it as: "You really have your own place here, no one is on your back and you really see the seasons change in the landscape." Criticism usually focuses on the sparse amenities and dependence on the car. Compared to the Breezand village centre, where you have more within walking distance, the rural area is a conscious choice for a rural lifestyle. The Gelderse Buurt offers a different profile within the same district, with more compact development.
Who is a home for sale in Buitengebied Breezand interesting for?
Buitengebied Breezand primarily appeals to movers and established buyers who consciously choose space and privacy. First-time buyers will experience the average purchase price of over €611,000 and the limited supply of seven transactions per year as a barrier. Buying an apartment in Buitengebied Breezand is virtually out of the question; the supply consists almost entirely of ground-floor homes. Seniors who like to live in the countryside but depend on care or public transport should carefully weigh the location. Anyone considering buying a home here would be wise to engage a local estate agent early, as supply is scarce and the price range is wide. As an alternative, you can also look at rental homes in Buitengebied Breezand, although that supply is even more limited.
