Buying a house in Buren: the housing market in 2026
The municipality of Buren lies in the heart of the Betuwe, the river area between the Neder-Rijn and the Waal in the province of Gelderland. It is a sprawling rural municipality with over 27,700 residents, spread across more than twenty villages. Think of villages like Maurik, Lienden, Beusichem and the town of Buren itself. People consciously choose this municipality: the peace, the open landscape with fruit orchards, and the relatively affordable housing market compared to cities like Arnhem attract both families and home-movers. At the same time, you are well connected to Utrecht and Tiel via the A15 and A2.
The housing market in Buren is predominantly an owner-occupied market: 75% of the over 11,100 homes are owner-occupied, only 25% are rental. The average WOZ value is €416,000. In the past twelve months, 146 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €647,223, with a range from €129,000 to €1,950,000. That average is significantly inflated by the larger detached homes and former farmhouses that are common here. The average floor area of sold homes is 167 m², confirming the rural character. At the top of this page, you can see the current time on market and the current supply. Buurtje.nl bundles homes from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you can look beyond just the asking price.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Buren
The municipality of Buren has seven official neighbourhoods, each with its own village character. From the busier Maurik along the Lek to the quiet Ravenswaaij: the differences are greater than you might think at first glance. Below are the most important neighbourhoods for home seekers.
Beusichem, the best-rated village on the Lek
Beusichem is a compact village on the northern edge of the municipality, close to the Lek. The village has its own primary school, a sports club and a community centre that keeps social life going. On Buurtje.nl, Beusichem scores an 8.5 from residents, the highest neighbourhood score in the municipality. Homes here are predominantly single-family homes and detached houses. Prices are around or slightly above the municipal average, but you get space and peace in return. View the housing supply in Beusichem for the current situation.
Lienden, village living with good accessibility

The housing supply ranges from 1930s homes in the old village centre to newer terraced houses on the outskirts. Lienden offers good value for money for families looking for a combination of village living and public transport accessibility. View what is currently for sale in Lienden.
Maurik, the largest core with the most amenities
Maurik is the largest core in the municipality in terms of population and therefore also has the widest range of amenities: supermarkets, GPs, secondary school De Lingeborgh in nearby Geldermalsen is easily accessible, and there are various sports clubs. Yet the neighbourhood score of 6.5 is more modest than that of the smaller villages. One resident notes: "The amenities are fine, but the village feel is less strong than in the smaller cores." House prices in Maurik are on average slightly lower than in Beusichem or Lienden, making it interesting for first-time buyers looking for a home to buy. View the available homes in Maurik.
Buren, historic town with character
The town of Buren itself is small but has a particularly historic centre with ramparts and a Marechaussee Museum. Living in Buren feels like living in an open-air museum, but with a lively village community. The supply is limited and prices for characterful properties can rise significantly. For those who value atmosphere and history more than square metres, the supply in Buren is worth a look.
In addition, there are the smaller cores that are certainly worth considering. Ingen is picturesquely situated on the Neder-Rijn and attracts buyers looking for peace and views. Zoelen offers a rural setting with larger plots, and Ravenswaaij is one of the smallest villages where you really live remotely.

What to look out for when buying a home in Buren?
Buying a home in Buren requires a different approach than in the city. Firstly: the differences between villages are large. In Maurik you have amenities within walking distance, in Ravenswaaij you are dependent on the car for everything. Look carefully at what you need daily and how that fits with the core where you buy.
Secondly: the supply in the municipality is not very large. With 146 sales in a year and a relatively tight owner-occupied market, you need to act quickly when something suitable comes along. Overbidding occurs, especially for well-maintained family homes in Lienden and Beusichem. Make sure your financing is in order before you go viewing.
Thirdly: pay attention to the condition of the home. Many houses in the Betuwe are older and the average gas consumption in the municipality (1,340 m³) indicates that not all homes are well insulated. Always ask about the energy label and factor in insulation costs. More information about municipal schemes can be found on the website of the municipality of Buren.
Finally: use neighbourhood data to make an informed choice. On Buurtje.nl you can compare scores per neighbourhood on safety, accessibility and amenities, so you don't just buy on feeling. Are you also considering renting? Then also view the rental homes in Buren as an alternative.

Mix of villagers and residents from outside the village. Quite a young neighbourhood, but there are also some elderly people. Rental houses are reasonably priced, and owner-occupied homes are on the high side for starters these days.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood, but it still doesn't lack any amenities. We have a small shopping centre where we can buy everything we need. It's also a beautiful area. So overall a very positive neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIYou have to be strong to live in Eck en Wiel in a rental home. The owner-occupied homes are okay. My experience is that it's better there. Of course, there's a village idiot like in every neighbourhood. In this case, there are several who keep their curtains closed and no longer open the door just like that. Young children cannot play outside alone. Everything is swept under the rug or dismissed. There are also fortunately many nice people. However, that doesn't change the fact that I have never experienced anything like this before. Terrible, just move somewhere else if you still have the choice. I enjoy walking the dog in the city more. There are no areas where the dog can run off-leash. There is a small playground for very young children. Furthermore, Eck en Wiel is not child-friendly. They can play on the pavement. The cars drive too fast. Nothing is done about it. There is also constant noise from music or dogs. Even at night.
