Homes for sale in Havenzathe, Landsmeer

House prices and market figures Havenzathe, Landsmeer

Havenzathe is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: as much as 96% of the housing stock consists of owner-occupied homes, and only 4% is in the hands of private landlords. Social housing is virtually non-existent. That ratio says a lot about the character of the neighbourhood: this is a place where people consciously choose to buy and stay.

The average WOZ value in Havenzathe is €581,000, which is almost equal to the municipal average of €580,000 and slightly above the district average of €557,000. In practice, transaction prices are higher: over the past twelve months, 14 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €681,429. The range runs from €550,000 to €915,000, indicating that both entry-level homes and larger family homes come onto the market. With an average living area of 120 m², this works out at a price per square metre of approximately €5,679. For current asking prices and available homes, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.

The supply mainly consists of single-family homes, often terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s. Detached houses exist but are scarce and push the upper limit upwards.

Living in Havenzathe, Landsmeer

Havenzathe is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the edge of Landsmeer, nestled between the water, the Twiske recreation area and the sports park. The neighbourhood exudes a suburban atmosphere that attracts many families and older residents: wide streets, front gardens, little traffic and a manageable scale. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but rather for the peace and space it offers.

The homes largely date from the 1970s and 1980s and are typical of that period: solid terraced houses and semi-detached houses with a garden, a garage or carport and sufficient living space for a family. Renovations and extensions have been carried out over the years, so the quality per home can vary greatly. As a buyer, pay close attention to this.

In terms of amenities, Havenzathe is reasonably self-sufficient for daily shopping. There are shops within walking distance and the centre of Landsmeer is quickly reachable by bike. Schools score notably high in resident ratings (9.0 out of 10), which matches the large proportion of families with children in the neighbourhood. The sports park right next to the neighbourhood offers space for football, tennis and other sports. The Twiske, the recreation area north of Landsmeer, can be reached by bike within a few minutes and makes the neighbourhood particularly attractive for families in summer.

Accessibility scores the highest of all categories: a 9.0. Amsterdam Central is reachable by bus, and via the N247 and the ring road you are relatively quickly in the city. Still, a car is practical for most residents, especially for commuting to locations outside Amsterdam. The cycling connections towards Amsterdam-Noord are good, but the distance requires some effort.

Resident Morris Koolwijk describes it aptly: "Nice, but a bit of a boring neighbourhood. There are enough shops to do fun things, and the sports park and the nature around it are really fun in summer." He adds that the streets have been a bit more restless in the evening lately due to groups of young people. That caveat is honest and recognisable for many similar neighbourhoods. The safety score stands at 8.0, which is acceptable but indicates it is not entirely carefree. The community score (6.0) is the lowest of all categories, suggesting that mutual involvement is limited. People live there pleasantly, but it is not a neighbourhood where everyone knows each other.

Compared to the adjacent Sportpark and the more village-like Oude dorp, Havenzathe has a somewhat more anonymous character, but also more space and greenery. Those seeking more rurality can also look at Buitengebied. All neighbourhood data, scores per category and resident reviews can be found on the neighbourhood page of Havenzathe.

Who is a home for sale in Havenzathe interesting for?

Havenzathe mainly attracts families and middle-aged residents seeking peace and space at a reasonable distance from Amsterdam. With an average purchase price of over €680,000, the neighbourhood is not accessible for starters with a limited budget. Movers-up and dual-income earners with a stable income are the most obvious buyers. Seniors looking to downsize will find less supply here, because the housing stock consists almost entirely of single-family homes. As a buyer, be aware that supply is limited: on average, only a handful of homes are sold per year, meaning you have to act quickly when something becomes available. Overbidding is not unusual in this price range. Those who want to stay flexible can also look at rental homes in Havenzathe, although that supply is very limited.
