Buying a house in Heiloo: the housing market in 2026
Heiloo is one of those North Holland villages that outsiders might overlook, but residents are reluctant to leave. Located between Alkmaar and the coast, with the Heilooër Bos as its green lung and a compact but complete centre around Stationsplein, the village mainly attracts families and home-movers seeking space without leaving the city entirely behind. With over 24,300 residents, it is large enough for good amenities but small enough to know your neighbour. The housing market is robust: 73% of the more than 11,100 homes are owner-occupied, and the average WOZ value is €506,000. In the past twelve months, 54 homes changed hands at an average purchase price of €721,000, with a range from €315,000 to €2,595,000. That spread says a lot: there is a difference between a starter flat near the station and a detached villa on the edge of the woods. Supply is limited and the market is tight, meaning you need to act quickly as a buyer. At the top of this page you will find the current housing supply and the most recent market figures. Buurtje.nl combines listings from more than 1,500 sources with neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you not only find a home but also the right neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Heiloo
Heiloo has eight official neighbourhoods, each with its own character. From the green edges in the west to the busier station area, the differences are greater than you might expect based on the size of the village. Below are the most relevant neighbourhoods for buyers.
Heiloo-Midden, the beating heart of the village
The centre of Heiloo revolves around the Kennemerstraatweg, the Heerenweg and the shopping area 't Loo. Here you will find most shops, restaurants and the town hall. The homes are a mix of pre-war townhouses, 1960s terraced houses and newer apartments. Residents give Heiloo-Midden a strong 8.1 on Buurtje.nl, particularly due to the short distance to amenities and the village character.

What to look out for when buying a home in Heiloo?
First: pay close attention to the differences between neighbourhoods. The average purchase price of €721,000 says little when you know the range runs from €315,000 to over €2.5 million. In the Stationsomgeving you are more likely to find an affordable apartment to buy in Heiloo, while in Heiloo Noord-West or Heiloo-West you quickly end up in the higher segment. Second: the market is tight. With only 54 sales in a year, supply is limited. Expect to have to decide quickly and that overbidding occurs, especially for family homes. Make sure your financing is in order before you go viewing. Third: check the accessibility from the specific neighbourhood. Heiloo has a station, but not every neighbourhood is equally close. Accessibility scores a 7.0 from residents, which is lower than the other scores. If you depend on public transport, the Stationsomgeving is more logical than the outer neighbourhoods. Finally: use neighbourhood data to make an informed choice. On Buurtje.nl you can compare scores per neighbourhood on safety, greenery and amenities. And if buying is not feasible at the moment, also check the possibilities to rent a home in Heiloo.

It's a very nice little village, grown organically with lovely people who were born and raised here. I enjoy cycling through it and everything is within reach. Within a quarter of an hour you're in Alkmaar and by train half an hour towards Amsterdam. The sea is also just half an hour's bike ride away. There are friendly people living here and they're always around. Also a number of supermarkets so you'll find your fellow man there and get along. It's a nice spot, I like being there.

Auto-translated to English by AINice living without everyone interfering, live and let live is the motto here, and looking out for people who need a bit of help or attention for whatever reason. There is also a form of social control which benefits safety. It's a shame though that there is no bus stopping here that everyone can use if needed, instead of a neighbourhood bus that you can only use with a special membership.
