Buying a house in Hollands Kroon: the housing market in 2026
Hollands Kroon is a sprawling municipality in the Kop van Noord-Holland, formed from the merger of Anna Paulowna, Niedorp, Wieringen and Wieringermeer. It is an area of bulb fields, polders, dike villages and wide views. You don't live here for city life, but for the space, the peace and an affordable alternative to the Randstad. Major employers such as Agriport A7, Microsoft's data centre and greenhouse horticulture provide local employment, and via the A7 and N99 you are within three-quarters of an hour of Alkmaar or Hoorn. The housing market is predominantly owner-occupied: 71% of the more than 21,450 homes are owner-occupied, only 29% are rental. The average WOZ value is €332,000, but actual selling prices are higher. In the past year, 340 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €433,135, with a range of €147,500 to €1,300,000. The average floor area of sold homes is 137 m², indicating that you get considerably more square metres here than in more urban municipalities. See the current supply and time to sell at the top of this page for the latest updates. On Buurtje.nl, you will find neighbourhood scores, resident reviews and neighbourhood data from more than 1,500 sources for each home, so you can assess not only the house but also the neighbourhood well.

't Veld, village living with good accessibility
't Veld lies on the southeastern edge of the municipality, close to Nieuwe Niedorp, and benefits from the proximity of the N242 towards Alkmaar and Heerhugowaard.

Hippolytushoef, the heart of former Wieringen

The location is special: you live on a hilly part of North Holland with views over the IJsselmeer and the Wadden Sea. The neighbourhood score is 7.8. Homes on Wieringen are often characterful and slightly lower priced than in Anna Paulowna, although you quickly pay more for special properties along the dike. See the available homes in Hippolytushoef.
Nieuwe Niedorp, quiet and well-priced
Nieuwe Niedorp lies centrally in the municipality and together with 't Veld and Oude Niedorp forms a cluster of villages. The village scores an 8.0 from residents and is known for its tranquillity and rural character. There is a primary school and a small range of shops; for larger groceries you drive to Schagen or Heerhugowaard.

Other villages worth exploring are: Breezand (neighbourhood score 7.9) on the edge of the bulb fields, Middenmeer in the Wieringermeer with lower prices but also a lower neighbourhood score of 5.5, and Den Oever on the Afsluitdijk for those who love water and wide-open spaces.

What to look out for when buying a home in Hollands Kroon?
Firstly: look carefully at the village that suits you. The difference between Anna Paulowna with a train station and supermarkets and a small village like Lutjewinkel or Slootdorp is large in terms of amenities. If you have school-age children, check whether there is a primary school in the village, because not every village still has one. Secondly: the market in Hollands Kroon is less overheated than in the Randstad, but popular villages like Anna Paulowna and 't Veld do face competition. Keep an eye on the time to sell at the top of this page to get a feel for market pressure. Thirdly: a car is almost indispensable in Hollands Kroon. Only Anna Paulowna has a train station; the rest of the municipality depends on bus lines that do not always run frequently. Use the neighbourhood scores and neighbourhood data on Buurtje.nl to see how accessibility and amenities score per village. Are you also considering a rental home? Then see the rental homes in Hollands Kroon, although the rental supply is limited at 29% of the stock.

The community regularly organises fun activities. Lots of music. Plenty of cosiness. Much attention to greenery. Everything beautifully laid out. Minimal amenities in a village that is growing bigger with new construction. The supermarket and butcher are already gone. The supermarket was a nice (learning) place for young people with a distance to the labour market. Too bad it didn't get off the ground properly. With the right knowledge and ideas, it could still become a nice social initiative with a chance of success.
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice and cosy village. Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer shops like the butcher and supermarket that have disappeared. It is nicely central between several cities such as Schagen, Heerhugowaard and possibly Alkmaar. A nice modern primary school in the village is ideal and the dentist is also conveniently around the corner.
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood, friendly people, lots of sports activities nearby and at my home a beautiful view over meadows.
Auto-translated to English by AIWhen I talk about my own little neighbourhood, a part of Colijnstraat, it's fantastic. We organise a neighbourhood barbecue every year, look out for each other, have regular contact, play games, have a stamppot evening and a fire pit evening. People love living in our little neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIA year ago, I came to live here with my husband, it is quiet but the cars can drive quite fast through the streets, which is why I have never let my cats go outside, the supermarket and some other shops are within walking distance from us so that is lovely, but on the other side of the village there is nothing so I can imagine that those people would find it annoying to have to go by bike or car every time.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood neighbourhood, nice people friendly, small quiet boring nothing happens
Auto-translated to English by AIDecent neighbourhood, shops within walking distance. Quite clean, school also at a reasonable distance. Quite quiet neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AII have always found this a nice neighbourhood, very quiet and lots of young families. Quite a lot of greenery has been planted in the area recently. There are two schools, both relatively close by.
