Buying a house in Landsmeer: the housing market in 2026
Landsmeer is one of those municipalities in Noord-Holland where you feel like you live in the countryside, while Amsterdam is just a fifteen-minute bike ride away. The village is nestled between the Twiske recreation area, the Ilpervelden and the open polder landscape, giving it a green and quiet character that is hard to find so close to the capital. This combination mainly attracts families and home-movers who want to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind but don't want to compromise on accessibility. With around 11,661 residents, Landsmeer is compact, and you can see that in the housing market. Of the 4,915 homes, 66% are owner-occupied, and the supply that comes onto the market is limited. In the past twelve months, only 54 homes changed hands, with an average purchase price of €789,796. The range runs from €469,000 to €1,750,000, with an average living area of 134 m². The WOZ value is €580,000, indicating that the market has risen sharply in recent years. With little supply and high demand, the market in Landsmeer can be described as tight. At the top of this page, you can see the current supply and the time on market for the most recent updates. On Buurtje.nl, you'll find neighbourhood scores, resident reviews and data from more than 1,500 sources for every home, so you don't just buy a house but also choose the right neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Landsmeer
The municipality of Landsmeer consists of three cores, each with its own character. Whether you're looking for a detached house by the water or a terraced house within walking distance of shops, there is more variety than you might expect at first glance. Below are the main areas listed.
Landsmeer-dorp, the heart of the municipality
The core of Landsmeer is where most of the activity is. Along the Dorpsstraat, you'll find supermarkets, small shops, GPs and eateries. Primary schools are within cycling distance, and bus line 30 takes you to Amsterdam Noord in twenty minutes. Residents rate the village with an 8.0 on Buurtje.nl, with particularly high scores for accessibility (9.0) and the green environment (9.0). One resident describes it as follows: "Everything is close by, but you still feel like you live in a village." Prices here are around the municipal average, with a mix of 1970s terraced houses, newer semi-detached homes and occasionally a detached house on the Gouw. Families with children make up the largest group of buyers. If you want to see the full supply in this area, you can find it on the neighbourhood page of Landsmeer-dorp.
Den Ilp, rural living by the water
To the north of the village centre lies Den Ilp, a ribbon village along the Ilp. Here you really live in the countryside, with views over meadows and ditches. The homes are generally larger than in the village, and there are relatively many detached houses, which also pushes up prices. Amenities are more limited: for groceries, you drive to Landsmeer or Purmerend. This makes Den Ilp mainly suitable for home-movers and buyers who prioritise space and peace above all else. Accessibility by car is good via the N235, but public transport is less frequent here. Check the housing supply in Den Ilp for current options.
Purmerland, compact and child-friendly
On the eastern side of the municipality, you'll find Purmerland, a small ribbon along the water towards Purmerend. It is the smallest core, with a close-knit community and a village hall that regularly organises activities. The housing stock is limited, so homes rarely come up for sale. When a property does become available, it often sells quickly. Purmerland is popular with young families who appreciate the combination of a safe, green environment and the proximity of Purmerend. Prices vary widely, depending on the location by the water and the plot size.
In addition to these three cores, there are smaller hamlets and ribbons that belong to the municipality. For a complete overview of all neighbourhoods, neighbourhood scores and all reviews of Landsmeer, check the municipal page where residents share their experiences.
What to look out for when buying a home in Landsmeer?
Firstly: be realistic about the supply. With an average of fewer than five transactions per month, the choice is limited. If you specifically want to buy in Landsmeer, it's wise to set your search broadly and respond quickly when something comes on the market. Buying an apartment in Landsmeer is difficult, as the supply mainly consists of single-family homes. Apartments are hardly available.
Secondly: take into account accessibility per neighbourhood. From the village, you are quickly in Amsterdam by bus or bike, but from Den Ilp or Purmerland, you are more dependent on the car. The N235 towards the A10 can be busy during rush hour. Check in advance whether the travel time to your work is acceptable.
Thirdly: look beyond the asking price. With an average income of €43,400 and purchase prices heading towards €800,000, Landsmeer is not for every budget. Consider renting a home in Landsmeer as an intermediate step.
Finally: use the neighbourhood data on Buurtje.nl to compare neighbourhoods on safety, green space, education and amenities. This way, you avoid being surprised afterwards by something you could have known in advance.

Since I moved here, I've had many nice experiences in the neighbourhood. There are plenty of shops for fun things to do, and the sports park and the nature around it are really nice in summer. Lately, the streets have been a bit restless, especially in the evening, due to groups of young people on fatbikes. The houses themselves are not very special; they all look very similar. And it's certainly not a modern style. There is a Facebook group where you hear all sorts of things from the various people in the neighbourhood. Also, if there is a neighbourhood party, for example, you'll find it there.
