Homes for sale in Noord, Hoorn

Purchase prices in Noord: what did you pay last year?

The purchase market in Noord, a neighbourhood in the north of Hoorn, is limited in size but not uninteresting. Over the past twelve months, one home was sold in this neighbourhood, with an average purchase price of €389,000 and a living area of 256 m². This indicates a spacious, detached or semi-detached home, not a typical starter property. By comparison, the average WOZ value in the municipality of Hoorn is €333,000, meaning the realised sale level in Noord is slightly above that. For an up-to-date picture of current supply, the average asking price and time to sell, you can refer to the overview at the top of this page. It is updated daily.

Because the number of transactions is low, firm conclusions about trends are difficult to draw. Anyone seriously looking for a home to buy in Noord would do well to follow the market for a while and also look at supply in adjacent neighbourhoods such as Hoorn-Noord or Grote Waal.

Living in Noord: what kind of neighbourhood is this actually?

Noord is a relatively quiet residential neighbourhood on the north side of Hoorn, with a predominantly green and spacious character. The housing stock largely consists of single-family homes, many from the 1970s and 1980s, with large plots and a lower building density than you find in the Binnenstad or the Venenlaan-kwartier. This makes the neighbourhood attractive for people seeking space without leaving the city entirely.

For more about the atmosphere and daily life in the neighbourhood, read the neighbourhood page for Noord, where residents share their experiences. Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space, and the relatively green surroundings. A common point is that local shopping facilities are limited: for a supermarket or a wider range of shops, you need to go to other parts of Hoorn. Those with a car find this no problem. Those who prefer to shop on foot should take this into account. A similar situation applies to schools: primary schools are accessible in the immediate vicinity of the neighbourhood, but for secondary education you quickly look to other neighbourhoods or the centre.

In terms of accessibility, Noord scores reasonably. Hoorn station is a few kilometres away and easily reachable by bike or car. From that station, you can travel to Amsterdam Centraal in about 35 to 40 minutes. The connection to the A7 towards Amsterdam and the A9 via the N506 is well organised. Bus services run along the main roads in the area, although frequency is lower outside peak hours. The Zevenhuis neighbourhood also falls within the Noord district and has a similar living environment. For those also considering renting, there is a separate overview of rental properties in Noord available.

For whom is buying in Noord a good choice?

Buying in Noord best suits movers or people who already own a home and are looking for more space and peace. The realised sale price of €389,000 for a home of 256 m² suggests this is not about starter homes. First-time buyers or those with a tighter budget would be better off looking at other neighbourhoods or comparing with the broader supply of homes for sale in Hoorn. Also take into account additional costs: transfer tax (2% for non-starters), notary fees and any structural survey can quickly add up to several thousand euros on top of the purchase price. Supply in Noord is limited, so patience is required.
