Buying a house in Uitgeest: the housing market in 2026
Uitgeest is one of those North Holland villages you might not immediately think of, but that's precisely what makes it so interesting for buyers. It lies nestled between the Uitgeestermeer and the Alkmaardermeer, a stone's throw from Beverwijk and Heemskerk, yet it feels remarkably rural. With around 13,400 residents, it's compact enough to know everyone at the baker's, but large enough for good amenities. The train connection to Amsterdam (about 35 minutes) and Alkmaar makes it popular with commuters who prefer peace and quiet over city bustle.
The housing market in Uitgeest is predominantly owner-occupied: 73% of the more than 5,600 homes are owner-occupied. The average WOZ value is €447,000 and the average selling price over the past year came to €502,989, with a range of €275,000 to €985,000. The average living area is 116 m², indicating many single-family homes and terraced houses. The market is quite tight: not many homes become available and the village is popular with families from the region. At the top of this page you'll find the current listings and the latest market figures. Buurtje.nl aggregates homes from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you choose not just a house but also the right neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Uitgeest
Uitgeest as a municipality is relatively compact and officially has one main district, but within the village there are clear neighbourhoods each with their own character. Below are the most important areas for home seekers.
Uitgeest-centrum, the beating heart of the village
The centre around the Middelweg and Langebuurt is where you'll find most amenities: supermarkets, the library, GPs and a handful of eateries. The homes here are varied, from characteristic 1930s houses to newer apartments. Residents on Buurtje.nl give the neighbourhood Uitgeest an overall score of 7.5, with notably high ratings for community spirit (9.0) and beauty (9.0). One resident describes it as follows: "The community is close-knit, you greet each other on the street and there's always something going on in the village." For those who value a village feel within walking distance of shops, the centre is a logical choice. Prices here are around the municipal average.
Waldijk and surroundings, peaceful living by the water
North of the centre, towards the Uitgeestermeer, you'll find the neighbourhood around the Waldijk. This is a more spacious area with detached and semi-detached homes, popular with upsizers and families looking for space. The proximity of the lake and surrounding greenery makes it attractive for those who enjoy walking or cycling. Homes here generally fall into the higher segment of the price range.

Kleis and De Koog, affordable for starters
On the south side of Uitgeest lie the neighbourhoods of Kleis and De Koog, where you'll find relatively more terraced houses and starter homes. Prices here are often below the village average of €502,989, making these neighbourhoods interesting for starters and young families. Primary school De Springschans is around the corner and via the Castricummerweg you're quickly on the N203 towards the A9. It's less picturesque than the centre, but practical and affordable.
Rural area and ribbon development, space and privacy
Uitgeest has an extensive rural area with scattered ribbon development along roads such as the Geesterweg and Lagerdijk. Here you'll find larger plots and detached homes, sometimes with agricultural origins. This segment is scarce and pricey, with asking prices creeping towards the top of the range (€985,000). It's a niche for buyers who consciously choose space and are willing to live a bit further from amenities.
Want to see all ratings and scores per neighbourhood? On the page with all reviews of Uitgeest you'll find detailed information from residents themselves. Because Uitgeest officially has one district, the sub-scores give a good picture of the entire village: safety scores 8.0, accessibility 8.0 and education 7.0.
What to look out for when buying a home in Uitgeest?
Firstly: pay close attention to the differences within the village. The centre offers convenience, but the neighbourhoods on the outskirts are often quieter and sometimes more affordable. Those considering buying an apartment in Uitgeest should know that supply is limited. The village largely consists of single-family homes, so apartments are scarce and sell quickly.
Secondly: the market is tight. With only 46 homes sold in the past year, turnover is low. Overbidding occurs, especially for well-maintained family homes. Make sure your financing is in order before viewing, because those who hesitate lose out.
Thirdly: check accessibility from the specific neighbourhood. Station Uitgeest is centrally located, but from the rural area you won't get there in five minutes. The N203 towards the A9 can be busy during rush hour. Those who commute daily to Amsterdam or Alkmaar would do well to test the travel time in practice.
Finally: use neighbourhood data to make a well-informed choice. On Buurtje.nl you can compare scores per neighbourhood on safety, green space, amenities and more. That gives a fairer picture than just a viewing on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Are you also considering renting a home in Uitgeest? Then it's certainly worth a look, although the rental supply at 27% of the stock is more limited.
What residents say about living in Uitgeest
Residents rate Uitgeest with a 7.5 out of 10. The highest scores go to community spirit and beauty, both a 9.0. That fits the image of a close-knit village where people consciously choose to live. The lowest scores are for amenities and housing (both 6.0), which is logical: the shopping offer is limited and the housing market is tight. A resident of Uitgeest sums it up: "Beautiful surroundings and lovely people, but for extensive shopping you have to go to Beverwijk or Alkmaar." View all reviews of Uitgeest for the full picture.
