Havenbuurt en Kerkbuurt, Waterland
NeighbourhoodThis 1935 terraced house on Buurterstraat sits in the heart of the old island village, where the streets are narrow and the atmosphere is unmistakably maritime. With 77 m² of living space and a 114 m² plot, it is compact but has its own front door and a small patch of ground, rare in a village where space is at a premium. The energy label G means heating costs will be high, but the asking price of €250,000 is keen compared to other terraced houses in Waterland.
This is the historic core of Marken, a car-free peninsula where life moves at a different pace. The neighbourhood Havenbuurt en Kerkbuurt has 1,635 residents, many of them older, nearly a third are 65 or over, and most homes are owner-occupied. It is a quiet, tight-knit community with few cars and plenty of water views. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner. The nearest primary school, De Rietlanden, is on your doorstep, and there is a GP within a five-minute walk. For secondary school or a library, you will need to travel further afield, the nearest secondary school is 8.7 km away. The municipality Waterland covers a wide area, so a car is handy for most errands beyond the village.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Hoekstra en van Eck.

About Buurterstraat 21, Marken
Given the compact size and energy label G, the price is on the low side compared to similar homes in Waterland. The lack of recent sales data in the immediate neighbourhood makes it hard to benchmark precisely, but for a historic village property with its own plot, it is a competitive entry point.
Label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect high heating costs, especially in winter. The house was built in 1935 and likely has single glazing and poor insulation. Budgeting for energy upgrades would be sensible, though the exact savings depend on the measures you choose.
The nearest train station is 19.3 km away, so Marken is not well connected by rail. Most residents rely on a car or bus for longer journeys. The bus to Amsterdam-Noord takes about 30 minutes, but the station distance means commuting by train is impractical.
Yes, primary school De Rietlanden is just 140 metres away, making it very convenient for families with young children. For secondary education, the nearest school is 8.7 km away in Monnickendam, so a daily commute is required.
Albert Heijn is 345 metres away, so groceries are within easy walking distance. For a wider selection, Dekamarkt and other supermarkets are about 4.4 km away in Monnickendam. There is also a restaurant 400 metres from the house.
With 77 m² and two or three bedrooms (the layout is not specified), it is compact for a family. The 114 m² garden offers outdoor space, but the energy label G means running costs could be high. It might work for a small family, but space is limited.
