Buying a home in De Buurt, Venhuizen.
You're looking at a waterfront neighbourhood where the fishing heritage is still alive—the harbour remains working, and the smell of fresh catch still marks the morning air. The homes here are mostly traditional Dutch dwellings with character, many with direct water access or within sight of it. You'll be sharing the streets with families who've been here for generations and newcomers drawn by the peace; the rhythm of the place follows the seasons and the tides. Supermarkets and schools are a short cycle away in Drechterland's town centre, and for bigger needs, Amsterdam is a straightforward 45 minutes by train from nearby stations.

What to consider when buying in De Buurt
Pros:
- Direct waterfront access on the Markermeer; most homes have unobstructed views or are a short walk from the water
- Quiet, car-dependent village setting—no through traffic, no train noise
- Primary school (De Wegwijzer) within walking distance for families with young children
- Ijsselmeer and Markermeer sailing infrastructure nearby; if water sports matter to you, this is built in
Cons:
- No train station in Venhuizen; nearest is Hoorn (7 km away), so commuting to Amsterdam or other cities means driving or a 20+ minute bike ride to the station
- Limited local amenities; groceries and restaurants require a short drive or bike ride to Hoorn or nearby villages
- Highly seasonal tourism pressure in summer; the waterfront and marina fill with visiting boats and day-trippers
- Narrow older streets and limited parking in the historic centre; if you're used to on-street parking, this becomes friction quickly
