The Netherlands is a densely populated European country bordered by Germany and Belgium, with a coastline stretching along the North Sea, the IJsselmeer, and the Markermeer. The highest point in the kingdom is Mount Scenery. Most of the population and economic activity concentrate in the low-lying western and central provinces, where major urban centres support the national economy.
North Holland and South Holland hold the largest share of the housing stock, with Amsterdam in North Holland serving as the most expensive city for home buyers. Utrecht also commands high prices, while South Holland offers more moderate costs in cities like Rotterdam and The Hague. For those seeking cheaper options, the southern province of Limburg offers much lower housing costs. Moving from the expensive northern and central hubs to the southern and eastern provinces brings a significant drop in property prices.
