Vesting Muiden, Gooise Meren
NeighbourhoodThis brand-new apartment on Hellingstraat sits within the fortified walls of Vesting Muiden, a neighbourhood where 17th-century ramparts meet modern living. At €2,075,000, the price is on the high side, reflecting the premium for a newly built home in a sought-after historic setting. For context, you can compare this with other apartments in Gooise Meren.
Vesting Muiden is a compact, car-free enclave surrounded by water and green ramparts. With 1,220 residents, it feels intimate and quiet. Most homes are owner-occupied (58%), and three-quarters are single-family houses, so apartments like this one are rare. The population is mixed: many over-45s, but also a fair share of families and young adults. One resident says: "Living here is like being on holiday every day, the views over the water and the fortress walls are unique." Another notes: "It's incredibly peaceful, yet you're never far from Amsterdam." The neighbourhood Vesting Muiden has a village-like atmosphere with a strong sense of community.
For your morning bread, the SPAR is just around the corner, and the Albert Heijn XL is a ten-minute walk away. Two primary schools are within a couple of streets away: Jozefschool Muiden and Kindcentrum Muiderkring. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and the park or public garden is just a couple of streets away. The municipality Gooise Meren offers a blend of historic charm and modern amenities.

About Hellingstraat 48, Muiden
The price is on the high side, but this is a brand-new apartment (built in 2025) with an A+++ energy label, meaning very low energy costs. The historic Vesting Muiden location is unique and highly desirable, which justifies the premium. Without comparable sales data in the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say exactly, but new-build homes in such settings typically command a premium.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with excellent insulation and likely features like a heat pump and solar panels. Your heating and electricity bills will be very low, and the home has a minimal environmental footprint.
