A grand apartment on the Herengracht
This apartment on the Herengracht sits in the heart of Muiden's historic fortified town, where the streets are lined with centuries-old buildings and the marina is a short stroll away. With 120 square metres of living space, the home has a generous feel, and the A+ energy label is a strong point for a building from 1750. The asking rent of €2,950 is about 12% below the neighbourhood average of €3,350, so it is keenly priced for the area. For context, this is one of the apartments in Gooise Meren currently on the market.
The Vesting Muiden neighbourhood
Vesting Muiden is a compact, historic neighbourhood with just over 1,200 residents, and the mix of ages is fairly even, with a noticeable share of older residents. Many households are single people, and the average household size is small, which suits the character of a fortified town. The streets are quiet and the atmosphere is relaxed, with the castle and the water always close by. One resident says: "It feels like living in a small village, but with everything you need within reach." Another notes: "The community is friendly and the surroundings are beautiful." These are based on two reviews, so they give a flavour rather than a full picture. This is the Vesting Muiden neighbourhood as it is today.
Life on the street
The daily routine here is easy. The Jozefschool Muiden is just around the corner, and Kindcentrum Muiderkring is a five-minute walk, so school runs are simple. For groceries, the nearest supermarkets are a short drive away, with an Albert Heijn and a SPAR within a few kilometres. The town centre, with its cafés and the harbour, is on your doorstep, and the train station is about 3.6 kilometres away. This is all part of the municipality of Gooise Meren, which stretches from the waterfront to the surrounding countryside.

Frequently asked questions
About Herengracht 76B, Muiden
Is €2,950 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €2,950 is about 12% below the average of €3,350 for rental homes in Vesting Muiden. With 120 square metres, that works out at roughly €24.60 per square metre, which is below the neighbourhood average of €28.29. Given the historic setting and the A+ energy label, the price looks competitive for what is on offer.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A+, which is the most efficient label a home can have. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs. The label is an official registration, and it reflects the overall energy performance of the property.
How far is the nearest school?
The Jozefschool Muiden is just 72 metres away, so it is literally on your doorstep. Kindcentrum Muiderkring is about 569 metres away, a five-minute walk. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 4.6 kilometres away, so that would involve a longer journey.
What supermarkets are nearby?
The nearest supermarkets are all within a few kilometres. The closest is an Albert Heijn at about 3.2 kilometres, followed by another Albert Heijn, a SPAR, an AH XL and a Dekamarkt, all within roughly 3.3 kilometres. For daily shopping, you would likely drive or cycle, as the historic centre has limited large stores.
How is the neighbourhood for daily life?
Vesting Muiden is a quiet, historic neighbourhood with a small population of around 1,200. Many residents live alone, and the age mix is fairly balanced, with a notable share of people over 65. The streets are calm, and the castle and harbour add to the character. It feels more like a village than a suburb.
What is the train station distance?
The nearest train station is about 3.6 kilometres from the apartment. That is a short drive or a longer cycle, and it gives you a rail connection for travel beyond Muiden. The exact station is not named in the listing, but the distance is as stated.
