De Zuid, Huizen
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Valkenaarstraat 66 in Huizen has a lovely old-fashioned feel, with its 1882 construction and generous 270 m² plot. The 79 m² floor area is compact, but the garden, a real bonus, makes up for it. The price of €485,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average, sitting 28% below the average asking price of €675,833. That puts it in a different league from most end-of-terrace houses in Huizen, which tend to be larger and more expensive.
De Zuid is a calm residential area with a mix of ages, many residents are 45-plus, and there are plenty of families too. The streets are lined with pre-war houses, and the neighbourhood has a settled, unhurried atmosphere. With 87% single-family homes and a strong owner-occupied rate, it feels established and well cared for. The urbanity level is high (address density 2198), but it doesn't feel hectic. For a sense of what it's like to live here, the De Zuid neighbourhood page has more detail.
Your morning bread run is a two-minute walk to SPAR express, just around the corner. Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are also within a five-minute stroll. For school runs, the Erfgooiers College secondary school is a couple of streets away, and several primary schools, PCBS Van der Brugghenschool, PCBS Beatrixschool and dr. Maria Montessorischool, are within a ten-minute walk. The municipality of Huizen keeps the area tidy and well served, with a GP, park and library all close by.

About Valkenaarstraat 66, Huizen
The asking price of €485,000 is 28% below the average asking price in De Zuid (€675,833) and also below the median of €592,500. Given the compact 79 m² floor area and the old energy label G, the price reflects the home's character and the large plot. It's a keen price for an end-of-terrace house in this neighbourhood.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy efficient. Heating costs will be high, and the property likely lacks modern insulation or double glazing. In De Zuid, 42.9% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older house. You should expect to spend on heating and consider improvements.
The plot is 270 m², which is generous for an end-of-terrace house. The garden is not described in detail, but the size suggests plenty of outdoor space. Given the house was built in 1882, the garden is likely mature and could be a real asset.
De Zuid has a mix of households: about 430 with children and 360 without, plus many singles. There are several primary schools within walking distance and a secondary school just around the corner. The area is quiet and safe, with only 54 total crimes reported. It's a family-friendly neighbourhood with a settled feel.
The nearest train station is 6.5 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, car or bus to reach it. The area is better suited for those who drive or work locally.
SPAR express is just 215 m away, Albert Heijn at 323 m, and Ekoplaza at 367 m, all within a five-minute walk. Lidl and PLUS are a bit further, at 801 m and 978 m respectively. Daily shopping is very convenient.
The price is below the neighbourhood average, and the large plot adds value. However, the energy label G and old construction mean renovation costs could be significant. The market in De Zuid is active, 25 homes sold recently with an average selling price of €762,300, so demand is there. It's a character home with potential.
