Very good · 2 residents
Nice surroundings, quiet, convenient location relative to the A44 (though there are various road closures and diversions until 2030 due to bridge replacements). There are no shops, but a mobile shop comes three times a week for last-minute groceries, otherwise you drive to Sassenheim, Lisse or Nieuw-Vennep. Things are regularly organised in both De Buitenkaag and De Kaag, and thanks to that I've already met several villagers, which makes living here pleasant. A local newspaper appears a few times a year with all sorts of useful information and articles about the villages, residents and/or activities. Very handy!

About Huigsloterdijk 410, Buitenkaag
The asking price of €650,000 is in line with the market for a detached house of this size in Buitenkaag. The 160 m² living area and 380 m² plot are generous, but the energy label G means higher running costs. There are no direct comparable sales in the neighbourhood data, so it's best to compare with similar homes in the wider Haarlemmermeer area.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high heating and electricity bills. The house was built in 1940, so it likely has poor insulation and old systems. You may want to budget for improvements like insulation, double glazing or a new heating system.
The nearest train station is 7.6 km away. That's about a 15-minute drive or a longer cycle. Public transport connections are limited, so a car is almost essential for commuting.
There are no shops in Buitenkaag itself. A mobile shop comes three times a week for last-minute groceries. For a full supermarket, you need to drive about 2.5 km to Albert Heijn or 2.7 km to Vomar in nearby villages.
Buitenkaag is a very quiet, rural village with low address density. Residents appreciate the peace and the convenient location near the A44. However, one review mentions issues with racism towards foreigners. The village has a small community with regular local events.
The house was built in 1940, so it's over 80 years old. With an energy label G, it likely needs significant updates to insulation, heating and possibly windows. The listing does not mention recent renovations, so you should factor in modernisation costs.
