Renting in Bijvanck: a tight private sector with a low entry price
Bijvanck is a neighbourhood where renting and buying are almost in balance: 49% of the approximately 973 homes are rented, 51% are owner-occupied. Strikingly, the vast majority of rental properties are owned by housing associations (46%), while the private sector accounts for just under 3%. Anyone looking for a rental home in Bijvanck outside social housing therefore has little choice. In the past twelve months, only 2 homes were rented in the private sector, with an average rent of €794 per month for an average of 68 m². The range ran from €363 to €1,225 per month. These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing. For current rents and daily listings, please consult the overview at the top of this page. The WOZ value in Bijvanck is €345,000, well below the municipal average of €448,000 for Huizen. This makes Bijvanck relatively affordable, but the supply is correspondingly limited.
Bijvanck: a neighbourhood that is quietly ageing
Bijvanck is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its bustle or lively centre. The largest age group consists of those aged 65 and over (nearly 600 of the more than 2,000 residents), and you can feel that in the atmosphere. The streets are quiet, the gardens well-kept, and contact between neighbours is generally present. Single-person households are the most common, but at the same time 42% of residents are married. It is a neighbourhood that stays true to itself: no major changes, no sudden influx of new groups.
On the neighbourhood page of Bijvanck you will find resident reviews and extensive neighbourhood data. Residents describe the neighbourhood as quiet and green, with appreciation for the space and low traffic levels. A recurring point of criticism is the limited range of amenities within walking distance and the reliance on a car for daily shopping. Anyone used to a lively neighbourhood with shops around the corner will have to adjust in Bijvanck. Accessibility by public transport is moderate; for a train connection you are dependent on Naarden-Bussum or Hilversum station. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Bijvanck would do well to also look at the sub-neighbourhoods: Bijvanck Noord and the quieter Bijvanck West each have their own character and sometimes a different supply.
The average income in Bijvanck is €33,200, significantly lower than the municipal average of €40,600. The labour participation rate of 59% fits the older population composition. The neighbourhood has a solid, modest appearance without pretension. Not a trend-sensitive hotspot, but also not a problem neighbourhood.
Renting in Bijvanck: who is this suitable for, and who is it not?
Bijvanck mainly appeals to people who are looking for peace, have no need for a vibrant nightlife and are perfectly fine with a car as a means of transport. Elderly people, peace seekers and those with a preference for a clear living environment generally feel at home here. For young starters or families with young children who depend on public transport or daily amenities within walking distance, renting a home in Bijvanck is less obvious. The private sector supply is also simply too small to count on. In that case, consider homes for sale in Bijvanck as an alternative, or look at the broader rental homes in Huizen for more choice.
