Living in Bovenmaat Noord, Huizen

Bovenmaat Noord is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the north side of the Bovenmaten district in Huizen. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1960s and 1970s and consists mainly of single-family homes: terraced houses and semi-detached houses, supplemented by a limited number of apartment blocks and ground-floor rental homes. The streets are spacious, there is plenty of greenery, and the building density is relatively low for a Gooise municipality. This gives Bovenmaat Noord a village-like, relaxed character that clearly differs from the busier Oude Dorp or the more urban feel of Westereng.

The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (over 1,000 residents), but families with children are also well represented: 555 households have children. This is reflected in the layout of the neighbourhood.
