Living in Buitendijken Muiderberg, Gooise Meren
Buitendijken Muiderberg is a quiet, green neighbourhood on the edge of the IJmeer, directly bordering the water and the nature areas around Muiderberg. The name says it all: the neighbourhood lies outside the dikes, giving it a particularly open character with wide views and a direct connection to the landscape. It is not a typical residential area full of terraced houses, but rather a looser development with detached homes, villas and small-scale residential ensembles, partly along the water. The atmosphere is rural and peaceful, with a resident population that largely consists of 45- to 65-year-olds and families who have consciously chosen this environment.
Renting in Buitendijken Muiderberg means choosing peace, space and nature, but also accepting that the neighbourhood does not have an extensive range of amenities within walking distance. For daily shopping, residents rely on the nearby village of Muiderberg or Muiden, a few minutes' drive away. In Muiderberg itself, there is a small supermarket, and there are a few catering establishments that benefit from tourism around the beach and marina.
