De Goorn from the inside: quiet, green and strongly family-oriented
De Goorn is not a village that stands out for its hustle and bustle or urban allure. It is a place where people consciously choose to live, often because they seek peace, space and a close-knit community. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years old, accounting for over 1,000 of the nearly 3,825 residents, and families with children are the most common household type. You can feel this in the atmosphere: the streets are quiet, there are primary schools nearby, and there is a local level of amenities that suits a village of this size.
On the neighbourhood page of De Goorn you will find extensive resident reviews and neighbourhood data. Residents particularly appreciate the peace and social cohesion. A recurring theme in the reviews is that neighbours know each other and that the village feels safe, also for families with young children. Residents are less enthusiastic about the limited shopping facilities and the dependence on a car or bicycle for larger groceries. For more extensive amenities, you go to Hoorn or Enkhuizen, both accessible via the N243.
