Living in De Noord, Huizen
De Noord is the northern part of the Oude Dorp district in Huizen, and that is immediately noticeable in the character of the neighbourhood. Here you will find a mix of older single-family homes, detached houses and a limited number of apartments, predominantly built in the 1960s and 1970s. The streets are quiet, the buildings have been around for a while but are well-maintained, and the neighbourhood has a village-suburban character that clearly differs from the more urban new-build districts elsewhere in Huizen.
The age composition says a lot about the atmosphere: the largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old (over 1,000 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (nearly 900). You notice this in the streets: it is quiet, there are few students, and the neighbourhood attracts families in a later phase and seniors rather than young starters. The average income of €42,900 is slightly above the district average and clearly above the municipal average, which partly explains the higher WOZ values and private-sector rents.

Is renting in De Noord right for you?

The private-sector supply is small: only nine homes were rented out in the past twelve months, meaning you need to act quickly when something becomes available. Prepare your documents and respond immediately. For social rent, you can register with housing associations active in the Gooi en Vechtstreek region, but waiting lists are long.
