Legmeer: family district with a village character and short lines
Legmeer feels like a district that doesn't need to prove itself. It's not a trendy neighbourhood with barista coffee on every corner, but a place where you know your neighbour by name and where children play in the street. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and with 1,625 households with children, it is clearly a family district. You can tell from the atmosphere: quiet during the day, lively around school times at the primary schools, and quiet in the evenings. Residents mention on the district page of Legmeer mainly the peace and greenery as plus points. "You can cycle along the Amstel in no time, but you also have everything you need close by," writes one resident.
In terms of amenities, Legmeer is self-sufficient enough for daily shopping. The Zijdelwaard shopping centre is within cycling distance, and along the Laan van Meerwijk you will find various shops and services. Accessibility is a point of attention: Uithoorn does not have a train station, so you are dependent on the bus (line 170 to Amstelveenlijn/Amsterdam) or the car via the N201. During rush hour, the latter can be quite a struggle. Residents who commute to Amsterdam daily regularly mention this as a downside.
The neighbourhood Legmeer itself varies from the slightly older terraced houses from the 1970s and 1980s to newer parts towards the south. The energy consumption (average 2,820 kWh electricity and 830 m³ gas) is relatively modest, which indicates that many homes are now reasonably insulated. If you compare Legmeer with adjacent districts, Thamerdal is slightly more compact and urban, while Langs de Vuurlinie is even greener and more spacious. Dorpscentrum attracts renters who prefer to be in the middle of the village, closer to restaurants and shops.
Renting in Legmeer: suitable for families, less so for starters
With an average rent of €2,385 per month in the free sector, a rental home in Legmeer is mainly affordable for dual-income earners and families with an above-average income. The large floor areas and the child-friendly layout make it attractive for young families who do not yet want or cannot buy. For starters and singles, the price level in the free sector is often too high, unless you can rent a smaller apartment at the lower end of the market. Waiting times for social housing via the housing association are long, as everywhere in the region. If you would rather buy, check out the supply of homes for sale in Legmeer, because with 64% owner-occupied homes, the choice is greater there. For those looking for more urban buzz, renting a home in nearby Zijdelwaard is an alternative.
