Renting in Meerwijk: a small private sector with hefty prices
Of all homes in Meerwijk, only 26% are rental properties. The majority of the housing stock (74%) consists of owner-occupied homes, which keeps the supply for tenants limited. Most rental properties are owned by a housing association (21%), while private landlords account for only a small share (5%). The private sector is therefore scarce. Over the past twelve months, nineteen homes were rented out in the private sector (excluding social housing and rooms), with an average rent of €2,235 per month and a range of €1,450 to €3,250 per month. The average floor area was 124 m², indicating that these are mainly larger homes. The WOZ value in Meerwijk is €456,000, clearly above the municipal average of €427,000 for Uithoorn. This higher price level is also noticeable in the rental market. For current rental prices and availability, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
Meerwijk: quiet family neighbourhood with high green score and a critical note on accessibility
Meerwijk is a neighbourhood best described as an average Randstad family neighbourhood with a green character. On the Meerwijk neighbourhood page, there is a resident score of 8.0 out of 10, based on reviews from people who live or have lived there. The neighbourhood scores notably high on green space (9.2) and safety (8.6), which fits the image of a quiet, well-organised area. The beauty of the neighbourhood also receives a good rating (8.4), and community spirit is valued at 8.0.
Resident Ryan describes the area positively and mentions the presence of several supermarkets and a good Italian-Turkish restaurant as plus points. At the same time, it is striking that he also notes the engine noises on the street, indicating that it is not always quiet. Resident Jessy is more moderate: she finds it a nice place to grow up, but adds a serious caveat regarding connections to other places. Accessibility scores the lowest of all categories at 7.4, and this seems to be recognised by several residents. Uithoorn has no train station, and those dependent on public transport notice this. Moreover, there is little for young people to do, according to Jessy. This picture is confirmed by the scores for amenities (7.2) and education (7.0), the two lowest-scoring categories.
Demographically, Meerwijk is clearly a neighbourhood of families and those aged 50 and over. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (1,910 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (1,110). Young families are present (965 households with children), but the neighbourhood is ageing. Those looking for a lively city centre can also look at the Dorpscentrum of Uithoorn, or the nearby neighbourhood Thamerdal. Zijdelwaard and Legmeer are also worth exploring if you want to compare more options within the municipality. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Uithoorn.
Renting in Meerwijk: who is this suitable for, and who not?
Meerwijk is most suitable for families and those seeking peace and quiet who appreciate space, greenery and a safe environment and are willing to pay a higher rent for it. Renting in Meerwijk in the private sector quickly means a rental home of over €2,000 per month. For starters or people with a smaller budget, this is a barrier. Those looking for a social rental property face limited supply and likely a waiting period. If you are more interested in ownership, check out the supply of homes for sale in Meerwijk, as 74% of the housing stock consists of owner-occupied homes. Young people and those without a car may experience the limited accessibility as a disadvantage.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a lovely neighbourhood to live in and fun to grow up in, but the connection to other places is very poor and there's little for young people to do to develop themselves.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe people in the neighbourhood are all very kind and polite, and nothing unpleasant ever happens. Waste is properly separated and cleaned up, and there is quite a lot of greenery. However, I would like to see more variety in plants for biodiversity.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn front of our house it's beautifully green. Sometimes you see turtles ? or hedgehogs ? walking in front of our house. In terms of green/nature, living in De Kwakel is fantastic.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived there for a year and I generally think Meerwijk is beautiful! I feel comfortable with all my neighbours and a few students from the KKC who live here. Everyone is kind and welcoming to me.
