What does a rental home cost in Mijdrecht? More affordable than the rest of De Ronde Venen
With over 7,000 homes, Mijdrecht is the largest village in the municipality of De Ronde Venen. Of these homes, 39% are rental properties, the majority of which (30% of the total) are owned by housing associations. The private sector is therefore relatively small: only 9% of the stock is offered by other landlords. This explains why only 45 private-sector homes have been rented out in the past twelve months. The average rent in the private sector was €1,530 per month, with a range of €750 to €3,844. The average floor area was 124 m², which works out at around €12.30 per square metre. That may sound steep, but compare it with the rest of the municipality: the average WOZ value in Mijdrecht is €402,000, while the municipal average is €516,000. Renting in Mijdrecht is therefore relatively affordable for the region. However, the average disposable income of €37,600 is below the municipal average of €43,600, so keep that in mind during your search.

Village-like, green and family-friendly, but watch out for traffic
Residents of Mijdrecht rate their village a 7.7 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl. Green spaces (8.2) and the quality of housing (8.3) score notably high. You notice that green character immediately: Mijdrecht lies in the middle of the Groene Hart, surrounded by polders and lakes. Neighbourhoods like Molenland and het Buitengebied offer the wide views that many people from the Randstad dream of. In the heart of the village, around Mijdrecht Dorp, you will find the Dorpsstraat with supermarkets, a Kruidvat, eateries and the weekly market. Resident Rianne confirms this: "There are primary schools and a secondary school. This is very convenient if you are moving here with a family." She does warn that in some places there is a lot of litter on the streets and that more and more nature is disappearing due to new construction.
What comes up in several reviews is the traffic situation. Resident Theo calls it outright a problem: on roads where 30 km/h applies, such as the Viergang, he says "cars, lorries and mopeds drive extremely fast." Fatbikes are also specifically mentioned. This makes some streets less safe for children, despite the otherwise family-friendly atmosphere. The safety score of 6.8 is therefore the lowest sub-score. At the same time, Emery describes the neighbourhood as "very quiet and family-friendly, with friendly neighbours and a school nearby." That contrast typifies Mijdrecht: it is predominantly a nice, village-like village, but with a number of well-known bottlenecks.

In terms of accessibility, Mijdrecht scores a 7.8. There is no train station, but by bus you can reach Breukelen or Amstelveen station in 20 minutes. The N201 towards Amsterdam and the A2 are easily accessible. Families with school-age children benefit from primary schools spread across the village and the Veenlanden College as a secondary school. The municipality of De Ronde Venen invests in public spaces, although the maintenance of some roads and green strips remains a point of attention according to residents. Popular neighbourhoods for renters, besides the Dorp, are Hofland and the quiet district Proostdijland.

Very antisocial next to me.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is very quiet and family-friendly, there is also a school nearby and there are many friendly neighbours.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful neighbourhood, lots of greenery, much too fast driving by all traffic, the maximum speed is only 30 km/h and is hugely exceeded in some places. Behind houses, 3 cars regularly come a few times a week and according to residents, drugs are traded, judging by the packaging left behind. Children play there, but the police do not check despite various reports and video footage that have been offered to the police.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood looks good with various beautiful and nice houses. The number of playing children is increasing, but for them it is very unsafe because the through road Viergang, where a maximum speed of 30 km/h applies, is used as a racetrack by cars, trucks and mopeds. Sometimes there is an electronic speed display, where very often speeds that the user considers normal, such as 60 to even 90 km per hour, are achieved. I have observed this myself when I monitored the speed registration for a while, but no results of the registration findings ever come out. I have often complained about this, but to no avail. My preference is therefore to put many more stickers and signs along and on the road and more higher speed bumps. Also on various remote parking lots behind residential blocks, we have various cars gathering in the evening hours between 10:00 PM and 12:00 AM on Tuesdays and Fridays, and we see on camera that multiple people get into one car and later disappear in all directions, and this happens every week. We have reported this to the police, but as far as we know, nothing has ever been checked about what the youth are up to there. We as a neighbourhood find this worrying. All in all, we hope that the situation on the Viergang improves and that speed-limiting actions are taken, as well as checking what the youngsters are up to on the parking lots.
Auto-translated to English by AIFairly good experience. There are primary schools and a secondary school. This is very convenient if you are going to live here with a family. I do notice that more and more nature is disappearing, which is a shame. Also, in some places there is a lot of rubbish on the streets. The village is very convenient and is easily accessible by bus from most places. Every Thursday there is a market in the village with delicious food. During holidays there are also fun things to find in the village, such as an ice rink at Christmas and a flea market on King's Day. On King's Day there is also always a fair, which does get more expensive every year.
