Living in Rembrandtpark, Gooise Meren
Rembrandtpark is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in Naarden with a distinct villa character. The neighbourhood owes its name to the park-like greenery that runs through it and borders the Naardermeer and the wooded surroundings that typify Naarden. The housing stock consists mainly of detached houses and semi-detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a few luxury apartments. This also explains the high WOZ values: this is not a neighbourhood where you will quickly find an affordable rental apartment.
The average household income of €81,400 per year, more than 50% higher than the municipal average, says a lot about the residents. The largest group consists of families with children (440 households) and a significant proportion of residents are married (42%). Renting in Rembrandtpark is therefore not for everyone, but those who can afford it live in one of the greenest and quietest corners of Gooise Meren.
Facilities in the neighbourhood
Rembrandtpark itself does not have a shopping centre or supermarket within walking distance, but the facilities of Naarden-Vesting and the centre of Naarden are within a short cycling distance. Primary schools in the Naarden area serve the neighbourhood, which suits the large number of children (660 residents aged 0 to 15). For sports and recreation, the location is excellent: the Naardermeer, the forests of Het Gooi and various walking and cycling routes start almost on your doorstep. Sports clubs for tennis, hockey and football can be found in the immediate vicinity of Naarden. For daily shopping, you drive or cycle to the centre of Naarden or to Bussum, where you will find an Albert Heijn and other supermarkets.
Accessibility
Naarden-Bussum station is a few minutes' cycle away and offers direct connections to Amsterdam (approximately 30 minutes), Utrecht and Hilversum. By car, you quickly join the A1 towards Amsterdam and Amersfoort, and the A27 is also easily accessible. The neighbourhood is therefore attractive for commuters who work in the Randstad but want to live outside the city. Parking is generally not a problem in Rembrandtpark: most homes have their own driveway or garage, and paid parking or permit zones do not apply here. Cyclists have a pleasant connection to the historic Naarden Vesting and to the other neighbourhoods of Naarden.
Residents appreciate the peace, space and green surroundings. On the neighbourhood page for Rembrandtpark you can read what residents themselves write about living in this neighbourhood. One resident describes it as: "You live here in the greenery, but Amsterdam is within half an hour. That's really hard to beat when you have a family." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited range of facilities directly in the neighbourhood and the high costs of both buying and renting.
Compared to neighbourhoods such as Tuindorp Keverdijk or Oranje Nassaupark-Noord, Rembrandtpark is more exclusive and quieter, but also more expensive and with a narrower supply of rental properties. If you are looking for a slightly livelier neighbourhood with more shops within walking distance, you might be better off looking in those directions.
Is a rental property in Rembrandtpark right for you?
Rembrandtpark is most suitable for families and dual-income earners with above-average incomes who combine peace, space and greenery with good accessibility to the Randstad. Starters and students will hardly find affordable rental properties in Rembrandtpark: supply is scarce and rental prices in the private sector are high. There are no social rental properties, and registering with a housing association will not help you in this neighbourhood. Respond quickly if you see something: the number of available rental properties is limited and homes are usually rented out quickly. Make sure you have your income documents and references ready. If renting turns out to be too expensive, the owner-occupied homes in Rembrandtpark are an alternative to explore, although purchase prices here are also high.
