Living in 't Goyse Dorp, Houten

't Goyse Dorp is one of the smallest and most rural neighbourhoods in the municipality of Houten. With only 120 residents, it is not a district in the traditional sense, but rather an old village with its own character that bears no resemblance to the new-build estates for which Houten is known. The housing stock consists largely of detached houses and villas on spacious plots, surrounded by meadows and greenery. The atmosphere is quiet, almost rural, and social cohesion is strong among the predominantly established residents.

The population is notably composed: half of the residents are between 45 and 65 years old, and a quarter are 65 or older. Young families and starters are hardly represented here. Most households are without children and 52% of residents are married. This gives 't Goyse Dorp a quiet, mature character that differs greatly from the liveliness of, for example, Houten Noord-West or Houten Noord-Oost.
