Vijfhuizen Omgeving is the rural edge of the village of Vijfhuizen: a quiet, green area with detached homes and spacious plots, surrounded by polder landscape and canals.

The atmosphere is village-like and understated. With 570 residents, it is one of the smallest neighbourhoods in the municipality, and you notice that: everyone knows each other a bit, and the neighbourhood has a sense of community that is rare in larger districts. Residents therefore give the community a remarkable 10 out of 10.
