Buying a house in Baarn: the housing market in 2026
Baarn lies on the border of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug and Eemland, nestled between forests, estates and polders. This combination of nature and village amenities has been attracting buyers for decades who are looking for space but don't want to be too far from the Randstad. Baarn station offers direct connections to Utrecht (20 minutes) and Amsterdam (45 minutes), and the A1 and A28 are just a few minutes' drive away. With around 25,065 residents, Baarn is large enough for good shops, schools and sports clubs, but small enough to know your neighbour.
The housing market in Baarn is firmly priced. The average purchase price over the past year was €885,455, with a range from €250,000 to €2,595,000. The average WOZ value is €471,000, indicating that transaction prices are well above the valuation. Of the 11,790 homes, 62% are owner-occupied and 38% are rental. Supply is limited: in twelve months, only 99 homes changed hands. This makes the market tight, especially for family homes. At the top of this page you can see the current supply and time on market, so you know exactly how the market stands today. Buurtje.nl aggregates homes from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you look beyond just the asking price.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Baarn
Baarn has several neighbourhoods, each with its own character. From the spacious villa districts around the Baarnse forests to the more compact streets around the centre: the differences in atmosphere, price level and type of resident are significant. Below are the most important neighbourhoods for buyers.
Baarn-Noord, Eemdal and Eemland: spacious living with a view
The northern part of Baarn borders the open polders of Eemland. Here you will find spacious 1970s and 1980s homes, often with large gardens and views over meadows. It is a popular neighbourhood for families and movers seeking peace but wanting to be within cycling distance of the centre. Residents give this neighbourhood a remarkably high score: 8.6 on Buurtje.nl, particularly due to its green character and child-friendly layout. One resident writes: "Quiet neighbourhood with lots of greenery, nice for children and yet close to the station." Prices here are generally slightly below the Baarn average, making it an interesting option for those looking for more square metres. View the housing supply in Baarn-Noord for the current situation.
Baarn centre, village-like but complete
The Baarn neighbourhood includes the centre around Brinkstraat and Laanstraat, with shops, restaurants, the weekly market and the station. Here you will find pre-war townhouses, 1930s semi-detached houses and apartments above shops. The neighbourhood scores a 7.4 from residents, with amenities and accessibility being most highly valued. The downside: parking can be difficult and homes are generally smaller than in the outer districts. For those considering buying an apartment in Baarn, the centre is the most logical place. Prices per square metre are higher here than average. Discover what is currently for sale in the centre.
Lage Vuursche, rural and exclusive
Lage Vuursche is the small, wooded village that belongs to the municipality of Baarn. Known for Kasteel Drakensteyn, but especially loved for its tranquillity and rural character. Here you won't buy a terraced house: the supply consists of detached homes and country houses, often on large plots. Prices are at the upper end of the Baarn market. It is a neighbourhood for buyers who consciously choose peace and are willing to drive to the centre of Baarn for daily errands. View the supply in Lage Vuursche.
P.H.W.park, villa district with allure
Prins Hendrikpark (P.H.W.park) is one of the most famous villa districts in Baarn. Wide avenues, monumental trees and stately villas from the early twentieth century define the streetscape. This is the more expensive segment: purchase prices well above a million are not uncommon here. The neighbourhood attracts buyers who value architecture and a green, quiet living environment. Schools such as the Baarnse Montessorischool are within walking distance. View the homes in P.H.W.park.
Additionally, there is the rural area of Baarn, which scores lower with a 5.5 from residents, partly due to limited amenities and longer travel times. For a complete picture of all neighbourhoods, neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, you can visit the municipality page of Baarn.
What to look out for when buying a home in Baarn?
Firstly: look beyond the centre. Neighbourhoods like Baarn-Noord often offer more space for a lower price per square metre, while you can cycle to the station within ten minutes. Especially for families, this can be a smarter choice than a smaller home in the centre.
Secondly: prepare for competition. With only 99 transactions in a year, supply is tight. Overbidding is common, especially for homes under €600,000. Make sure your financing is in order before you start viewing, and engage a local buying agent who knows the pace of the Baarn market.
Thirdly: pay attention to accessibility per neighbourhood. Baarn station is central, but from Lage Vuursche or the rural area you are dependent on the car. This makes a big difference to your daily commute.
Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and reviews on Buurtje.nl to compare neighbourhoods on points that matter to you, whether that's safety, schools or greenery. Prefer to be flexible? Also check out rental homes in Baarn as an alternative or stepping stone.

Better stay away, then you don't have to witness or experience the dull misery. Nobody misses anything!
Auto-translated to English by AIGreetings from outside. Sometimes have a chat about fireworks, rubbish, dreary weather, cleaned up. Beautiful houses and complex. Lots of nature. I'm busy sowing flower beds for even more wild flowers. It's not in the centre but for me it's fine by bike. I feel safe because I live alone on a gallery, you can't just walk in. There are no busy roads in the immediate vicinity. People know me (in my previous home I never spoke to or greeted anyone). There's no litter. It's a nice house, fairly new, nice interesting architecture. Facilities are easily accessible by bike, or for example with the elderly bus. I can still take the little dog out at night/dark if necessary. It's just that contact doesn't go much further than greetings and a short chat. I've never had to leave my keys inside, except once when I could call the neighbour. My friend had a spare. There's a lot of green... a pond, planting with reeds. Trees. Accessibility? When I cycle, I'm not directly on a busy road. It's really a residential area, meaning shops are not within walking distance. More like cycling distance. I've never heard of any break-ins or anything. People check on me... if I'm okay etc. I also get stuff from neighbours that I can either use or pass on to a give-away shop. Win-win. The communal hall is cleaned every week. When it snowed, someone cleared it. I maintain the flower beds, sow seeds etc. But someone else pruned the ivy from the flower bed by the front door, on their own voluntary initiative. Across the street there are occasional parties with young people, but I don't mind that / it's fun. Go for it. Different cultures live here but no one bites each other. In the hall, people put things they no longer want. You can take them. Recently someone got married, with a flower arch... I spontaneously took a photo. Also of a couple living there. Spontaneous. Nice. I can leave my bike outside. That's all I know. I only have one reason to leave: if I might start living together again.
Auto-translated to English by AIApart from the occasional unsafety in this little village, I couldn't have wished for a better place on earth to live. Villages are always so cosy, and this one is no exception. Everything is accessible and everyone is well provided for. Baarn is beautiful!
Auto-translated to English by AINot much happens in the neighbourhood, but it's always cosy. There's a supermarket and some small snack bars and bakeries. Everyone looks out for each other, without too many arguments or fights. There's police occasionally, it's clean. People can easily reach a school and it's just cosy :)
Auto-translated to English by AIBorn and raised in this neighbourhood where many cultural people and churches come together. Schools and childcare also a large playground.. for children. Community centre and associations also present. Supermarket within walking distance. Also a nice park that is closed at night. And yes also a cemetery and a funeral home in the neighbourhood. Medical centre also there with pharmacy, physio and dentist and GPs. Accessible for everyone. From young to old lives here. People know each other, or not, but that is usually what the person wants themselves. Parking is a bit of an issue, but there is usually a spot. Most houses were built just after the war. Grew quickly until 1980. After that time buildings were replaced or renovated. 3 emergency homes for refugees since this year. This neighbourhood is absolutely not boring or quiet... 24 hours there is movement... I wouldn't want to leave here soon. Public transport unfortunately gone, but maybe that will come back a bit. All in all you can be born here and die. Only downside is that there are hardly any things for young people aged 14 to 21. They then look further than the neighbourhood. But complain about this neighbourhood no I cannot do that. A few more bins and a better mentality in cleaning up could sometimes use a lesson here, but that is more for the municipality.... Also the preservation and protection of greenery could be better from the municipality.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a fine neighbourhood, not very special or very good, but certainly not bad
