Living in Buitendijken Muiderberg, Gooise Meren

Buitendijken Muiderberg is a neighbourhood you won't easily forget once you've been there. The name says it all: this is the part of Muiderberg that lies outside the traditional dikes, directly on the water of the IJmeer and Markermeer.

Those who live here consciously choose the combination of space, nature and a certain distance from the hustle and bustle of the Randstad.

The housing stock largely consists of ground-floor homes, including detached houses and semi-detached houses, partly built in the 1970s and 1980s, but also with newer buildings along the waterfront. The plots are generally larger than those in the surrounding districts.
