Living in Buitengebied Biddinghuizen, Dronten

The rural area of Biddinghuizen is exactly what its name promises: rural, spacious and quiet. You live here among the fields, forest edges and polder ditches of Flevoland. It is not a neighbourhood with pavements and street lighting every twenty metres, but an area where your neighbours sometimes live a few hundred metres away. The homes range from post-war agricultural company houses and converted farmhouses to newer detached houses built from the 1980s onwards. In addition, you will find holiday homes and semi-permanent residences on and around holiday parks such as the Veluwemeer area.

In terms of amenities, you rely on the core of Biddinghuizen. There you will find Boni supermarket, De Wingerd primary school, a GP practice and a number of eateries. For more extensive shopping or secondary education, you drive to Dronten (about 15 minutes) or Harderwijk (20 minutes via the N302). For sports, there are plenty of opportunities in the immediate vicinity: Golfclub Dorhout Mees, water sports on the Veluwemeer and the Flevoparkbos for walkers and cyclists. The Walibi theme park and event grounds are literally in this rural area, which can cause extra traffic congestion during major events such as Lowlands.

Accessibility is typical for a polder rural area: fine by car via the N302 and N305, but public transport is limited. Bus line 148 (Lelystad-Harderwijk) stops in the core, but from the rural area you first have to cycle or drive to a stop. The nearest train station is Dronten, about 15 kilometres away. Without a car, living here is difficult, that is honestly the biggest limitation.

The population largely consists of households aged 45 to 65 (550 of the 1,530 residents). The average income of €38,300 is above the municipal average, and 34% are highly educated. These are mainly established families and movers who consciously choose space and tranquillity here. Single-person households, with 255, form the largest group, which is partly related to older people living alone on the larger plots.

Residents particularly appreciate the tranquillity and green character. "In the morning you only hear the birds and occasionally a tractor," wrote a resident in a review. Criticisms almost always concern the limited accessibility by public transport and the fact that you need the car for everything. On the neighbourhood page of Buitengebied Biddinghuizen you can read all reviews and scores per category. If you compare this rural area with the core, neighbourhoods such as Centrum Biddinghuizen and De Baan offer more within walking distance amenities, but of course less space and privacy.

Is a home for sale in Buitengebied Biddinghuizen right for you?

Buying a home in Buitengebied Biddinghuizen is particularly interesting for movers and families looking for space, wanting a garden and not afraid of car dependency. The wide price range also makes it possible for starters with a slightly higher budget to find a home here, especially at the lower end of the market around €120,000 to €200,000 for smaller or renovation properties. For seniors, the distance to amenities may become a disadvantage in the long term. Keep in mind that popular properties in this segment sell quickly. If you prefer to rent, you can turn to rental homes in the rural area, although the supply there is limited due to the lack of housing association properties.
