Living in De Noord, Huizen
De Noord is, as the name suggests, in the northern part of Huizen, bordering the greenery of the Hoornse Hop and the Goois Natuurreservaat. This largely determines the character of the neighbourhood: it is quiet, green and spacious, without feeling far from everything. The housing stock is mostly from the 1960s and 1970s, with wide streets, front gardens and plenty of space between houses. Towards the forest edge, larger detached homes on spacious plots offer a very different living feel compared to the more terraced housing in the southern part of the neighbourhood.
Daily shopping can be done quickly at the nearby 't Overkwartier shopping centre or at the supermarkets on Naarderstraat. For a wider range of shops, you can cycle to Huizen town centre in fifteen minutes. Children in the neighbourhood attend De Windwijzer primary school or one of the other schools in the immediate area. For sports, the location on the edge of the green offers many opportunities: running, cycling and walking in the Goois Natuurreservaat are literally around the corner for residents. De Zandzee swimming pool and various sports clubs in Huizen are within a few minutes' reach.
In terms of accessibility, De Noord relies on the car or bicycle for the first leg. Bus stops in the neighbourhood connect you to Huizen town centre and surrounding municipalities. Naarden-Bussum station is about five to ten minutes' drive away and offers fast connections to Amsterdam Centraal (around 30 minutes) and Utrecht. Via the A1 and A27, both a short distance away, you are quickly on the motorway. Parking is not a problem on most streets, which residents cite as a clear plus point.
Residents particularly appreciate De Noord for its peace and green surroundings. On the neighbourhood main page of De Noord you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "You live here on the edge of the forest, but the motorway and station are still quickly reachable. That's the combination you won't easily find elsewhere." What comes back less positively in reviews is the limited range of eateries in the neighbourhood itself and the reliance on the car for larger shopping trips. Compared to the more southerly De Zuid, De Noord is greener and quieter, but also a bit less lively. Compared to districts such as Westereng or Erica en Tafelberg, De Noord stands out for its direct proximity to nature and its generally larger homes.
For whom is buying in De Noord a good choice?
De Noord mainly attracts families and those aged 45 and over who are looking for space, peace and greenery. The largest age group in the neighbourhood is 45 to 65 years, followed by those over 65, which confirms its quiet character. With an average purchase price of over €759,000, this is not a starter neighbourhood: first-time buyers would be better off looking at buying an apartment in De Noord or at neighbourhoods with a lower entry level. Movers with a larger budget looking for a detached house or spacious semi-detached home are in the right place here. Be honest about the market: supply is limited and popular homes sell quickly. Consult a local estate agent about the current overbidding situation. If you find the purchase prices too high, you could also look at rental homes in De Noord as an alternative.
