Buying a house in De Ronde Venen: the housing market in 2026
De Ronde Venen is a green municipality in the heart of the province of Utrecht, consisting of a ring of villages around the Vinkeveense Plassen. With over 45,800 residents, the municipality offers a village character within cycling distance of Utrecht and with good connections to Amsterdam and Amstelveen. This makes De Ronde Venen popular with families and movers seeking space without completely leaving the city. The housing market is strong: 66% of the nearly 18,900 homes are owner-occupied, and the average WOZ value is €516,000. In the past twelve months, 404 homes were sold for an average purchase price of €823,513, with a range of €187,500 to €5,650,000. This wide spread is due to the difference between compact starter homes in Mijdrecht and waterfront villas in Vinkeveen. Supply is relatively tight, especially in the popular segment under six hundred thousand euros. At the top of this page you will find the current housing supply with the latest asking prices and selling times. On Buurtje.nl you can view the neighbourhood score and resident reviews for each home, so you can compare not only on price but also on liveability.

Abcoude, the northern gateway
Abcoude feels different from the rest of De Ronde Venen. It has its own train station on the Utrecht-Amsterdam line, making it popular with commuters.

Anyone looking for a home here needs to act quickly. Discover the current supply in Abcoude.
In addition to these four cores, there are other interesting options. Baambrugge is small and rural, with ribbon development along the water. Amstelhoek lies hidden on the Amstel and offers peace for those seeking it. And Waverveen and De Hoef are the smallest cores, where you can get a lower price per square metre.

What to look out for when buying a home in De Ronde Venen?
Firstly: the price differences between the villages are large. A terraced house in Wilnis can be hundreds of thousands of euros cheaper than a comparable home in Vinkeveen or Abcoude. So look carefully at which village suits your budget and lifestyle, not just the municipality name. Secondly: the market is tight in the segment up to six hundred thousand euros. Be prepared for overbidding, especially in Abcoude and Mijdrecht centre. Make sure your financing is in order before you go viewing. Thirdly: accessibility varies greatly per core. Abcoude has a train station, but from Wilnis or De Hoef you are dependent on the car or bus. Check if that fits your daily commute. Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and reviews on Buurtje.nl to compare how residents experience safety, amenities and green space in their village. That gives a fairer picture than just a street view during the viewing. Looking for flexibility? Also check out a rental home in De Ronde Venen as an intermediate step.

Very antisocial next to me.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is very quiet and family-friendly, there is also a school nearby and there are many friendly neighbours.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful neighbourhood, lots of greenery, much too fast driving by all traffic, the maximum speed is only 30 km/h and is hugely exceeded in some places. Behind houses, 3 cars regularly come a few times a week and according to residents, drugs are traded, judging by the packaging left behind. Children play there, but the police do not check despite various reports and video footage that have been offered to the police.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood looks good with various beautiful and nice houses. The number of playing children is increasing, but for them it is very unsafe because the through road Viergang, where a maximum speed of 30 km/h applies, is used as a racetrack by cars, trucks and mopeds. Sometimes there is an electronic speed display, where very often speeds that the user considers normal, such as 60 to even 90 km per hour, are achieved. I have observed this myself when I monitored the speed registration for a while, but no results of the registration findings ever come out. I have often complained about this, but to no avail. My preference is therefore to put many more stickers and signs along and on the road and more higher speed bumps. Also on various remote parking lots behind residential blocks, we have various cars gathering in the evening hours between 10:00 PM and 12:00 AM on Tuesdays and Fridays, and we see on camera that multiple people get into one car and later disappear in all directions, and this happens every week. We have reported this to the police, but as far as we know, nothing has ever been checked about what the youth are up to there. We as a neighbourhood find this worrying. All in all, we hope that the situation on the Viergang improves and that speed-limiting actions are taken, as well as checking what the youngsters are up to on the parking lots.
Auto-translated to English by AIFairly good experience. There are primary schools and a secondary school. This is very convenient if you are going to live here with a family. I do notice that more and more nature is disappearing, which is a shame. Also, in some places there is a lot of rubbish on the streets. The village is very convenient and is easily accessible by bus from most places. Every Thursday there is a market in the village with delicious food. During holidays there are also fun things to find in the village, such as an ice rink at Christmas and a flea market on King's Day. On King's Day there is also always a fair, which does get more expensive every year.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave been living here for about 7 years now, very safe, not much crime except during New Year's Eve.
Auto-translated to English by AIEasy to do your shopping and you can also go for a good walk. The people who live there are also very sociable and if you want something to eat or drink, you can do so in the many restaurants or cafés.
Auto-translated to English by AIPublic transport is getting worse and worse. There's always dog poop on the dyke and loads of people walking, so you often can't cycle at full speed. In the street, people live who tinker with mopeds. Guess what noise that makes. The church clock chimes every hour, and if you're unlucky and the hands are turned by a storm, then also at night. There's not really a patch of forest if you have a dog yourself. Are there good points? Yes, primary school around the corner, easily accessible by car (but then you MUST have one). Public transport to Utrecht and Bijlmer from Mijdrecht centre both exactly 1 hour by bus and train. Woerden less than an hour.
