Living in Hogemaat: green, quiet and mature
Hogemaat is a district best described as a mature, established residential area. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (over a third of residents), followed by those aged 65 and over. You notice this in the streets: it is quiet, the gardens are well-maintained, and the neighbourhood has little of the coming and going seen in younger districts. Nearly half of households are married, and most households are without children at home. Residents of Hogemaat particularly appreciate the peace, space and green character of the neighbourhood on the district page. A common sentiment in the reviews is that it feels safe and neighbours are involved, although it is also noted that the range of shops within the district itself is limited and you rely on Huizen centre or nearby supermarkets on the edge of the district for daily groceries.
In terms of amenities, the situation is reasonable but not abundant. Primary schools are within cycling distance, and for secondary education you can go to schools in Huizen centre. There is plenty to do sport-wise: the Gooimeer area offers space for walking, cycling and water sports, and various sports clubs are active in the municipality. The Hoorneboegse Heide and the forest towards Hilversum are a short cycle away, which for many residents is a concrete reason to keep living here.
Accessibility is functional. Huizen does not have its own train station, but bus connections take you to Naarden-Bussum station (NS intercity towards Amsterdam and Utrecht) in about ten minutes. By car, you quickly reach the A1 or A27 via the N525. Those commuting daily to Amsterdam or the Gooi region must account for rush-hour traffic on the access roads. Other districts in Huizen with a different character or price level are Oude Dorp, Erica en Tafelberg and Staatslieden en Componistenbuurt. The municipality publishes up-to-date information on housing and permits at huizen.nl.
For whom is buying in Hogemaat a realistic option?
With an average selling price of over €627,000, buying a home in Hogemaat is not an entry-level market for first-time buyers. The district mainly attracts movers, people coming from another owner-occupied home and bringing equity, and retirees who want to live spaciously in a quiet environment. When buying in Hogemaat, factor in additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for homes above the starter exemption), notary fees and possible valuation costs. Supply is limited: only a handful of homes are sold per year, meaning quick action is needed. Those wanting more flexibility can also look at rental homes in Hogemaat as a temporary or permanent alternative.
