Buying a house in Huizen: the housing market in 2026
Huizen lies on the northern side of the Gooimeer and combines a village character with a strategic location between Amsterdam, Amersfoort and Hilversum. With over 41,000 residents, it is large enough for good amenities, but small enough to know your neighbours. The old harbour, the greenery around the Tafelbergheide and the direct bus connections to Hilversum and Naarden-Bussum station make it a popular place to live for families and home-movers who want the Gooi without the prices of Blaricum or Laren.
Of the more than 19,100 homes in Huizen, 58% are owner-occupied and 42% are rental. The average WOZ value is €448,000. Over the past twelve months, 187 homes changed hands at an average sale price of €753,170, with a range from €106,332 to €5,950,000. The average living area of sold homes is 145 m². The market is quite tight: homes sell quickly and overbidding is more the rule than the exception. Check the current asking prices and selling times at the top of this page for the most recent picture.
On Buurtje.nl you will not only find the bundled housing supply from more than 1,500 sources, but also neighbourhood scores and resident reviews per district, so you can look beyond the home itself.
The best districts to buy a house in Huizen
Huizen has thirteen official districts, each with its own atmosphere and price level. From the green outskirts to the lively centre: the choice of district determines your living experience at least as much as the home itself. Below are the most relevant districts for buyers.
Bovenmaten, quiet and green on the edge
Bovenmaten is a spacious residential district in the south of Huizen, popular with families and home-movers looking for space. The district scores an 8.2 from residents on Buurtje.nl, the highest neighbourhood score in all of Huizen. Residents appreciate the greenery and tranquillity. Prices here are slightly above the municipal average due to the larger supply of single-family homes. Check the housing supply in Bovenmaten for the current situation.
Huizermaat West and Zuid, affordable and lively
Huizermaat is the heart of daily life in Huizen, with shopping centre De Huizermaat, primary schools and sports facilities within walking distance. Huizermaat West and Zuid scores a 6.9 from residents. One resident writes: "Good amenities in the neighbourhood, but the homes are in need of maintenance." For starters and young families, this district offers relatively affordable apartments and terraced houses. Check the available homes in Huizermaat West and Zuid.
Havengebied, living by the water
Havengebied is the most characteristic part of Huizen, with the old fishing harbour, restaurants and the Gooimeer a stone's throw away. With a neighbourhood score of 6.4, it is not a perfect district: residents mention the crowds in the summer season as a downside. But if you love water and are looking for an apartment or upper-floor home with a view, you will find something unique here. Prices vary widely, from compact apartments to expensive detached homes on the coast. Discover what is for sale in Havengebied.
Oude Dorp, village character with history
Oude Dorp is the historic centre of Huizen, with narrow streets, the Oude Kerk and small shops. Here you live in the most authentic part of Huizen. No neighbourhood scores are available, but the atmosphere mainly attracts buyers who value character more than a large garden. The housing stock consists of a mix of characterful homes and newer infill projects. Check the supply in Oude Dorp.
In addition, there are districts such as Erica en Tafelberg, which borders the Tafelbergheide and is popular with nature lovers, Staatslieden- en Componistenbuurt with a mix of rental and owner-occupied homes, and Zenderwijk en Bovenweg for those with a larger budget looking for a villa district. Read all ratings and reviews per district on the municipal page of Huizen.
What to look out for when buying a home in Huizen?
Firstly: look beyond the home itself. The difference in neighbourhood score between Bovenmaten (8.2) and Huizermaat Noord (4.4) is large. Walk through the district at different times and talk to neighbours before making an offer. Especially in the districts around the centre and Huizermaat, one street can make the difference.
Secondly: prepare for a tight market. With an average sale price of over €753,000 and plenty of competition, you need to be able to act quickly. Make sure your financing is in order before you go viewing. A buying agent with local knowledge can help, especially in popular districts like Bovenmaten or Havengebied.
Thirdly: accessibility varies by district. Huizen does not have its own train station; you rely on bus lines to Hilversum and Naarden-Bussum. If you travel by public transport daily, it is wise to choose a district with good bus stops. More information about amenities and accessibility can be found on the website of the municipality of Huizen.
Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and resident reviews on Buurtje.nl to objectively compare districts. What residents say about safety, beauty and amenities tells you more than an estate agent's description. Prefer to be flexible? Then also check rental homes in Huizen as an alternative or stepping stone.

Cozy atmosphere
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 20 years and have seen the neighbourhood go downhill like crazy
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice, pleasant neighbourhood with friendly people, a nice park nearby, supermarket also very close, and the schools too. It's a nice place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AILoitering youths cause nuisance and it goes on very late, and I really don't feel safe in my neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is often dirty. There's a lot of rubbish and the drains are regularly blocked. People drive extremely fast through the neighbourhood. I don't dare let my children play freely. Many work vans and trucks drive through our street to make the route to Havenstraat easier. Because the industrial estate borders our residential area, there is almost never any parking space for us residents. The garage that is there parks its cars in our neighbourhood because it can no longer accommodate them itself. There is also a gym where all members park in the neighbourhood. As a result, we often have to walk far to get to our homes. The neighbourhood is not child-friendly due to the heavy traffic and there is little to do. There is a playground but they cannot go there safely. It would be ideal if there were one-way traffic. And more rubbish bins.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience with the neighbourhood is that not much exciting happens, sometimes a small incident but nothing that gets completely out of hand.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood. The flat I find less attractive. Lots of nature. Beautiful houses. Friendly people.
