Living in Industriewijk 't Plaveen, Huizen
Industriewijk 't Plaveen is a neighbourhood that does not hide its name. Its location borders the harbour area of Huizen, and you notice it: work vans and lorries regularly drive through the residential streets, often as a shortcut towards the Havenstraat. Resident Michelle describes it aptly in her review: "People drive terribly fast through the neighbourhood. I don't dare let my children play freely. Lots of work vans and lorries driving down our street." She also mentions that the neighbourhood regularly suffers from litter and blocked drains. These are no minor annoyances if you live here day to day.
Yet there is also another side. Samantha gives the neighbourhood a 6.9 and describes the atmosphere as cosy: "The people are friendly." Social cohesion scores a 6.5 in the resident ratings, and safety even scores an 8.0. That is a remarkably high score for a neighbourhood with industrial activity nearby. Apparently, residents themselves experience the neighbourhood as safe, even if the traffic nuisance and litter are irritating.
The homes in 't Plaveen largely date from the 1960s and 1970s, with the typical characteristics of that period: solid construction, reasonable plot sizes, but little architectural flair. The beauty score of 4.5 out of 10 in the resident reviews fits that. Greenery scores a 5.5, which matches the picture: there are no large parks in the immediate vicinity, although the proximity of the Gooimeer offers some compensation for those who love water.
In terms of amenities (score 6.0), you are reliant on the centre of Huizen, within cycling distance. The centre with supermarkets, shops and eateries is accessible via the Havenstraat and surrounding area. Primary schools can be found in the wider Huizen area; the education score stands at 6.5. For secondary education, you will soon direct children to other districts or neighbouring municipalities.
Accessibility scores a 7.0. Huizen has its own bus connection towards Naarden-Bussum and Hilversum, and via the N525 you are quickly on the A1 or A27. Naarden-Bussum station is a few kilometres away and offers connections towards Amsterdam and Utrecht. For daily shopping or a night out, you are dependent on the bike or car; 't Plaveen is not a real walking destination.
Anyone considering buying a home here would do well to also explore the neighbouring districts. Gooierhoofd and Wolfskamer are in the same Havengebied and offer a different character.

Cozy atmosphere
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.
