Living in Krijgsman, Gooise Meren

Krijgsman is a neighbourhood you won't easily find elsewhere. It is a relatively young urban development directly on the water, built on former industrial land on the edge of Muiden, with the IJmeer as a literal neighbour. The homes were largely built from 2016 onwards and have a recognisably contemporary character: dark facades, large windows, flat or slightly sloping roofs, and almost always a direct relationship with the water or the green public space. It is not a neighbourhood that has grown over the decades, but one that was designed from the outset as a cohesive residential area.

The atmosphere is quiet without being boring. There is plenty of greenery and water, children play on the squares and along the quays, and car traffic has been deliberately limited. The neighbourhood therefore attracts relatively many young families: the 25 to 45 age group is the largest, and more than half of households have children. You can also see this in the social dynamics: there are active residents' groups, and the neighbourhood has a fairly close-knit community for a district that has only existed for a few years.

For daily shopping, residents rely on Muiden centre or the supermarkets in the Muiderberg area, as a full shopping centre within the neighbourhood itself is lacking. That is a point that comes up in resident reviews: the amenities are still developing. There is a primary school in the immediate vicinity, and for secondary education, pupils rely on Muiden or Bussum. For sports, there is plenty to do: the location on the water makes rowing, sailing and canoeing accessible, and there are walking and cycling routes along the Vecht and the Gooimeer.

In terms of accessibility, Krijgsman has a two-sided story. By car, you can quickly reach Amsterdam or Utrecht via the A1, and the connection to the motorway network is one of the reasons why commuting dual-income earners find this neighbourhood. By public transport, it is less straightforward: the nearest train station is Weesp, a few kilometres away, accessible by bus. From Weesp, you can reach Amsterdam Central in about 20 minutes. Those who want to cycle to Amsterdam daily can expect a ride of 30 to 40 minutes along the Gaasp or via Diemen.

On the neighbourhood page of Krijgsman you will find resident reviews and scores per category. Residents appreciate the peace, the architecture and the watery environment. One resident writes: "It's very nice living here, especially for our children who can play safely outside. Only the supermarket is too far away." Criticism focuses mainly on the lack of local amenities and accessibility by public transport. Those considering Krijgsman would do well to also look at nearby neighbourhoods such as Vesting Muiden, which has a more complete level of amenities, or Muiderberg for those seeking a slightly more village-like character. Also IJmeer is a related neighbourhood worth comparing. The entire district can be found on the page for owner-occupied homes in Muiden.

Is an owner-occupied home in Krijgsman something for you?

Krijgsman primarily appeals to young families and dual-income earners who consciously choose a new-build environment with plenty of water and greenery, and are willing to pay a substantial amount for it. With an average transaction price of over €1.1 million and an entry level around €775,000, buying a home in Krijgsman is not an option for starters with a limited budget. The supply is also scarce: only a handful of homes are sold annually, which means you have to act quickly when something becomes available. Those who want more flexibility or want to try out the neighbourhood first can also look at the rental homes in Krijgsman as an intermediate solution.
