Legmeer from the inside: green, quiet and strongly family-oriented
Living in Legmeer feels different from living in the centre of Uithoorn. The district is laid out with wide streets, plenty of greenery and a clear focus on family life. The largest age group consists of 25- to 45-year-olds, and households with children form the largest category. You notice this on the street: people cycle, there are playgrounds and the primary schools in the area are well attended. Residents on the district page of Legmeer particularly appreciate the peace and space. A frequently heard comment: "You don't live on top of each other here, the gardens are big and the neighbourhood feels safe." Criticism sometimes focuses on the range of shops beyond the supermarket and the limited entertainment options for young people, which is also reflected in the demographic composition of the district.
In terms of amenities, Legmeer has quite a lot to offer. There are several primary schools in and directly around the district, including schools that fall under the Passend Onderwijs Amstel en Venen partnership. For daily groceries, there are supermarkets within walking distance, and the Zijdelwaard shopping centre offers additional shops and services. Sports enthusiasts find their way to the football clubs and tennis clubs in the area, and the nearby Amstelpark and the green zones along the Amstel invite walking and cycling. If you are looking for a quieter district but still want to be within reach of urban amenities, you will find that in Legmeer. Neighbouring districts such as Thamerdal and Zijdelwaard offer a different character and sometimes a different price level, worth comparing.
Accessibility is a point where you need to be realistic. Legmeer does not have its own train station. The nearest stations are Aalsmeer (limited connections) and Schiphol, reachable by bus or car. Bus connections via Connexxion link the district with Uithoorn centre and towards Amsterdam-Zuidoost, but the frequency is limited outside peak hours. By car, you are quickly on the A2 or towards Schiphol via the N201, which makes the district well usable for commuters with a car. More about the municipality and its policy on accessibility can be found on the website of Uithoorn municipality or on the Uithoorn page of this platform.
For whom is a home in Legmeer a good choice?
Legmeer mainly appeals to families and home-movers who are looking for space and use the car as their primary means of transport. First-time buyers can enter from around €296,000, but must take into account overbidding in popular segments and additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for homes above the starter exemption), notary costs and any structural survey.
