Living in Noordbuurt, Eemnes
Noordbuurt is the most urban part of Eemnes, and that is immediately the most striking feature when you drive through it for the first time. Where the rest of the municipality is strongly rural in character, Noordbuurt has a recognisable residential neighbourhood appearance with continuous streets, cycle routes and a clear neighbourhood structure. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1970s and 1980s, which is reflected in the architecture: brick terraced houses, quiet streets with front gardens and a clear layout.
The neighbourhood has a mixed but stable character. The largest age group is 45-65 years, with also a significant group of over-65s. At the same time, there are relatively many families with children, which gives the neighbourhood an everyday, lively atmosphere. It is not a trendy neighbourhood, but it is a reliable one. Neighbours know each other, the streets are quiet and there is little nuisance.
In terms of amenities, Noordbuurt is well provided for a neighbourhood of this size. The centre of Eemnes, with a supermarket, primary schools and sports clubs, is within cycling distance. Children from the neighbourhood mostly attend the primary schools in the village itself. Those looking for more shops or entertainment options are directed to Baarn, Hilversum or Amersfoort, all within a twenty-minute drive. Bus connections run via the core of Eemnes towards Baarn and Hilversum, although in practice the car is the primary means of transport for most residents. Cyclists can easily get to the Eemmeer and the polders, which also makes the neighbourhood attractive for recreational cyclists.
Residents of Noordbuurt particularly appreciate the peace, space and location near nature. One resident writes: "You live here quietly but not isolated. Baarn is easily accessible and the nature around the corner is a real plus." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited local shop offering and the dependence on the car for larger groceries. Compared to neighbouring municipality Eemnes-Dorp, which has a more village-like and historic character, Noordbuurt feels more functional and planned. Eembrugge and Eempolder are greener and more sparsely populated, but offer fewer direct amenities. Those wanting more comparison material can also look at the broader offering of owner-occupied homes in Eemnes as a whole.
Is buying in Noordbuurt right for you?
Noordbuurt mainly appeals to movers and families looking for space in a quiet environment, without being far from urban amenities. The average purchase price of over €508,000 makes it a difficult market for first-time buyers, especially given the limited supply of nine sales in the past year. Overbidding is not exceptional in this price range. Seniors who want to continue living in a familiar, easily accessible environment also find their place here, partly thanks to the ground-floor homes that sometimes become available. Those who want to be more flexible or first get to know the neighbourhood can also look at rental homes in Noordbuurt as a temporary alternative.
