Living in Uitgeest: village tranquillity a stone's throw from the Randstad
Residents on Buurtje.nl give Uitgeest a 7.5 out of 10. The sense of community scores notably high with a 9, and the beauty of the village also gets a 9. Resident Dennis de Vries sums it up succinctly: "Small village, nice and quiet. Not much to do though." That is honestly a fitting description. Uitgeest is not a place where you will find a vibrant nightlife late in the evening, but rather a village where you know your neighbours and children play safely outside. The safety score of 8 confirms that picture. More reviews and detailed neighbourhood data can be found on the Uitgeest district page.
In terms of amenities, the village has the basics well covered. At the Middelweg shopping area you will find an Albert Heijn and a Dirk van den Broek for daily groceries. There are several primary schools, including De Springschans and De Weidevogel, and for secondary education, young people go to Beverwijk or Castricum. Sports enthusiasts can go to football club UVS, tennis club Uitgeest or the local swimming pool De Zien. The Uitgeestermeer lake and the surrounding polder area offer space for walking, cycling and sailing, although the green category scores a 7, slightly lower than you might expect for such a rural environment.
Accessibility is a strong point and gets an 8 from residents. Uitgeest station is an important hub where the Sprinter lines towards Amsterdam (around 35 minutes), Alkmaar (15 minutes) and Haarlem (25 minutes) converge. By car, via the N203 you are quickly on the A9 towards Amsterdam or Alkmaar. Bus lines connect the village with Heemskerk and Castricum. Those looking specifically in a particular neighbourhood can look at homes for sale in het Oude Dorp for the village character, the newer district Waldijk for more spacious family homes, or De Koog on the edge of the village. De Kleis is also worth a look. On the municipal page of Uitgeest you can read more about the village as a whole, and on the website of the municipality of Uitgeest you will find information about zoning plans and permits.
Which buyers is Uitgeest interesting for?

Movers looking for more space than in Amsterdam or Haarlem get value for their money here. Buying an apartment in Uitgeest is possible from around €275,000, which can be a stepping stone for first-time buyers. Be aware that supply is limited: with 46 sales per year, the market is tight and you need to act quickly.
