Living in Uithuizen: down-to-earth Groningen village life with good connections
Uithuizen is a Groningen village that doesn't try to be something it's not. It is quiet, well-organised and has its own character that you won't find in a new-build estate. Residents rate the neighbourhood a 6.8 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl. Accessibility scores notably high with a 9.0, and education (8.0) and green spaces (7.0) are also rated positively. Jelmer writes enthusiastically: "Everything is close by and it's a pleasant neighbourhood where it's always tidy, there's plenty of nature like forests nearby and many shops close by." Jimmy de Jong describes it as "quiet but very cosy", noting that everyone is friendly to each other. However, not everyone is equally satisfied: Zoey Drost indicates that youth nuisance and litter are recurring problems, and that the pavements are sometimes in poor condition. The scores for housing (5.7) and amenities (5.7) are therefore on the low side. Read all residents' experiences on the Uithuizen neighbourhood page with all sub-scores and reviews.

There's also plenty for sports: football club VV Uithuizen is active and there are tennis courts and other clubs in the area. The countryside around the village offers space for walking and cycling in the typical Groningen landscape. Those interested in a detached house with more space can also look at Buitengebied Uithuizen, where the plots are larger and it's even quieter.

The neighbourhood itself is fine. Just quite unsafe because young people break everything here. Furthermore, there is often a lot of rubbish and dogs poo.. the people are fine, fairly to themselves. Otherwise, the neighbourhood is not very special and there are not many facilities. (The pavement is really a problem; many elderly people have fallen because all the tiles are uneven). Otherwise, the neighbourhood is easily accessible, but parking facilities would be nice for visitors.
