House prices in Uithuizermeeden: below the municipal average, but with outliers
Uithuizermeeden is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 66% of the more than 2,194 homes are owned, the rest are rented, a quarter of which through a housing association. The average WOZ value is €225,000, which is clearly below the average of the municipality of Het Hogeland (€251,000). Yet actual sale prices tell a different story. Over the past twelve months, 18 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €360,417. The range was remarkably wide: from €199,500 to €1,075,000, with an average living area of 140 m². That high maximum points to spacious detached houses or farmhouses in the rural area. The supply mainly consists of single-family homes and detached houses; buying apartments in Uithuizermeeden is hardly an option. Current listings and asking prices can be found at the top of this page.
Uithuizermeeden: green and quiet, but frankly not for everyone
Living in Uithuizermeeden means choosing peace, space, and a recognisable Groningen village character. The village lies in the northern clay area of the province, surrounded by open landscape, and scores a perfect 10 for green space in resident reviews on the Uithuizermeeden neighbourhood page. Safety (8.0), accessibility (8.0), beauty (8.0) and housing (9.0) are also rated positively. The overall score of 6.0 based on resident reviews does require nuance. Resident Benthe writes: "I think it's mainly a village for old, grey and boring people. There are no places for young people, few shops and no secondary school." That is an honest signal. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (1,370 residents), and the 65+ group is also strongly represented. Uithuizermeeden is not a village buzzing with youth activity.
Regarding amenities: there is a primary school in the village, but for secondary education children have to travel, something Benthe also mentions as a concrete disadvantage. Shops are limited; for a full supermarket range and larger groceries you rely on surrounding places like Uithuizen or Delfzijl. Sports clubs do exist, including a football club, and the village has a community centre and some local associations that keep the community together, although community spirit scores low at 3.0 in reviews. The surroundings are excellent for cycling and walking through the Hogelandster area.
Accessibility is surprisingly good for a village of this size. There is its own train station, reaching Groningen city in about 35 minutes. Benthe mentions the station as a bright spot: "luckily there is a train station in the middle of the village." For those travelling by car, the N33 is the main connecting route towards Groningen and the A7. If you want more space outside the core, homes in the rural area of Uithuizermeeden are an option, or look at the sub-areas Uithuizermeeden Noord and Uithuizermeeden Zuid. Nearby villages such as Roodeschool and Oudeschip offer similar peace with sometimes a slightly different housing supply.
Who is buying in Uithuizermeeden a good choice for?
Buying in Uithuizermeeden best suits people who consciously choose peace and space, and who are not dependent on urban amenities within walking distance. Think of families with young children who have not yet outgrown primary school, seniors who want to live quietly, or people fleeing the city from Groningen. For first-time buyers, the entry price of €199,500 is realistic, but keep in mind additional costs such as transfer tax (2%) and notary fees. The average income in the neighbourhood (€30,800) is slightly below the municipal average. If you are still unsure whether buying is the right step, you can also look at rental homes in Uithuizermeeden as an alternative. More information about municipal policy can be found on the website of municipality Het Hogeland.

What types of homes are available if you want to buy a house in Uithuizermeeden?
The supply in Uithuizermeeden mainly consists of single-family homes and detached houses, often with spacious plots. In the rural area, former farmhouses can also be found, which explains the high upper limit in sale prices. Buying an apartment in Uithuizermeeden is hardly an option; the village has few multi-storey buildings.
How is the accessibility if you live in Uithuizermeeden?
Uithuizermeeden has its own train station, from which you can reach Groningen city in about 35 minutes. By car, the N33 is the main connection towards Groningen and the A7. For daily amenities and larger supermarkets, you rely on surrounding places such as Uithuizen or Delfzijl, a few kilometres away.
Is there a secondary school in Uithuizermeeden for families buying a home?
No, Uithuizermeeden does not have a secondary school. There is a primary school in the village, but for secondary education children must travel to surrounding places. Residents explicitly mention this as a disadvantage. The train station does make travel for students somewhat easier than in villages without public transport.
I mainly think it's a village for old, grey and boring people. There are no places for young people, few shops and no secondary school, so you have to travel a lot by train (I personally find that awful), but luckily there is a train station in the middle of the village. Because there are mainly seniors living here, it is generally very quiet. The only thing I find unsafe about Uithuizermeeden is the fact that there are no streetlights outside the village, and people drive very fast in the polders, which is very annoying when you are cycling.
