House prices in Veenweidegebied: well above the Uithoorn average
Veenweidegebied is one of the smallest and most rural neighbourhoods of Uithoorn, and this is reflected in house prices. Of the 59 homes in the neighbourhood, as many as 80% are owner-occupied, making it a distinctly owner-occupied area. The average WOZ value is €484,000, clearly higher than the municipal average of €427,000. Looking at the actual prices paid over the past twelve months, the picture becomes even more striking: 4 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €886,500, with a range from €699,000 to €999,000. The average home had a floor area of 161 m², indicating spacious, mostly detached or semi-detached properties. So these are not starter apartments.

Living among the peat: peace, space and a character of its own
Veenweidegebied is not a neighbourhood in the traditional sense. It is a thinly populated ribbon of homes and farmsteads in the open polder landscape south of Uithoorn's built-up area. With only 110 residents and 59 homes, it is more of a hamlet than a neighbourhood. Those who live here consciously choose space, quiet and views over meadows and ditches. That sense of openness is exactly what residents appreciate. On the Veenweidegebied neighbourhood page you can read what residents themselves write about their area. A recurring theme in the reviews is the tranquillity: people describe it as "really living in the countryside, yet close to everything". The downside, also honestly mentioned, is that amenities within the neighbourhood itself are minimal.
For daily shopping, schools and sports facilities, you rely on nearby Uithoorn town centre, a few kilometres away. There you will find supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo, primary schools and GP practices. Veenweidegebied itself has no shops or schools within the neighbourhood. This is not a hidden disadvantage but a conscious trade-off inherent to this type of living. Children growing up here cycle or are driven to school. Sports enthusiasts find their way to clubs in Thamerdal or Zijdelwaard.
In terms of accessibility, Uithoorn is not a municipality with a train station, but the connection to Amsterdam is reasonable. Via the N201 you can reach Amsterdam-Zuid in about 25 minutes. Bus services towards Amstelveen and Amsterdam run from Uithoorn centre. From Veenweidegebied itself, however, a car is almost indispensable. The connection to the A2 via Amstelveen can be driven in about twenty minutes. For those who want to know what else the municipality of Uithoorn has to offer in terms of amenities and plans, the Uithoorn municipal website provides up-to-date information.
