Buying a house in Vijfheerenlanden: the housing market in 2026
Vijfheerenlanden is a municipality in the province of Utrecht that was created in 2019 from the merger of Leerdam, Vianen and Zederik. The result is a vast area with a mix of historic towns, quiet villages and open polder landscape along the Lek and Linge rivers. With over 61,600 residents, it is large enough for good amenities but small enough to retain that village feel. Its location is one of its biggest assets: via the A2 and A27 you are quickly in Utrecht, Gorinchem or Den Bosch, and Vianen-Leerdam station provides a rail connection.
The housing market in Vijfheerenlanden is firmly anchored in owner-occupied homes: 63% of the more than 25,000 homes are owner-occupied. The average WOZ value is €379,000, but actual transaction prices are higher. In the past twelve months, 521 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €678,941, with a range from €155,000 to €2,350,000. This shows how diverse the supply is: from a starter home in Leerdam to a detached house on a large plot in the countryside. At the top of this page you will always find the current asking prices and selling times. Buurtje.nl combines property listings from more than 1,500 sources with neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you not only choose a house but also the right neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Vijfheerenlanden
Vijfheerenlanden has dozens of neighbourhoods and hamlets, spread across the cores of Vianen, Leerdam, Meerkerk, Ameide, Hagestein and various smaller villages. Each core has its own character, from the somewhat more urban Vianen to the agricultural countryside around Hei- en Boeicop. Below we highlight the most relevant neighbourhoods for buyers.
Amaliastein: modern living with the highest neighbourhood score
Amaliastein is a relatively young residential area in Leerdam that scores a 9.0 on Buurtje.nl, the highest in the municipality. That is not surprising: the neighbourhood is spacious with plenty of greenery, good play facilities and short distances to schools and shops in the centre of Leerdam. It is mainly families and movers who buy a terraced or semi-detached house here. Prices are generally around or slightly above the municipal average, but residents say the quality of the living environment more than makes up for it.
Hoef en Haag: new-build near Vianen
The new-build neighbourhood Hoef en Haag near Vianen is still growing. It is a popular choice for young families who want to live energy-efficiently while being close to the A2 and A27. The neighbourhood has its own primary school, playing fields and a growing shopping centre. Because it is new-build, prices per square metre are somewhat higher than in existing neighbourhoods, but you get a modern home with a favourable energy label in return. For those who work in Utrecht or Gorinchem, this is a logical place to look.
Hei- en Boeicop: village-like and affordable
Those seeking peace and not afraid of a rural environment will find an interesting option in Hei- en Boeicop. This small village scores a 7.8 among residents. The sense of community is strong and house prices are generally below the municipal average. It is a place where you get more space for less money, although you have to reckon with limited amenities. The supermarket and secondary school are in Meerkerk or Leerdam. Also check out the surrounding countryside if you really want to live rurally.
Hagestein: village living close to Vianen
Hagestein is a compact village that benefits from its proximity to Vianen without the busy traffic. There is a primary school, a sports club and an active village life. The homes are mainly single-family houses from the 1970s and 1980s, with occasional newer projects. Prices are somewhat more moderate than in Vianen itself, making Hagestein attractive for families looking for space. Via the Lek bridge you are on the motorway within a few minutes.
Everdingen: compact and green
The small Everdingen is nestled between the Lek and the A2. Despite that location, it is surprisingly quiet, with a village centre that has retained its own character. There are mainly detached and semi-detached houses. Prices vary widely: in the centre you will find affordable options, while the countryside of Everdingen also has more expensive country houses.
There are also other interesting neighbourhoods worth exploring. In Ameide you will find a charming village centre on the Lek, while Leerbroek and Kedichem are typical ribbon villages where you can live spaciously for a relatively sharp price.

What to look out for when buying a home in Vijfheerenlanden
The housing market in Vijfheerenlanden is fairly tight, especially for popular segments such as family homes between €350,000 and €550,000. A few practical tips if you want to buy a home here:
First: look beyond Vianen and Leerdam. Many buyers automatically focus on the larger cores, but villages like Hagestein, Ameide and Leerbroek often offer more living space for less money. Amenities are more limited, but with a car you are within ten minutes of a supermarket or school.
Second: take into account the condition of older homes. In the countryside there are properties that have sometimes not been extensively renovated for decades. Always have a structural survey carried out, and check the energy label. The average gas consumption in the municipality is 1,010 m³, which indicates many homes that are not yet well insulated.
Third: accessibility varies per core. Vianen is directly on the motorway, but from Ameide or Hei- en Boeicop you are already twenty minutes away from a slip road. If you commute daily to Utrecht or Gorinchem, factor that in.
Finally: use neighbourhood data in your choice. On Buurtje.nl you can compare scores per neighbourhood on safety, greenery, amenities and more. That gives a fairer picture than just photos and a floor plan. Looking for flexibility? Also check out a rental home in Vijfheerenlanden as an alternative.

Quiet area, little to do for adults and children. Clean neighbourhood. Many primary schools for the little ones. Police don't drive by often enough to keep it safe. City centre is fine and cosy.
Auto-translated to English by AIWell, there were a few chavs living here but luckily they've been removed from their homes. It's pretty crap that there's no supermarket / shop, but then again we're far too small for that. The market is nice though. The football club and church provide a lot of interaction and connections. Plenty of playgrounds but they're hardly used anymore (about 7 years ago the playground was busy every evening with football, nowadays almost no one comes...)
