Living in Zuidbuurt, Eemnes
Zuidbuurt is the southern part of the small but characterful Eemnes, a village nestled between the Eemvallei and the Gooise nature. The neighbourhood has a predominantly green and quiet character. That is no coincidence: the immediate proximity of meadows, the Eempolder and the edges of the Goois Natuurreservaat create a rural atmosphere that you rarely find in a regular Randstad municipality. Residents give both green spaces and beauty a 10 out of 10, and that surprises no one who has taken a walk there.
The housing stock largely consists of 1970s and 1980s buildings, with terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached houses. The streets are spacious with many front gardens and green strips. It is not a neighbourhood with a bustling shopping centre around the corner: for daily groceries you rely on the village centre of Eemnes-Dorp, which has a supermarket and a few small shops. If you want more choice, you can quickly drive to Baarn or Hilversum. The primary school De Biezenkamp serves the younger residents in the area, and for secondary education, Baarn and Hilversum are the logical choices.
Accessibility scores remarkably high: a perfect 10 from residents. That is not an exaggeration. The A27 can be reached via the Wakkerendijk and the N221 within a few minutes, making Amersfoort, Utrecht and the Gooi easily accessible. Bus connections run via Eemnes towards Baarn and Hilversum. Baarn station is about eight to ten minutes' drive away, from where trains depart towards Utrecht, Amsterdam and Amersfoort. By bike, the village itself is easy to traverse, and the polder paths are popular with cycling and walking residents.
The resident score stands at 6.9 out of 10, based on a limited number of reviews. One resident describes the neighbourhood as: "Beautiful surroundings, lots of green and quiet, but the community is not very close-knit and facilities are limited." That sums it up well. Community scores 4.0 and housing 3.0, indicating that residents do not see the quality of housing or the supply as a strong point. Safety scores a 5.0, which is neutral but not an alarm bell. More resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data can be found on the page for Zuidbuurt.
Compared to sister neighbourhoods, Zuidbuurt has a quieter and more rural profile than Eemnes-Dorp, which offers more village liveliness. The Eempolder is even more sparsely populated and truly agricultural in character. If you are looking for a combination of green tranquillity with reasonable car accessibility, Zuidbuurt is a good choice.

Who is a home in Zuidbuurt interesting for?
Families with children form the largest household group in Zuidbuurt, and that makes sense: the spacious homes, the green surroundings and the relative quiet suit that stage of life. The 45-65 age group is the largest, meaning there are also many movers and empty-nesters who have consciously chosen this setting. Starters have a tough time: with an average transaction price of €750,600 and an entry price from €398,000, the threshold is high. Overbidding is common in Eemnes, so expect stiff competition for the more affordable homes. If you want to explore renting as an alternative or stepping stone, you can visit the page with rental homes in Zuidbuurt. The rental share is limited at 24%, so supply is scarce there too.
What residents say about Zuidbuurt

One resident writes: "Beautiful surroundings, lots of green and quiet, but the community is not very close-knit and facilities are limited." That gives an honest picture: Zuidbuurt is a nice place to live if you value nature and space over liveliness, but do not expect a bustling neighbourhood life or a wide range of facilities within walking distance.
