De Noord, Huizen
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Botterstraat sits in a leafy part of Huizen, with a generous 130 m² of living space and a 165 m² plot. Built in 1956, it has an E energy label, so heating costs are something to factor in. At €1,195,000, it is the most expensive home currently for sale in De Noord and sits 74% above the neighbourhood average asking price, a figure that reflects its size and location rather than the market norm. For context, terraced houses in Huizen vary widely, but this one is at the top end.
De Noord is a residential area with a calm, established feel. Most homes are pre-war (50% built before 1945) and three-quarters are single-family houses, so the streets are lined with traditional brick homes. The population is a mix: many older residents (a quarter are 65-plus), but also families with children. Average household size is 2.1, and incomes are around the national average. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the data alone. The De Noord neighbourhood is known for its quiet character and proximity to the old centre.
For groceries, Lidl is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza and Albert Heijn are within a ten-minute walk. There are several primary schools nearby: PCBS Beatrixschool and De Flevoschool are both within easy walking distance. Secondary education is available at Erfgooiers College. A park or public garden is a five-minute walk away, and the town centre with its restaurants and library is also close. The municipality of Huizen offers a good range of daily amenities without the bustle of a big city.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Groot Amsterdam Makelaardij B.V. and also appears on Funda, so you can view it through several portals. The price is set by the seller and reflects the home's size and location in a sought-after part of Huizen.

About Botterstraat 9, Huizen
The asking price is 74% above the neighbourhood average of €687,096 and is the highest of the 26 homes currently for sale in De Noord. However, this is a large terraced house (130 m²) with a 165 m² plot, which is bigger than most in the area. The average price per square metre in the neighbourhood is €6,270, so this home works out at about €9,192/m², well above that. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the quiet street.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood, only 25% of homes here have a label D or lower. An E label means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills. It may be worth looking into insulation or other improvements, but the listing does not mention any recent upgrades.
The nearest train station is 6.3 km away, so it is not within walking distance. You would need a bike, car or bus to reach it. The area is more car-dependent for longer journeys, though local amenities are close by.
De Noord has a mix of households: about 30% are families with children, and 40% are couples without children or singles. There are several primary schools within a kilometre, and a large secondary school (Erfgooiers College) is 1.1 km away. The area is quiet and residential, with a park nearby, so it suits families who value space and calm.
There are 26 homes for sale in De Noord, with prices ranging from €365,000 to €1,195,000. The median asking price is €672,000. This home is the most expensive on the market, so it stands out in terms of price and size.
Lidl is just 400 m away, and Ekoplaza is 600 m. Albert Heijn and SPAR express are within 700,800 m, so daily shopping is easy on foot or by bike. There are also several other supermarkets within a short drive.
The listing does not mention a garden, but the plot is 165 m², which typically includes outdoor space. However, without explicit confirmation from the agent, it is best not to assume. The description focuses on the house itself.
The house was built in 1956, so it is nearly 70 years old. The energy label E suggests that the original construction may not have modern insulation. The listing does not describe the interior condition, so a viewing would be needed to assess that.
