Buying a home in Veenweidegebied, De Kwakel.
In the Veenweidegebied you're living in a quiet, rural corner of Uithoorn where you're genuinely outside but not cut off. Most homes here are from the 1970s and 80s, typically detached or semi-detached with generous gardens. The Ringvaart and meadows are right there for walking and cycling, and Uithoorn's centre is just a short ride away. It feels like a village, yet you're firmly in the Randstad.

What does Veenweidegebied offer?
De Kwakel is a small village where you still have real neighbourhoods instead of anonymous suburbs. You'll find mostly detached homes and farmhouses with space around them, plenty of green, and direct access to the polder landscape.
