Fine living in Weespersluis:
Just imagine. You wake up to birds singing. You take a shower in your modern bathroom and walk downstairs. The children are already sitting at the dining table and your partner is frying a delicious egg in your luxurious open kitchen, which is fully equipped, including a quooker, dishwasher, oven and fridge-freezer. After breakfast, grab your cargo bike and ride through Muiderslot Park and drop the kids off at school. Then you drive on to the historical centre of Weesp, where you and your neighbour have a nice cup of coffee at the Eendracht (the apple pie here is really delicious btw).
It's Friday, so you walk around the market on Nieuwstraat for a while. It is pleasantly busy and here you do the weekly shopping for the weekend. Back home, you put the beautiful bunch of flowers in water and open your laptop, because there's also work to be done today. By now it is almost five o'clock, so time to pick up the children from BSO again. Your partner drives past the Karwei to get firelighters, because you will soon be having a barbecue with your friends from Amsterdam.
You can smell the barbecue, the music is on and the delicious wines (that you got earlier from Petit Clos) are cold. Meanwhile, the children are outside playing with all their friends from the neighbourhood. The bell rings and your friends are at the door, arriving on their electric bikes, which they can park next to the house in the garden. The wine can be opened and the barbecue can begin. After a lovely summer evening, you put the children to bed. Each in their own room. Together with your partner, you have one last drink in the garden. Life in Weespersluis is good!
About Weesp:
Weesp is an authentic fortified town in the province of North Holland, located on the Vecht river. Weesp was granted city rights on 20 May 1355. The historic centre feels like ‘Little Amsterdam’ with its beautiful canals, cosy waterside terraces and many historic buildings. Not only does it feel like Amsterdam, since 24 March 2022 Weesp has officially become an urban area of Amsterdam. So you no longer have to leave the city when you already live in Amsterdam ;-)
Weesp has an awful lot to offer. There are 7 excellent primary schools, many BSOs and Crèches (note: there are waiting lists) and 2 choices for secondary education. Vechtstede also offers bilingual education. For sports lovers, there is also plenty of choice. Among others, there is a swimming pool, Hockey club (MHC), Football club (FC Weesp), Tennis club (Weesper tennisclub), many gyms, a riding school (Bleijenberg) and a Watersport Association (WV Weesp).
There is a theatre/cinema (City of Westopa), museums, many nice shops and fun events are organised throughout the year. Think of the Sinterklaas entry, Koningsdag (King's Day), the Sluis-en-bruggenfeest (Lock and Bridge Festival) and a festival (Funky Festival). There are also impressive cycling and sailing routes in Weesp. Don't have your own boat? No problem, because you can simply hire one.
The Weespersluis project:
Since 2017, a new residential area between Weesp and Muiden has emerged in the former Bloemendalerpolder, called Weespersluis. The area covers over three hundred hectares and consists of three neighbourhoods: Lanenrijk, Waterrijk and Vechtrijk. In Weespersluis, there is a lot of space for water. There are many canals and a large pond called the Gouw. With your canoe, rowing boat or sup, you can sail around the whole of Weespersluis.
There will be around 300 public moorings in Weespersluis. These can be found along quaysides or in the two harbours to be realised. A jetty is expected to be realised in the harbour in Waterrijk (between Nigtevechtlaan/Nigtevechtkade in Waterrijk 4B1 and Groenevechtkade in Waterrijk 5A1 East) at the end of 2024. For now, anyone can moor a sloop there at their own risk.The lock (Schutsluis) is expected to be ready by the end of 2026. Unfortunately, that will take a while, but then you can sail from Weespersluis onto the Vecht towards ‘t Gooi, Muiden and Amsterdam. We can't wait!
There will also be a beach at the Gouwpark and the shops and restaurants will open their doors at the end of 2024. High time, because then you can finally get a cup of coffee. Many residents of Weespersluis are from Amsterdam and have (young) children. Very cosy, because this means we are all in the same stage of life. A new house, young children. So you often bump into each other. At childcare or at school, in one of the three parks or many playgrounds, at the ice cream shop in the centre, at the Eendracht, in the Diemer forest, at the playground (Don Bosco), at the stand in Muiderberg or at another fun place in the vicinity of Weesp. Weespersluis is ideally located, just 10 train minutes from Amsterdam and close to ‘t Gooi. Ideal if you want to grab a bite to eat, catch a festival or work in Amsterdam, Almere or ‘t Gooi. By car, you are at Schiphol Airport within 20 minutes, so convenient if you are going on holiday.
The Lanenrijk neighbourhood:
Lanenrijk has a garden city character, with homes around a courtyard or on an avenue, canal or park street. In a park-like setting with the water always nearby. The majority of the houses have a green transition zone between house and street, for example by a veranda and/or a front garden. The houses are built in Fin de siècle architecture (from the period around 1900), a richly decorated style with indoor-outdoor spaces such as bay windows, conservatories, verandas and loggias and facades with a vertical character.
