Huizen life runs between the water and the green: the harbor and marinas on the Gooimeer to the north, the heathland of Het Gooi to the south, and the old village core in between. With 41,382 inhabitants, Huizen is much larger than its neighbors Blaricum and Laren, which share the same heath, so it has more shops and more rental homes.

Huizen has no railway station, so public transport starts with a bus to the train stations of Hilversum or Naarden-Bussum. By car, the A27 over the Stichtse Brug leads to Almere and Utrecht, and the A1 towards Amsterdam and Amersfoort is a short drive south.

Huizen's harbor is where the old fishing village meets the Gooimeer, with marinas full of sailing boats in summer. A few restaurants sit near the water.
