Nieuw is a neighborhood located in the Downtown area of Hoorn, Netherlands. The name "nieuw" is Dutch for "new" and the neighborhood was established in the mid-20th century as a new residential area for the growing population of Hoorn.

Geographically, Nieuw is situated to the west of the historic center of Hoorn, with the city's main canal, the Grootzand, running along its eastern edge. The neighborhood is predominantly residential, with a mix of apartment buildings, townhouses, and single-family homes. Many of the buildings in Nieuw were constructed in the 1950s and 1960s, and feature a typical post-war Dutch architectural style.

The neighborhood has several parks and green spaces, including the Grootzandpark, which runs along the canal and provides a scenic walkway and views of the water.

While not as historic as some other parts of Hoorn, Nieuw has its own charm and character. The neighborhood is relatively compact, making it easy to explore on foot, and its proximity to the city center makes it an attractive option for those who want to be close to the action but still enjoy some peace and quiet.

In recent years, Nieuw has undergone some regeneration and development work, with several new buildings and renovations taking place. The neighborhood remains a popular choice for residents and visitors alike, offering a unique blend of modern amenities and historic charm.
