Geuzenbuurt, Hilversum
NeighbourhoodThis 87 m² apartment on the Hoge Larenseweg sits in a lively part of Hilversum, where the streets are lined with early 20th-century architecture. The home has an energy label D, so heating costs are something to budget for. At €395,000, the price is in line with what other apartments in Hilversum go for.
The neighbourhood Geuzenbuurt is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a mix of families and singles. Based on two reviews, opinions are divided. One resident says: "A communal neighbourhood where every neighbour is there for you. I have lived here for 16 years, schools, supermarket. The station and the city centre are a 10-minute walk away, there is a playground on every corner." Another is less positive: "Quiet neighbourhood just outside the city centre but full of whingers. Everyone is unnecessarily on top of each other and causes problems for others purely as a hobby." The area has a high density of addresses, typical of a very strongly urban setting.
For your morning bread run, AH to go is just around the corner, and SPAR express is a couple of streets away. Hoogvliet and Jumbo are a five-minute walk. Sterrenschool Hilversum is on your doorstep for primary education, and Montessorischool Centrum is a couple of streets away. For secondary school, Lucent College is a five-minute walk. The municipality Hilversum has a train station a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed via ID WONINGMAKELAARS and also appears on Funda.

I have lived in the Geuzenbuurt for 16 years, schools, supermarket. The station and the city centre are a 10-minute walk away, there is a playground on every corner. And there are several primary and secondary schools in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood just outside the city centre but full of whingers. Everyone is unnecessarily on top of each other and causes problems for others purely as a hobby. Really a shame because the whole neighbourhood is full of it and you can't have a nice chat with your neighbours, you just get dirty looks everywhere. If I had known that earlier, I might not have bought the house.

About Hoge Larenseweg 45B, Hilversum
At 87 m² and with an energy label D, the asking price of €395,000 is in line with what other apartments in Hilversum are listed for. The home is from 1900, so you are paying for character and location rather than modern efficiency. Without comparable sales data for the neighbourhood, it is hard to say whether it is a bargain, but it is not obviously overpriced.
Energy label D means the home is not particularly efficient. You can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a modern home. The pre-war construction often means single glazing or poor insulation, so heating costs could be significant. It is worth checking the exact energy performance certificate to see what improvements might be needed.
Hilversum train station is 1.1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting to Amsterdam or Utrecht without needing a car.
Opinions vary. One long-term resident praises the communal feel and helpful neighbours, while another complains about unfriendly residents and a tense atmosphere. With only two reviews, it is hard to generalise, but the neighbourhood has a mix of families and singles, and the high density means you will be living close to others.
Yes, several primary schools are within walking distance: Sterrenschool Hilversum is 190 m away, Montessorischool Centrum is 288 m, and Jan van Rijckenborghschool is 311 m. For secondary education, Lucent College is 403 m away. That makes it a practical location for families with school-age children.
AH to go is 367 m away, SPAR express is 464 m, Hoogvliet is 525 m, and Jumbo is 552 m. All are within a five- to seven-minute walk, so daily shopping is easy without a car.
