Geuzenbuurt, Hilversum
NeighbourhoodThis two-storey apartment on Simon Stevinweg sits in a well-kept 1998 complex, with a generous 74 m² of living space and an A energy label, so heating bills should be modest. The price of €390,000 is keen compared with other apartments in Hilversum, making it a fair proposition for a home this efficient.
The Geuzenbuurt neighbourhood is a quiet, leafy area just outside the centre, with mostly families and a mix of owner-occupied and rental homes. Based on two reviews, opinions are split. One resident says: 'A communal neighbourhood where every neighbour is there for you, schools, supermarket, the station and the city centre are a ten-minute walk away, and there is a playground on every corner.' Another is less positive: 'Quiet neighbourhood but full of whingers. Everyone is unnecessarily on top of each other and causes problems for others purely as a hobby.' So while the area has its charms, it pays to get a feel for the street yourself.
For your morning bread, SPAR express is just around the corner, and AH to go and Hoogvliet are a couple of streets away. Primary schools are on your doorstep: Montessorischool Centrum and Sterrenschool Hilversum are both within a few minutes' walk, and Lucent College for secondary education is a ten-minute walk. The train station is also a ten-minute walk, and the municipality of Hilversum keeps the area well served with a GP and a restaurant just around the corner.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Van Bruggen.

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.
