Geuzenbuurt, Hilversum
NeighbourhoodThis 1929 apartment on Van Leeuwenhoekstraat sits in the Geuzenbuurt, a lively part of Hilversum Oost. At 49 m² it's compact but well laid out, with an E energy label meaning you'll want to budget for heating. The asking price of €225,000 is in line with what you'd expect for an apartment of this size in Hilversum, check out other apartments in Hilversum to compare.
The Geuzenbuurt is a dense, urban neighbourhood, very strong urbanity with over 3,800 addresses per km². Two residents reviewed it: one says it's "a communal neighbourhood where every neighbour is there for you", with schools, supermarket, and the station and city centre a ten-minute walk away. The other found it quiet but full of "whingers" who give dirty looks. So it's a mixed bag. The area has many families and a good mix of ages, with plenty of young adults. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Geuzenbuurt.
For daily shopping, you've got AH to go just around the corner, SPAR express a couple of streets away, and Hoogvliet within a five-minute walk. Schools are close too: Montessorischool Centrum is on your doorstep, Sterrenschool Hilversum is just around the corner, and Jan van Rijckenborghschool is a couple of streets away. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and there's a GP and restaurants nearby. The municipality Hilversum has plenty more to offer.

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 Van Leeuwenhoekstraat 2, Hilversum
At 49 m² and €225,000, that works out to about €4,592 per m². For an apartment in Hilversum with an E label and from 1929, that's in line with the market, not a bargain, but not overpriced either. The neighbourhood is popular, so it's likely to sell at or near asking.
It's a very urban neighbourhood with a high density of addresses. Reviews are mixed: one long-term resident praises the communal feel and convenience, while another complains about unfriendly neighbours. It's quiet just outside the centre, with playgrounds on every corner and good access to schools and shops.
Hilversum station is 1.1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach Amsterdam or Utrecht without needing a car.
AH to go is 360 m away, SPAR express at 401 m, and Hoogvliet at 467 m, all within a five-minute walk. Dirk and Jumbo are a bit further at 615 m and 663 m respectively.
Montessorischool Centrum (primary) is 171 m away, Sterrenschool Hilversum (primary) at 235 m, and Jan van Rijckenborghschool (primary) at 324 m. For secondary, Lucent College is 520 m away.
Label E is below average for efficiency, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a modern home. The exact amount depends on usage, but it's worth factoring in when budgeting.
The CBS recorded 123 total crimes in the neighbourhood, which for a dense urban area is moderate. It's not a high-crime zone, but like any city area, it pays to be aware.
