Living in Hil (south), Loon op Zand
Hil (south) is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the southern edge of Kaatsheuvel, the village most people know as the home of the Efteling. The neighbourhood has a distinct residential character: wide streets, many detached and semi-detached homes, mostly built in the 1980s and 1990s. It is not a place you pass through by chance, but a location people consciously choose for its peace and space. The average WOZ value of €388,000 speaks volumes: this is one of the more expensive residential areas in the municipality.
The population largely consists of 45- to 65-year-olds (over a third of the 680 residents) and households without children. This gives the neighbourhood a somewhat subdued atmosphere. Young families and first-time buyers are less represented, although families with children can also be found.

The immediate neighbourhood itself has few facilities of its own, but Kaatsheuvel centre is within cycling distance.

Secondary school students rely on schools in Kaatsheuvel or Waalwijk.
