Living in Liebergen, Hilversum
Liebergen is a green, spacious residential neighbourhood on the eastern side of Hilversum, roughly nestled between the Diependaalselaan, the Neuweg and the forested edges towards the Hoorneboegse Heide. The neighbourhood has a recognisable post-war character with many terraced houses, porch flats and multi-family homes from the 1950s and 1960s, interspersed with newer apartments. Streets such as the Besselstraat, the Liebergerweg and the Rembrandtlaan give the neighbourhood a quiet, village-like atmosphere, despite being just a few minutes' bike ride from the centre of Hilversum. With 5,145 residents, it is a medium-sized neighbourhood. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (1,520 people), but there are also many families with children (935 residents under 15). Single-person households form the largest group (930), which fits with the large share of rental apartments.
Facilities in Liebergen

The Hilvertshof shopping centre in the centre is a five-minute bike ride away. There are several primary schools in and around the neighbourhood, including De Klimop and De Regenboog. For secondary education, the Alberdingk Thijm College is nearby. Sports enthusiasts can go to the Hilversumse Meent swimming pool, which is literally in the neighbourhood, and there are several playgrounds for children. Tergooi Hospital (now Tergooi MC) is a stone's throw away on the Rijksstraatweg. GPs and a pharmacy are also close by. Resident Luca, who grew up on the Besselstraat, sums it up well: "Everything is nearby: supermarket, school, petrol station, swimming pool, playgrounds, hospital, GP, pharmacy." The greenery is also a plus: the Hoorneboegse Heide and the Corversbos are a few minutes' bike ride away, and along the Diependaalselaan you will find the beach at the Diependaalse Plas.

Is Liebergen right for you as a tenant?
Liebergen attracts a mixed audience. Young couples and families with children feel at home here because of the schools, playgrounds and greenery. The large number of social housing units also makes the neighbourhood accessible to people with a more modest budget, although waiting lists for housing associations in the Gooi region are long. Register in time via WoningNet if you want to be eligible. For the private sector: respond quickly, because with an average of 21 rentals per year, supply is limited. Make sure you have your income proof and references ready. An honest downside: private-sector rental prices are steep for what you get, especially compared to the average income in the neighbourhood. Considering buying? Then also check the supply of homes for sale in Liebergen, because with a WOZ value below the Hilversum average, this could be relatively attractive here.

I have lived in the Besselstraat my whole life and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Everything is nearby (think: supermarket, school, petrol station, swimming pool, playgrounds, city centre, heath/forest/park, hospital/GP/pharmacy, young and old, snack bar, small beach, etc.) and everything still has the beautiful Dudok architecture. You can leave your bike in the garden without a lock and there is very good communication between neighbours thanks to the WhatsApp neighbourhood watch. Every year a outdoor play day is organised and from 10:00 to 22:00 it's nothing but fun for young and old. We also have good rules in the neighbourhood regarding nuisance, such as set times for DIY work so that as few people as possible are bothered by it. It's always very cosy; for example, when you take a walk on the heath, almost everyone says hello to you. A very nice neighbourhood to grow up in as there are many young families. The heath always looks very clean and beautiful, there are wild bulls and you can walk/picnic/run/mountain bike from sunrise to sunset. There has been some nuisance around the Lorentzvijver by foreigners, but that is very minimal and if you don't interfere they don't do anything, just send the police.
