Living in Trompenberg-Zuid, Hilversum
Trompenberg-Zuid is a quiet, green neighbourhood on the northwest side of Hilversum, nestled between the Trompenberg area and the leafy lanes characteristic of this part of the city. The neighbourhood has a distinctly village-like character: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, and an atmosphere that feels more like a quiet residential enclave than an urban neighbourhood. The housing stock largely consists of detached and semi-detached houses from the first half of the twentieth century, supplemented by a few post-war additions. Rental properties in Trompenberg-Zuid are therefore not standard porch flats; they are more often spacious homes or apartments in converted buildings.

This is also noticeable in the atmosphere: it is quiet on the streets, there is little traffic, and the neighbourhood attracts predominantly established, highly educated residents (62% highly educated).
