Living in Zeverijn, Hilversum
Zeverijn is a quiet, predominantly post-war residential neighbourhood in the southwestern part of Hilversum. The buildings mainly consist of multi-family homes and porch flats from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a number of single-family homes. The streetscape is green: trees along the roads, parks between the housing blocks, and relatively much space between buildings. This also explains the high score for green space (8.5/10) that residents give the neighbourhood.
The neighbourhood has a quiet character but is not cut off from the rest of the city. Diependaalselaan forms an important connecting road, and that is also the most frequently mentioned bottleneck. One resident writes: "Diependaalselaan is very busy and you suffer from exhaust fumes. They always accelerate right in front of the flats." Anyone looking for an apartment directly on this road should keep that in mind. Further into the neighbourhood, it is much quieter.
Facilities in Zeverijn
For daily shopping, the Kerkelanden shopping centre is within cycling distance, which includes a supermarket. Closer to home, there are smaller facilities along Diependaalselaan. Primary schools and childcare are available in the immediate vicinity, which is also reflected in the education score of 8.0/10. Residents rate the facilities at 8.5/10, the highest sub-score alongside green space. For more extensive shops, dining, and cultural facilities, the centre of Hilversum is within cycling distance. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Hilversum.

Several bus lines connect the neighbourhood to the centre and other parts of the city.

Neighbourhood itself is fine. Nothing unpleasant. Only the Diependaalselaan is very busy and suffers from exhaust fumes. Speed bumps at the end would make a big difference. They always rev their engines right in front of the flats... Maybe more supervision there...
