Living in Zuid: high scores for accessibility, but shops leave something to be desired
On Buurtje.nl, residents give Zuid an 8.4 out of 10. That's a nice score, but the details are most telling. Accessibility, sense of community and education all score a perfect 10. That's not surprising when you know that Hilversum station is within cycling distance and the A27 is easily accessible via the Soestdijkerstraatweg. The schools in the district, including primary schools in the Schrijverskwartier and the Bloemenkwartier, are appreciated by parents. One resident sums it up succinctly: the accessibility is excellent and the educational offering is complete, from primary to secondary school.
Where Zuid scores lower is on amenities: a 6.0. You recognise that if you live there. There are no large supermarkets or shopping streets in the district itself. For your daily shopping, you rely on the shops on Gijsbrecht van Amstelstraat or the centre. The Hilvertshof is a ten-minute bike ride away, but if you're used to a supermarket around the corner, that can be disappointing. Beauty scores a 7.0, which feels fair: Zuid is green and quiet with beautiful avenues in Bloemenkwartier Noord and Bloemenkwartier Zuid, but it's not a picturesque village. It's a neat, well-maintained residential area where most streets look tidy, without being particularly distinctive.
The atmosphere varies by neighbourhood. The Staatsliedenkwartier and Zeeheldenkwartier have a more compact, village-like appearance with terraced houses and narrow streets. More families and elderly people who have lived there for decades live here. The Bloemenkwartier is more spacious, with detached houses and more greenery. The largest age group in Zuid is 45 to 65 years (almost 5,000 residents), and with 3,220 single-person households as the largest group, you notice that the district is ageing. Yet there are also plenty of young families, especially in the neighbourhoods closer to the schools. More experiences and all reviews can be found on the district page of Zuid.
Renting in Zuid: for whom and for whom not?
With an average income of €44,200 and 43% highly educated, Zuid mainly attracts dual-income earners, professionals working at the Media Park and families looking for space. Renting an apartment in Zuid is feasible if you have a moderate to above-average income, but the free sector only really starts at €810 and the average of €2,204 makes it difficult for starters.
