Living in Bilthoven Noord II, De Bilt

Those who come to live in Bilthoven Noord II step into a quiet, green enclave on the north side of Bilthoven. The neighbourhood largely consists of spacious detached and semi-detached houses on large plots, partly built in the 1950s and 1960s, with some more recent infill.

The character is decidedly not urban: it is quiet, green and well-arranged.

The population composition says a lot about the atmosphere. The largest age group is 65-plus (over 700 of the 2,215 residents), followed by the 45-65 age group. Young families and starters are clearly in the minority. You notice this in the neighbourhood: it is not a place with a lot of street activity, but neither is it deserted. Single-person households form the largest household group (335), which fits the ageing population. Nearly half of the residents are married.

Bilthoven station is about a ten-minute cycle from the neighbourhood and offers direct connections to Utrecht Centraal (about ten minutes) and Amersfoort. Bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the centre of De Bilt and surrounding villages. For motorists, the junction with the A28 (towards Utrecht and Amersfoort) is the most used route.

Green space is a strong point. The Ridderoordsche Bossen are within walking distance, giving the neighbourhood an almost rural feel.

Sports clubs for tennis, hockey and football are active in and around Bilthoven.
