Living in De Bilt West, De Bilt

De Bilt West is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood with a distinct residential area character. It is not a neighbourhood with a bustling centre or busy shopping streets, but that is precisely what many residents are looking for here. The streets are spacious, there is relatively much greenery between the houses, and traffic is limited. The buildings mostly date from the 1960s and 1970s: terraced houses, semi-detached houses and occasionally a detached house on a slightly larger plot. These are homes with character, but also with age. When buying, it is wise to take into account the condition of the roof, window frames and insulation during viewings.

For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. There are supermarkets within cycling distance, and the centre of De Bilt with its local shops and catering facilities is easily accessible.
