Living in Geuzenbuurt, Hilversum
Geuzenbuurt is located in the eastern part of Hilversum, wedged between the railway line and the broader residential areas of the Oost district. It is a compact, urban neighbourhood with a distinct character: the streets are narrow, the houses are close together, and the streetscape is defined by brick terraced houses mostly dating from the 1920s and 1930s. This gives the neighbourhood a certain authenticity, but also the typical limitations of pre-war construction: smaller rooms, limited outdoor space, and sometimes outdated installations.
What sets the neighbourhood apart is the combination of urban proximity and a quiet living environment at street level. Hilversum city centre and the NS railway station are about a ten-minute walk away, making the neighbourhood attractive for people who do not want or need a car. Resident Maia, who has lived in Geuzenbuurt for sixteen years, describes it as follows: "Schools, supermarket, station and the city centre are within a 10-minute walk, and there is a playground on every corner." That combination of amenities within walking distance is not a given in Hilversum.
In terms of facilities, the neighbourhood is well provided for. There are several primary and secondary schools in the immediate vicinity, making the neighbourhood popular with young families. Daily shopping can be easily done near the centre, where supermarkets and shops are within a short bike ride or walk. The playgrounds scattered throughout the neighbourhood make it a pleasant environment for children. Green space scores a 6 out of 10 in resident ratings, which is logical for a densely built pre-war neighbourhood. There are no large parks or green strips directly nearby, although the surroundings of Hilversum-Oost offer a bit more space.
Accessibility is one of the strongest points: a score of 8 out of 10 from residents. Hilversum NS railway station is within walking distance, with direct connections to Amsterdam, Utrecht and Amersfoort. Several bus routes cross the area. For motorists, the connection to the A27 and A1 motorways can be reached within minutes. Safety even scores a 9 out of 10, which is remarkably high for an urban neighbourhood.
Compared to neighbouring communities such as Astronomische Buurt or Kleine Driftbuurt, Geuzenbuurt has a slightly more accessible price level, although transaction prices in practice are close to the district average. Those looking for more space or preferring a greener environment might also consider Anna's Hoeve or the broader homes for sale in Oost.

Does a home for sale in Geuzenbuurt suit you?
Geuzenbuurt mainly attracts young families and dual-income earners aged 25 to 45, the largest age group in the neighbourhood. The combination of relatively affordable entry prices (homes have been sold for under €200,000), good schools and excellent accessibility makes the neighbourhood attractive for first-time buyers and young parents. However, the supply of homes for sale is limited: only 16 homes were sold in the past year. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Geuzenbuurt must take into account scarce supply and competition for desirable properties. Overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. Those wanting more flexibility can also look at rental homes in Geuzenbuurt as an interim solution.

Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood just outside the city centre but full of whingers. Everyone is unnecessarily on top of each other and causes problems for others purely as a hobby. Really a shame because the whole neighbourhood is full of it and you can't have a nice chat with your neighbours, you just get dirty looks everywhere. If I had known that earlier, I might not have bought the house.
