Homes for sale in Liebergen, Hilversum

House prices and market figures for Liebergen, Hilversum

The owner-occupied market in Liebergen is relatively limited in size: about 40% of the more than 2,255 homes are owner-occupied, while 60% are rented, most of which through a housing association. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes scarce, which impacts prices. Over the past twelve months, 8 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €489,375 and a range of €310,000 to €695,000. With an average living area of 102 m², this equates to a price of approximately €4,800 per square metre.

The average WOZ value in Liebergen is €356,000. This is clearly below the average for the Oost district (€394,000) and well below the Hilversum average of €451,000. Liebergen is therefore a relatively affordable neighbourhood, certainly for Hilversum, although the realised sale prices show that significant amounts are indeed paid in actual transactions.

Living in Liebergen, Hilversum

Liebergen is a neighbourhood that you don't immediately associate with the more well-known Hilversum villa neighbourhoods, but on closer inspection offers a remarkably complete and pleasant living environment. The neighbourhood borders the east of Hilversum and has a mix of post-war porch flats, single-family homes from the 1960s and 1970s, and a limited number of newer owner-occupied homes. The architecture of W.M. Dudok, the famous city architect of Hilversum, is still visible here and there in the area, giving the neighbourhood its own recognisable character.

Resident Luca, who has lived his entire life on Besselstraat, describes Liebergen as a "perfect neighbourhood to start a family" and lists what makes the neighbourhood so complete: a supermarket, primary schools, a petrol station, a swimming pool, playgrounds, a snack bar, a small beach, and direct access to heathland, forest and park. That is not an exaggeration. Within walking distance you will find the Corversbos and the Hilversumse Meent, and the Laarder Wasmeer is within cycling distance. For daily groceries, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood.

In terms of amenities, Liebergen scores highly. There are several primary schools in and directly around the neighbourhood, a GP practice, a pharmacy, and the Tergooi MC hospital is easily accessible. The Kerkelanden shopping centre, a short bike ride away, provides a wide range of shops. The neighbourhood has its own supermarket and sufficient small amenities for daily life.

Accessibility is a strong point. Bus lines connect Liebergen with the centre of Hilversum and Hilversum station, from where you can be in Utrecht or Amsterdam in about twenty minutes. By car, the A27 is quickly reachable. Cyclists are well catered for: the centre of Hilversum is a fifteen-minute bike ride away, and the nature reserves are literally just around the corner.

The neighbourhood has a mixed population composition with relatively many single-person households (930) and a large group of 25 to 45-year-olds. This gives Liebergen an active but not overly busy character. Compared to neighbourhoods such as Astronomische Buurt or Anna's Hoeve, Liebergen is slightly more working-class in character, with more social housing, but also with a strong sense of community. More neighbourhood data, resident reviews and background information can be found on the Liebergen neighbourhood page.

Who is a home in Liebergen interesting for?

Liebergen mainly appeals to young families and first-time buyers who want to live in Hilversum without paying the highest prices of districts such as Centrum or Centrum Hilversum. The presence of schools, green spaces and affordable owner-occupied homes makes the neighbourhood attractive for families who see buying a home in Liebergen as a conscious choice. But let's be honest: the supply is small (only 8 transactions in a year), which means you have to act quickly when something becomes available. Overbidding is a real possibility.
