Living among the villas: what makes P.H.W.park so different from the rest of Baarn
P.H.W.park is no ordinary residential area. The neighbourhood, named after the former Prins Hendrikpark area, consists of wide avenues with stately homes, plenty of greenery, and a remarkable tranquillity you won't find in a larger city. The homes sit on spacious plots, the streets are not busy, and the character is that of a villa district that people deliberately choose. On the neighbourhood page for P.H.W.park you will find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents particularly appreciate the peace, space, and green appearance of the area. A common point in the reviews is that the neighbourhood feels safe and that neighbours know each other without it becoming stifling. One resident describes it as: "you have your own space, but there is a sense of community." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited walking distance to daily amenities and the fact that you still need the car for most errands.
For daily shopping, the centre of Baarn is within cycling distance. There you will find supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo, a weekly market, and various specialist shops. Within the neighbourhood itself, there are no shops. Schools in the area are plentiful: primary schools like De Baarnsche School and the Baarnsch Lyceum for secondary education are a short distance away.
