Living in Professorenwijk, Baarn

Professorenwijk is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood in the northern part of Baarn. The name refers to the street names in the area, which are named after scientists and academics. This immediately gives the neighbourhood some character: it's not an anonymous new-build estate, but a place with its own identity. The housing stock largely consists of homes from the 1950s and 1960s, with terraced houses and semi-detached houses being the most common types. Detached homes are also present, but they are scarce and at the top of the price range.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is well-served for daily life. Within walking distance you'll find a supermarket and various small shops. Primary schools are nearby, which partly explains why families with children form the largest household group. There are 370 households with children, a notably high proportion for a neighbourhood of this size. For secondary education, several schools are available in Baarn itself. The Baarnse Bos is within cycling distance and offers space for walking and recreation, one of the reasons residents appreciate the neighbourhood. One resident describes it as follows: "The peace and greenery make living here pleasant, but you have to get used to the limited range of shops compared to a larger city."

Accessibility is a strong point. Baarn station is within cycling distance and offers direct connections to Utrecht and Amersfoort. By car, the A1 and A27 can be reached within ten to fifteen minutes. Bus services connect the neighbourhood with the centre of Baarn and surrounding towns. For those commuting daily to Utrecht or Amsterdam, the train connection is the most practical option.

Compared to other neighbourhoods in the same district, Professorenwijk has a somewhat more mixed character. The Componistenwijk and the Staatsliedenwijk are in the same area and have a similar structure, but sometimes have a slightly higher proportion of owner-occupied homes. The Schilderswijk has its own character with different housing types. If you want to know more about what residents of Professorenwijk themselves think, you can find all reviews, scores per category and current neighbourhood data on the main neighbourhood page of Professorenwijk. The average income per resident in the neighbourhood is €29,600, which is noticeably lower than the municipal average of €45,300. This reflects the mixed population composition: starters, families and older people live side by side here.

Who is a home in Professorenwijk interesting for?

Professorenwijk is most interesting for families looking for a more affordable entry into Baarn without leaving the municipality. The average purchase price of €623,250 is high in absolute terms, but is below the municipal average. Movers who have already built up equity are realistically suited here. Starters will find it difficult: prices are generally too high for them and supply is limited with only six sales in the past year. Those who are flexible can also look at rental properties in Professorenwijk, where supply is larger. Seniors who want to live quietly with good public transport connections also find a suitable environment here, provided the home is on one level or adaptable.
