Living in Ridderoordsche Bossen, De Bilt
Ridderoordsche Bossen is not a neighbourhood you stumble upon by chance. It is a quiet enclave on the edge of Bilthoven, wedged between woodland and the more spacious residential areas of Bilthoven Noord. The name says it all: trees, paths and low building density define the character of this place. With 280 residents and 55 homes, it is one of the smallest neighbourhoods in the municipality of De Bilt, and you notice that. It is quiet, orderly and green here, without having to drive far for amenities.
The housing stock mainly consists of detached houses and spacious semi-detached houses, partly built in the 1950s and 1960s. Apartments are hardly to be found here. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Ridderoordsche Bossen will be disappointed: that segment is almost entirely absent. The buildings are modest in scale, the gardens are large and the streets are quiet. The streetscape is reminiscent of an emerging villa neighbourhood, without the frills that word sometimes brings.
For daily shopping, the centre of Bilthoven is within cycling distance, with, among others, an Albert Heijn and various specialist shops on Soestdijkseweg-Noord and in the centre.
