Living in Schilderskwartier, Hilversum
Schilderskwartier is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the southeast of Hilversum, built around streets named after Dutch painters: Rembrandtlaan, Rubensstraat, Vermeerlaan. That naming says something about the tone of the neighbourhood: careful thought has been given to the living environment here. The housing stock largely consists of spacious 1930s and 1950s homes, with wide plots, deep gardens and plenty of greenery in the streets themselves. Detached and semi-detached homes dominate the streetscape, although you also find terraced houses on the edges of the neighbourhood.
The atmosphere is subdued and deliberate. You see little traffic, many cyclists and dog walkers. The average resident is between 45 and 65 years old and highly educated: 59% of residents have a higher professional or university degree. The average income of €64,000 per household is well above the Hilversum average. You notice this in the condition of the homes and the well-kept gardens, but also in the tranquillity the neighbourhood exudes.
In terms of amenities, Schilderskwartier is well but not excessively provided. Daily shopping is done at the supermarkets on Larenseweg or in the Hilversum-Zuid shopping centre, within cycling distance. For a wider range of shops, you go to the centre of Hilversum, about ten minutes away by bike. Primary schools are present in the neighbourhood itself, and the secondary school offering in Hilversum is broad.

Residents most appreciate the peace, space and greenery. On the neighbourhood page for Schilderskwartier you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores in detail. One resident writes: "It's wonderfully quiet here, the streets are wide and green, and the neighbours know each other. But don't expect a bustling neighbourhood life; it's a district to unwind in, not to go out." That sums up the character well. Recurring criticisms are the limited public transport connections and the fact that for anything beyond daily shopping, you need a car or bike.
