Living in Transvaal, Baarn

Transvaal lies in the greener part of Baarn and exudes an atmosphere best described as quiet-village-like with a touch of allure. The streets are wide, the gardens large, and the housing consists mainly of detached and semi-detached homes from the first half of the twentieth century, supplemented by a number of larger villas. It is not a neighbourhood you happen to walk through: you are there because you live there or are visiting someone.

The largest age group consists of people between 45 and 65, and that is noticeable in the streetscape. It is a neighbourhood of families who are a step further in life, with children cycling to school and adults leaving quietly in the morning. The average income of €72,000 and the high education level of 59% highly educated fit this picture. Transvaal is not a neighbourhood for starters, but for people who consciously choose space and peace within reach of everything.

In terms of amenities, you benefit from the proximity of Baarn centre, within walking distance or a short bike ride. There you will find supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo, a varied range of shops on the Brinkstraat and surrounding area, and various catering establishments. For schools, there are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, and residents even give education a perfect score of 10.0. For sports, there are opportunities at the tennis club, De Hoornse Plas swimming pool and various walking routes through the forests of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, which literally start around the corner.

Accessibility also scores a 10.0 from residents, and that is not an exaggeration. Baarn station is within cycling distance and offers direct connections to Utrecht and Amersfoort. Via the A27 and A1 you are quickly on the motorway. For those who travel to Amsterdam or Utrecht daily, it takes less than three-quarters of an hour. This makes Transvaal attractive for people who want to combine the peace of Baarn with work in the Randstad.

Resident Isabel describes it aptly: "Apart from the occasional insecurity in this village, I could not have wished for a better place to live. Villages are always so cosy, so this one too. Everything is accessible and everything and everyone is well provided for." Safety scores a 7.0, the lowest sub-score, but that must be seen in perspective: Baarn is not a problem area.

Who is a home in Transvaal suitable for?

Transvaal is pre-eminently a neighbourhood for movers and families looking for space, greenery and peace, without giving up the connection to the city. With purchase prices starting around €650,000 and an average of over €1.2 million, this is not territory for starters or those with a limited budget. Overbidding is realistic in this segment, especially on homes in the lower price range of the band. Supply is limited: only a handful of homes are sold per year, so you need to be able to act quickly. Those considering renting as an alternative can take a look at the rental homes in Transvaal, although that supply is equally scarce. Seniors who want to exchange space for convenience would do well to compare other neighbourhoods as well.
