Living in Zuidoost: green, community spirit and a few caveats

Zuidoost scores an 8.2 from residents on Buurtje.nl, and when you walk around here you understand why. The neighbourhood feels spacious, with plenty of greenery between the buildings. Residents give the highest scores to community spirit, green spaces and the quality of housing (all 8.8). Resident Lotte writes: "Supermarkets or the train station are not too far away. Easily accessible from the motorway." That's right: the A27 is a few minutes' drive away, and Hilversum station can be reached within ten minutes by bike. Bus lines towards Bussum, Laren and the centre of Hilversum stop at several points in the neighbourhood.

The neighbourhood consists of various districts, each with its own character. In Schilderskwartier you'll find many 1930s homes on leafy avenues, while Arenaparkkwartier is more modern in design. Towards Egelshoek it becomes truly rural, with villa neighbourhoods bordering forest and heathland. For daily groceries, there are supermarkets on the edges of the neighbourhood, and the Hilvertshof shopping centre in the centre is easily accessible. Schools such as Violenschool and Montessorischool are in or near the neighbourhood, which is convenient for families. Sportpark Hilversum offers space for hockey, tennis and football.

Yet it's not all roses. Resident Bianca notes that "there have been more dealers in the area lately," making her sometimes feel unsafe. The safety score of 7.0 is therefore the lowest sub-score. She also mentions that more neighbourhood police would be welcome and that "nature, plants and flowers could use more attention." The score for amenities (7.2) also shows that for more specific shops or hospitality, you'll need to go to Hilversum city centre. If you're considering buying a home in Zuidoost, it's wise to also walk through the neighbourhood in the evening to get your own impression. Information on the municipality's plans for the neighbourhood can be found on the Hilversum municipality website.
