About Goudriaanstraat 2B, Hilversum
The asking price of €135,000 is 72% below the average asking price in the Geuzenbuurt (€490,304). However, this studio is also much smaller than the neighbourhood average of 98 m². Given its size and energy label E, the price is keen compared to larger homes in the area, but it reflects the compact living space.
The energy label is E. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. The property was built in 1931, which is typical for the neighbourhood, 81% of homes here date from before 1945.
The train station is 1.1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to other cities.
Jumbo is just 290 m away, so you can walk there in a couple of minutes. Albert Heijn and Hoogvliet are both about 545 m away, a five-minute walk. There's also a SPAR express and an AH to go within 600 m.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: Sterrenschool Hilversum (205 m), Basisschool de Wilge (251 m), and Jan van Rijckenborghschool (290 m). For secondary education, Lucent College is just 238 m away.
Currently, 23 homes are for sale in the neighbourhood. The average asking price is €490,304, and the median is €475,000. Homes here sell relatively quickly, with an average selling time of 33 days.
The Geuzenbuurt is a quiet, pre-war neighbourhood with a mix of families and singles. It has a high address density (3841 addresses per km²), so it feels urban. Residents appreciate the communal feel, though some mention that neighbours can be unfriendly.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
I have lived in the Geuzenbuurt for 16 years, schools, supermarket. The station and the city centre are a 10-minute walk away, there is a playground on every corner. And there are several primary and secondary schools in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood just outside the city centre but full of whingers. Everyone is unnecessarily on top of each other and causes problems for others purely as a hobby. Really a shame because the whole neighbourhood is full of it and you can't have a nice chat with your neighbours, you just get dirty looks everywhere. If I had known that earlier, I might not have bought the house.

Auto-translated to English by AIGreat neighbourhood, working-class neighbourhood where everyone looks out for each other and we help each other when necessary without expecting payment.
Auto-translated to English by AInice neighbourhood, unfortunately the neighbourhood is going downhill due to foreign Dutch people and drug dealers
Auto-translated to English by AIGood, lots of friends and my work is in the neighbourhood. The residents are 9/10 times very friendly and there's always something fun going on.
Auto-translated to English by AII have lived in the Besselstraat my whole life and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Everything is nearby (think: supermarket, school, petrol station, swimming pool, playgrounds, city centre, heath/forest/park, hospital/GP/pharmacy, young and old, snack bar, small beach, etc.) and everything still has the beautiful Dudok architecture. You can leave your bike in the garden without a lock and there is very good communication between neighbours thanks to the WhatsApp neighbourhood watch. Every year a outdoor play day is organised and from 10:00 to 22:00 it's nothing but fun for young and old. We also have good rules in the neighbourhood regarding nuisance, such as set times for DIY work so that as few people as possible are bothered by it. It's always very cosy; for example, when you take a walk on the heath, almost everyone says hello to you. A very nice neighbourhood to grow up in as there are many young families. The heath always looks very clean and beautiful, there are wild bulls and you can walk/picnic/run/mountain bike from sunrise to sunset. There has been some nuisance around the Lorentzvijver by foreigners, but that is very minimal and if you don't interfere they don't do anything, just send the police.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in this neighbourhood for 5 years, I think it's a lovely green neighbourhood! There are also many playgrounds, which the kids love! There are also many grass fields where you can play with the kids. And Seinhorst is right in the neighbourhood, so you're sure to have a supermarket, Etos, Gal&Gal, Blokker and a car park available.
Auto-translated to English by AIPlus points are that there are many playgrounds and that there is a forest
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful green neighbourhood, but there are many roads with too few traffic lights to cross safely. Lots of playgrounds for children, a skate park and many grassy areas to play or walk the dog. A cosy neighbourhood that is accessible to almost everyone!

How residents experience their municipality
Generally good but things can always be better in my opinion
Auto-translated to English by AISafe neighbourhood, occasionally some nuisance from young people
Auto-translated to English by AIWithin a reasonable distance you have supermarkets or the train station. Easily accessible from the motorway
Auto-translated to English by AIYou can easily get home without worries

Auto-translated to English by AINice area in terms of location, close to the forest, the centre and the cosy Gijsbrecht also nearby. Schools and supermarkets around the corner, really a top location. Fellow residents think too much of themselves. Small gardens, so close together and very noisy. Both young people at night and small children during the day. But a nice mix of ages.
Auto-translated to English by AINeighbourhood itself is fine. Nothing unpleasant. Only the Diependaalselaan is very busy and suffers from exhaust fumes. Speed bumps at the end would make a big difference. They always rev their engines right in front of the flats... Maybe more supervision there...
