Geuzenbuurt, Hilversum
NeighbourhoodThis 1906 terrace house on Leeghwaterstraat sits in the Geuzenbuurt, a neighbourhood that feels like a village within the city. With 92 m² of living space and a 162 m² plot, it offers a generous layout for a home of this age. The asking price of €485,000 is in line with the market for terraced houses in Hilversum.
Based on two reviews, the Geuzenbuurt gets a 7.26 out of 10. One resident says: "A communal neighbourhood where every neighbour is there for you. Schools, supermarket. The station and the city centre are a 10-minute walk away, there is a playground on every corner." Another is less positive: "Quiet neighbourhood just outside the city centre but full of whingers. Everyone is unnecessarily on top of each other." The neighbourhood Geuzenbuurt is densely populated with 2,650 residents, mostly families and couples, and two-thirds of homes are owner-occupied.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Christelijke Basisschool Avonturijn and Sterrenschool Hilversum. The municipality Hilversum has a strong urban feel, with a train station a ten-minute walk away and plenty of restaurants nearby.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Makelaardij Van Bruggen and also appears on Funda, so it is available through several channels.

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.
