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.

About Leeghwaterstraat 45, Hilversum
The asking price of €450,000 is in line with the market for terraced houses in Hilversum. The home has 90 m² of living space and a 77 m² plot, which is typical for a house of this age in the Geuzenbuurt. Without a direct comparison of recent sales in the street, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not overpriced for the area.
The Geuzenbuurt is a densely populated neighbourhood with a mix of families and young adults. Reviews are mixed: one resident praises the communal spirit, while another complains about unfriendly neighbours. The area has good amenities, with supermarkets and schools within walking distance, and the train station is a ten-minute walk away.
The home has an energy label D, which is average for a house built in 1906. You can expect moderate heating costs, but it's not the most efficient. Improvements like double glazing or insulation could help, but the label is as stated.
