Liebergen, Hilversum
NeighbourhoodThis is a home that feels generous from the moment you step inside. With 156 m² of living space and a 171 m² plot, it's a proper family house in a neighbourhood that's all about community. The asking price of €695,000 is 25% above the neighbourhood average of €556,205, but you're getting 38% more floor space than the typical home here, so it's a premium for size rather than just location. For context, terraced houses in Hilversum vary widely, and this one sits at the upper end.
Liebergen is the kind of place where neighbours know each other and look out for one another. One resident, who has lived here their whole life, says: "It's a very nice neighbourhood to grow up in as there are many young families." They also mention the WhatsApp neighbourhood watch and annual outdoor play day. The area is very urban (over 3,000 addresses per km²), yet it's close to heath and forest. Most homes are owner-occupied (70% single-family), and the population is a mix of families and singles. The neighbourhood Liebergen has a strong sense of community.
For your morning bread, Lidl is just around the corner, and PLUS is a couple of streets away. The Nassauschool is on your doorstep, and De Wilgetoren is a short walk further. The Lorentzvijver is nearby for a stroll, and the heath is a five-minute walk. The municipality Hilversum keeps the area well-maintained, with playgrounds and a swimming pool within easy reach.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Westeneng Verbeek Makelaardij, Funda, and Huispedia.

I 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.

The median price in the neighbourhood is €507,000, and recently sold homes averaged €479,703. It's a premium property, but the size justifies the higher price.
Liebergen is a very urban area with a strong community feel. One resident says: 'Everything is nearby (supermarket, school, swimming pool, city centre, heath/forest) and there is very good communication between neighbours.' It's popular with families, and the heath is a big draw for walks and picnics.
