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 Simon Stevinweg 20, Hilversum
The asking price of €410,000 is in line with the market for terraced houses in Hilversum. The home has 92 m² of living space and a 79 m² plot, with an energy label C. Without comparable sales data for the neighbourhood, 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 opinions. One long-term resident praises the community spirit and convenience, with schools, supermarkets, and the station within a ten-minute walk. Another complains about unfriendly neighbours and a tense atmosphere. The area has many families and a high proportion of owner-occupied homes.
Hilversum station is 1.1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The resident review also mentions the station is a ten-minute walk, so that matches.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Montessorischool Centrum (183 m), Sterrenschool Hilversum (202 m), Jan van Rijckenborghschool (290 m), and Christelijke Basisschool Avonturijn (506 m). For secondary education, Lucent College is 508 m away.
SPAR express is 379 m away, AH to go is 390 m, Hoogvliet is 501 m, Jumbo is 641 m, and Dirk is 649 m. So you have several options within a five- to ten-minute walk.
The energy label is C, which is average for a house of this age. It means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme.
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot is 79 m², but that includes the footprint of the house, so there may be a small yard.
