Liebergen, Hilversum
NeighbourhoodThis mid-terrace house on Van de Sande Bakhuyzenstraat sits in a quiet, leafy part of Hilversum Oost. With 89 m² of living space and a 98 m² plot, it's a compact but well-proportioned home that still has its original character, think high ceilings and period details. The asking price of €519,000 is in line with the market for terraced houses in Hilversum, where the median is €507,000 and the average per m² is €4,813.
Liebergen is one of Hilversum's most sought-after residential areas, and it's easy to see why. One resident who has lived here their whole life says: "Everything is nearby, supermarket, school, swimming pool, playgrounds, city centre, heath, and everything still has the beautiful Dudok architecture." The neighbourhood is very family-oriented, with many young families and a strong sense of community. "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," they add. The neighbourhood Liebergen has a high urban density (3,022 addresses per km²) but still feels green, with the heath and parks just a short walk away.
For your morning croissant, Lidl is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Hoogvliet are a couple of streets away. The Lorentzschool is practically on your doorstep, a five-minute walk for the kids, and the Nassauschool and De Wilgetoren are also within easy reach. The municipality Hilversum has a strong network of amenities, with a GP, pharmacy, and hospital all nearby. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making commuting to Amsterdam or Utrecht straightforward.

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.

About Van de Sande Bakhuyzenstraat 64, Hilversum
The asking price of €519,000 is very close to the median of €507,000 for homes in Liebergen. Given the 89 m² floor area and the fact that it's a mid-terrace house from 1931 with energy label C, the price is in line with the local market. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €4,813, which works out to about €428,000 for this size, but that average includes all property types, so a terraced house typically commands a premium.
Liebergen is very family-friendly. One resident describes it as a "perfect neighbourhood to start a family," with many young families, good schools, and plenty of playgrounds. The Lorentzschool is just 124 metres away, and there are several other primary schools within walking distance. The neighbourhood also organises an annual outdoor play day, and the heath is a popular spot for picnics and walks.
Hilversum train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. From there, you can reach Amsterdam Centraal in about 30 minutes and Utrecht in 15 minutes. The station is well-connected, with frequent intercity and sprinter services.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house of this age. In Liebergen, 40% of homes have label C, and 25% have a lower rating. Label C means the home is reasonably efficient, but you may want to consider additional insulation or double glazing to improve comfort and reduce energy bills. The exact energy costs depend on usage, but label C is generally manageable.
According to the resident review, there has been some minor nuisance around the Lorentzvijver caused by foreigners, but they note it is very minimal and not a problem if you don't interfere. The neighbourhood has a WhatsApp neighbourhood watch and good rules about noise, such as set times for DIY work. Overall, the area is considered very safe and cosy.

The house was built in 1931, so it has classic 1930s features like high ceilings and original details. The energy label C suggests it has been reasonably maintained, but you may want to check the condition of the roof, windows, and heating system.
