Bilthoven is where you'll find spacious detached homes on generous plots, surrounded by woodland and water that actually gives you room to breathe. Families who want to escape Utrecht's bustle but stay close to the city gravitate here. You'll find good schools, a serious tennis culture (the clubs here are well-established), and your neighbours are as likely to be retirees as young families with kids.
