What does Prins Hendrikkwartier offer?

Bussum sits between forest and water, yet you're not cut off: the centre is walkable and trains to Amsterdam run every fifteen minutes. The homes here are mostly 1930s villas and postwar family houses, many with gardens that actually have space. Your neighbours tend to be settled, established people who've been here for decades. The Gooi has a reputation for wealth, but Bussum itself feels less exclusive than Hilversum next door, more straightforward family comfort.
