Buying a home in Treslong, Hillegom.

Treslong is where you'll find straightforward, solid family homes from the 1970s and 80s—no showpieces, just reliable brick and space. Your neighbours tend to be people who've stayed put for years, people who know the town inside out. You're minutes from the bulb fields and the nurseries that define this whole corner of South Holland, and the centre of Hillegom with its shops and cafés is an easy walk or bike ride. It's not glossy, but it's honest ground.

What to consider when buying in Treslong

Pros:

  • Short cycle ride to Hillegom train station (NS direct line to Amsterdam, The Hague, and Leiden), no car needed for work commutes
  • Relatively affordable compared to western Amsterdam suburbs; detached and semi-detached homes are more spacious for the price
  • Direct access to bulbfield routes; cycling through tulip fields in spring is genuinely different from any other Dutch town
  • Quiet residential streets with low traffic; families find it peaceful without feeling cut off

Cons:

  • No supermarket within walking distance; you'll cycle to the Lidl on Torenmarkt or drive elsewhere
  • Train station is 20 minutes by bike in bad weather; not practical for daily commuters who can't cycle
  • Limited evening entertainment; closest bars and restaurants are in Hillegom town centre, 2–3km away
  • Bulbfield tourism in spring brings cyclist congestion on Zeestraat and surrounding routes
  • Few young professionals choose it; your social circle will skew older or family-focused
