Pijlsweerd is a sub-neighbourhood of Utrecht-Noordwest and is made up of Pijlsweerd-Noord and Pijlsweerd-Zuid.
The neighbourhood mostly consists of small, pre-war estate housing and old stately houses.
The neighbourhood was constructed on the grounds of what was once the Bethlehem monastery.
Pijlsweerd was traditionally an area with lots of gardeners and growers. Street names such as Hoveniersstraat and Warmoesstraat still remind of that.
Zijdebalen was a Dutch silk factory and outpost situated in the neighbourhood, next to the Vecht. This once famous factory was situated outside Weerdpoort and Bemuurde Weerd.
From mid 2016, the former grounds of the factory has been in development. About 500 houses have been planned including the return of the Westerstroom.
The Noordse Park is one of the highlights of the neighbourhood. The past years, residents have worked hard to renovate the park. The Noordse Park is quite large, with a hill and a playground.
