Noord, Hilversum
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Berlagelaan sits in a quiet part of Hilversum-Noord, a neighbourhood built up in the post-war years. At 95 m² it's a good size for a two-bedroom flat, and the E label means you'll want to budget for heating. The asking price of €395,000 is exactly the median for the area, so it's in line with the market, no bargain, but not overpriced either. For context, that's similar to what other apartments in Hilversum go for.
Noord is a lively, mixed neighbourhood with around 7,600 residents. One resident describes it as "Busy but charming", adding: "Generally good but things can always be better in my opinion." That sums it up: plenty going on, but not without its quirks. The area has a strong pre-1970 housing stock (93% built between 1945 and 1970), and most homes are flats. It's fairly urban, with a density of nearly 2,000 addresses per km². The neighbourhood Noord is well served by shops and schools, and the train station is a ten-minute walk away.
For your morning bread run, Jumbo is just around the corner, and there's another Jumbo a couple of streets away. Albert Heijn and Hoogvliet are both about a ten-minute walk. Schools are close too: Da Costaschool (primary) is a five-minute walk, and Hilfertsheem College (secondary) is practically on your doorstep. The municipality Hilversum has a good network of parks and green spaces, though the nearest park is a bit further out.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Nienaber Makelaars Hilversum.

The one resident review gives it a 7.63 out of 10, noting it's "generally good" but could be better. It's fairly urban, with shops, schools and public transport within walking distance.
The home has an E energy label, which is below average for the neighbourhood, only 33% of homes in Noord have a label D or lower. Expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. You could improve the label with insulation or a new heating system, but that's an investment to factor in.

The listing doesn't mention the condition, but the 1951 build year and E label suggest it may need some updating. The floor area is generous at 95 m², so there's plenty of space to work with. You'd want to view it to assess the state of the kitchen, bathroom and finishes.
