Safe neighbourhood, occasionally some nuisance from young people
Auto-translated to English by AIKerkelanden is very safe during the day, at night there is sometimes some nuisance but hardly anything that bothers you. Public transport connection is relatively good, bus goes every 15 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes in the evening, which could be improved to make public transport better for young people who want to go out in the evening.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe apartment where I live is very noisy. If you don't get along with the neighbours, you can follow their every move. Safety has also deteriorated greatly in the neighbourhood. Fireworks are thrown at people and animals, things are being demolished, set on fire, and rapidly falling into disrepair. It's a green neighbourhood, but a strange nature policy is applied. Every week/day, mowing or leaf removal is done with the necessary noise! Clean and tidy takes precedence over the welfare of the animals, unfortunately! The cosiness is hard to find, unfortunately!
Auto-translated to English by AITerrible neighbourhood, sad how it's going downhill and Moroccans try to call the shots. Neighbourhood police and BOA are nowhere to be seen. Lots of traffic nuisance Assaults, stabbings caught on camera. Intimidation
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood but public transport is terrible.
Auto-translated to English by AIKerkelanden is a cosy neighbourhood with many elderly people. All amenities are nearby in Kerkelanden shopping centre. Plenty of sports facilities with a small swimming pool and various gyms. It is generally quiet in the neighbourhood, with a few exceptions. Downsides for me are that there is little greenery and a lot of traffic.

About Geert Grootelaan 3, Hilversum
Yes, it's in line with the market. The median price in Kerkelanden is exactly €375,000, and the average price per m² is €4,754. At 87 m², this home is priced at about €4,310 per m², which is slightly below the neighbourhood average. Homes here sell quickly, typically within 20 days, so it's a realistic asking price.
The energy label is B, which is efficient. Over half the homes in the neighbourhood have label A or better, so B is still good. You can expect moderate energy costs, though exact amounts depend on usage. The home was built in 1968, so it's not a new build, but label B suggests reasonable insulation.
The nearest train station is 4.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance. But bus services are good: a resident reports buses every 15 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes in the evening. The bus stop is likely close by, making it feasible to commute without a car.
Reviews are mixed. One resident says it's a "safe neighbourhood, occasionally some nuisance from young people". Another mentions that safety has deteriorated, with fireworks and vandalism. Noise can be an issue in 1970s apartments, one review notes that if you don't get along with neighbours, you can hear everything. It's a green area with many older residents.
The Augustinusschool primary school is 246 metres away, a five-minute walk. Albert Heijn is 513 metres and Lidl is 581 metres, both within a couple of streets. For secondary education, the Alberdingk Thijm Scholen are 1.3 km away. Daily errands are easily done on foot.
Opinions differ. One resident describes it as "very safe during the day" but notes occasional nuisance at night. Another says safety has "deteriorated greatly", mentioning fireworks thrown at people and animals, and vandalism. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 218, which is moderate. It's best to visit at different times to get a feel.
