About Havenstraat 17A, Hilversum
The asking price of €295,000 is 38% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€477,182) and also below the median of €422,500. However, the flat is compact at 45 m², which is 53% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 95 m². So the price per square metre is actually €6,556, which is above the neighbourhood average of €5,037 per m². It's a fair price for a small flat in a central location.
The energy label is D. This means the home is moderately energy-efficient. You can expect reasonable heating costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern A-rated home. In the neighbourhood, about 35% of homes have label A, while 30% have label D or lower. So this flat is in the middle of the pack.
The train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting to Amsterdam or Utrecht. The neighbourhood is very urban, so you'll also find bus stops nearby.
There are several supermarkets within walking distance: Aldi at 407 m, Albert Heijn at 428 m, and Dirk at 500 m. For daily groceries, you're well covered. The town centre of Hilversum is also close by, with a variety of shops and restaurants.
The neighbourhood recorded 69 total crimes in the latest data. That's a moderate number for a densely populated urban area. The area is lively and popular with young professionals and students.
This is an apartment built in 1910, so it has pre-war character. The building is likely part of the older housing stock in the neighbourhood, where 65% of homes were built before 1945. Expect typical features of that era, such as high ceilings.
