Centrum, Hilversum
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. Right on the Kerkbrink, in the heart of Hilversum, you get a spacious 180 m² apartment with an A+ energy label, a rare combination. The building dates from 1943, so it has character, but the efficiency is thoroughly modern. At €975,000, this is the most expensive of the 25 homes currently for sale in the Centrum neighbourhood, and the price sits 82% above the local average of €536,620. That reflects the size and quality: for apartments in Hilversum, this is a top-end offering.
Centrum is the bustling heart of Hilversum, with 3,755 residents living in a very urban setting (4,112 addresses per km²). It's a neighbourhood of singles and couples: the average household size is just 1.7, and a third of households are one-person. There are few children here, but plenty of energy. The area has a high proportion of pre-war buildings (52% built before 1945), which gives the streets a classic, established feel. With 777 reported incidents, it's a lively urban centre, not a quiet suburb, but that's part of the appeal for those who want to be where things happen.
Your daily routine here is wonderfully compact. For groceries, Aldi is just around the corner, Dirk is a couple of streets away, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. Bread and milk are never far. For school runs, the Gemeentelijk Gymnasium Hilversum is a five-minute walk, and the Violenschool primary school is just beyond that. The municipality Hilversum has a strong cultural scene, with a restaurant on your doorstep and the train station a ten-minute walk away, handy for Amsterdam or Utrecht.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Westeneng Verbeek Makelaardij Hilversum and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

About Kerkbrink 14, Hilversum
It's the highest-priced home among the 25 currently for sale in Centrum, and 82% above the neighbourhood average of €536,620. But the apartment is also 84% larger than the average (180 m² vs 98 m²) and has an A+ energy label, which is exceptional. So the price reflects a premium product in a location.
An A+ label means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity bills compared to older homes. In Centrum, only about 26% of homes have A+ or better, so this is a strong asset.
Centrum is very urban and lively, with a high density of shops, restaurants and services. The supermarket is just around the corner, and the train station is a ten-minute walk. It's a neighbourhood of singles and couples, with a mix of historic and modern buildings.
Sold homes in Centrum took an average of 33 days to sell, which is fairly quick. That suggests demand is healthy, though this particular home is at a higher price point.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The plot size is not stated either, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor space.
With 180 m², it's likely spacious, but the exact layout is not provided.
