Astronomische Buurt, Hilversum
NeighbourhoodThis 1930s apartment on Kometenstraat sits in the Astronomische Buurt, a neighbourhood with a strong community feel. At 50 m² it's a compact home, and with a price of €299,000 it sits well below the neighbourhood average, about 38% lower than the typical asking price in this part of town. For context, that's a keen price for an apartment in Hilversum, especially when you look at apartments in Hilversum as a whole.
The Astronomische Buurt is a green part of Hilversum with plenty of playgrounds and grass fields, residents with children particularly appreciate that. One resident says: "I've lived here for 5 years, it's a lovely green neighbourhood! There are many playgrounds, which the kids love!" Another describes it as "cosy" and notes that "the residents are 9/10 times very friendly and there's always something fun going on." However, not all feedback is glowing: one resident remarks that "the neighbourhood is going downhill due to foreign Dutch people and drug dealers." Based on four reviews, the average score is 8.02 out of 10. The area is densely built (over 2,700 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of family households. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Astronomische Buurt.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in this neighbourhood for 5 years, I think it's a lovely green neighbourhood! There are also many playgrounds, which the kids love! There are also many grass fields where you can play with the kids. And Seinhorst is right in the neighbourhood, so you're sure to have a supermarket, Etos, Gal&Gal, Blokker and a car park available.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful green neighbourhood, but there are many roads with too few traffic lights to cross safely. Lots of playgrounds for children, a skate park and many grassy areas to play or walk the dog. A cosy neighbourhood that is accessible to almost everyone!
