About Oosterengweg 284, Hilversum
The asking price of €350,000 is about 7.5% above the neighbourhood average of €325,000. However, the average sold price in the area recently was €389,652, which suggests that homes here can go for more. The price per square metre (€4,861) is also slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,675. Given the energy label F, you may need to budget for improvements.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency, so heating and electricity bills are likely to be higher than in a modern home. In the Van Riebeeckkwartier, 42.9% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area. You may want to consider insulation or other upgrades to reduce long-term costs.
Residents give the neighbourhood a safety score of 8.16 out of 10, but one review mentions an increase in dealers making them feel a bit unsafe.
