Van Riebeeckkwartier, Hilversum
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on the Oude Amersfoortseweg sits in a quiet part of Hilversum, with the PLUS supermarket just around the corner.

For context, the average price per m² in the Van Riebeeckkwartier is €4,675, and this home's 64 m² works out to about €5,078 per m², slightly above average, but the energy label B and recent updates may justify that.
