A calm apartment in the heart of Bilthoven
This apartment on Putterlaan 169 sits in Bilthoven Centrum, a part of Bilthoven where the daily rhythm feels unhurried. The building dates from 1980 and carries an energy label E, which is the least efficient label, so expect higher energy costs. With a floor area of 99 square metres according to the agent, the asking price of €395,000 works out at €3,990 per square metre. That price is 23% below the average asking price of €512,667 for homes in this neighbourhood, a comparison that puts it in the keen category. For context, the neighbourhood currently has 12 homes for sale, with an average asking price of €512,667. If you are weighing up options, it is worth noting that the average price per square metre across the neighbourhood is €6,356, and there are also apartments in De Bilt to consider.
The home itself
The agent describes this as an apartment with two rooms, though the listing does not specify how these are divided between living and sleeping spaces. The BAG registration records a living area of 105 square metres, while the agent lists 99 square metres. Both figures are given, but the difference is not explained. The property was built in 1980, a fact that stands on its own without implying anything about its condition. The energy label E suggests that heating and electricity costs will be on the higher side, but no further details about insulation or installations are provided in this listing.
Bilthoven Centrum

Residents across the municipality of De Bilt give their living environment an average score of 6.22, based on four reviews.

Another resident, however, paints a very different picture, mentioning a deterioration in the living environment and safety concerns in the evenings. These contrasting views come from reviews at the municipality level, so they describe De Bilt as a whole rather than this specific neighbourhood.
