Nice area in terms of location, close to the forest, the centre and the cosy Gijsbrecht also nearby. Schools and supermarkets around the corner, really a top location. Fellow residents think too much of themselves. Small gardens, so close together and very noisy. Both young people at night and small children during the day. But a nice mix of ages.
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood to live in for 48 years. A major drawback is road safety. It has deteriorated significantly since the arrival of AH. And that's a shame. It's not a question of if something will go wrong, but when. And as residents, you absolutely don't want that. Kind regards, Betty Hendriks.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnsafe traffic situation. Very antisocial driving behaviour. It's a miracle that nothing has happened yet. A lot of nuisance from visitors to the AH. It's also hard to talk to them when you point something out. We have the Corversbos around the corner. And the schools are easily accessible.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in a cosy neighbourhood. The residents are very diverse. I can't report any crime. In short, all good. Kind regards, Betty Hendriks. ✅
Auto-translated to English by AIA busy but cosy neighbourhood to live in. The downside is that traffic rules are completely ignored. Many young families with children have moved in over the past few years, and as older residents like my husband and I (48), we find it hard to make contact with them. Completely different generation. Kind regards, Betty Hendriks.

About Turfstraat 44, Hilversum
The asking price of €345,000 is below the average sale price in Het Rode Dorp, which was €642,500 for recent sales. However, that average is based on only four sales, so it may not reflect this specific apartment's value. The price per m² works out to about €4,792, which is reasonable for a 72 m² flat in this part of Hilversum.
Het Rode Dorp is a densely built area with a mix of ages and families. Residents appreciate the location near the forest and centre, but note that houses are close together and traffic safety is a concern, especially around the Albert Heijn. The neighbourhood scores 6.9 out of 10 from five reviews.
The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This makes commuting to Amsterdam or Utrecht feasible, though you'd need a bike or car for the last leg.
Primary schools within walking distance include Basisschool Vondelschool (700 m) and Openbare Basisschool Elckerlyc (766 m). For secondary education, the Gemeentelijk Gymnasium Hilversum (600 m) and A. Roland Holst College (700 m) are close by.
The energy label is C, which is average for a flat of this age. It means the home has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but you can expect moderate energy costs. Upgrading to a higher label could reduce bills, but that's not necessary for comfortable living.
Yes, the SPAR express is just 125 m away for quick groceries. The Albert Heijn is 869 m away, about a ten-minute walk. Other options like SPAR, Lidl, and Aldi are within 1.2 km.
The listing does not specify the number of rooms, but with 72 m², it is likely a two-bedroom apartment. You would need to confirm the exact layout with the agent.
