Vaartweg 131A
Boomberg, Hilversum
NeighbourhoodA pre-war apartment in Hilversum's Boomberg neighbourhood
This 1930s apartment on Vaartweg sits in a leafy part of Hilversum, where the streets are quiet and the pace is relaxed. At 96 m² it's a manageable size, and with an energy label D you'll want to budget for heating. The asking price of €498,500 is noticeably below the neighbourhood average of over a million euros, partly because this home is smaller than the typical Boomberg property. For context, apartments in Hilversum vary widely in price and size, so this one sits at the more accessible end of the market.

Frequently asked questions
About Vaartweg 131A, Hilversum
Is €498,500 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price is 52% below the average asking price in Boomberg (€1,040,981), but this apartment is also 46% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 178 m². Given its size, age and energy label D, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a smaller pre-war flat in this area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?

Generally good but things can always be better in my opinion
Auto-translated to English by AISafe neighbourhood, occasionally some nuisance from young people
Auto-translated to English by AIWithin a reasonable distance you have supermarkets or the train station. Easily accessible from the motorway

Auto-translated to English by AII have lived in the Geuzenbuurt for 16 years, schools, supermarket. The station and the city centre are a 10-minute walk away, there is a playground on every corner. And there are several primary and secondary schools in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AINice 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 AINeighbourhood itself is fine. Nothing unpleasant. Only the Diependaalselaan is very busy and suffers from exhaust fumes. Speed bumps at the end would make a big difference. They always rev their engines right in front of the flats... Maybe more supervision there...
