Boomberg, Hilversum
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Vaartweg sits in the quiet Boomberg neighbourhood, where tree-lined streets and a mix of pre-war and 1960s buildings set a relaxed tone. At 75 m² with an energy label C, it's a manageable home that feels spacious enough for a couple or a small household. The asking price of €349,500 is notably lower than the neighbourhood average of over a million euros, partly because the flat is smaller than the typical home here, so it's a keen entry point into a sought-after area. For context, apartments in Hilversum vary widely in price and size.
