About Vaartweg 173C, Hilversum
The asking price of €310,000 is 70% below the average asking price in Boomberg (€1,040,981), but the apartment is also smaller than average (72 m² vs 178 m²). The price per m² works out to about €4,306, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,637 per m². Given the energy label F and the compact size, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a home that needs some investment in energy efficiency.
The energy label is F, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In Boomberg, 55.6% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area. It may be worth considering improvements like insulation or double glazing to reduce energy bills.
The nearest train station is 2.0 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. This makes it feasible for commuting, though not within immediate walking distance.
The closest supermarket is SPAR express at 202 metres, just around the corner. Albert Heijn is 964 metres away (a ten-minute walk), and there are also a SPAR and a Lidl within about 1.2 km. For daily groceries, you have several options within easy reach.
