Sint Vitusbuurt, Hilversum
NeighbourhoodThis 1905 corner house on Faisantenstraat sits in the heart of Hilversum, where the streets hum with a mix of students, young professionals and long-time locals. At 88 m² with a 136 m² plot, it's compact but has its own front door and a sliver of outdoor space. The price of €375,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €420,500, but corner houses are rare here, check out other end-of-terrace houses in Hilversum to see how this one stacks up.
The neighbourhood Sint Vitusbuurt is densely built and very urban, over 4,000 addresses per km². Two-thirds of homes date from before 1945, so this house fits right in. The area is popular with singles and couples: average household size is 1.8, and a third of households are one-person. There are no resident reviews available, but the mix of ages (lots of 25-45 year olds) and the high proportion of private rentals and owner-occupied homes suggest a transient but settled vibe.
For your morning bread run, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Hoogvliet is a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: St. Aloysius College (secondary) is a five-minute walk, and the International School Hilversum (primary and secondary) is about the same distance. The municipality Hilversum has a compact centre, so most daily errands are on foot or by bike.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Van Mameren Makelaardij.

About Faisantenstraat 15, Hilversum
The asking price of €375,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €420,500 and the median of €400,000. However, homes in Sint Vitusbuurt sold for an average of €360,800 in the past period, so this one is priced slightly above recent sale prices. The energy label G means higher running costs, which may be factored into the price.
Energy label G is the least efficient rating. The house was built in 1905 and likely has poor insulation and an old heating system. Expect high gas and electricity bills. In the neighbourhood, 46.7% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's worth budgeting for energy costs.
The nearest train station is 0.7 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That gives you direct connections to Amsterdam, Utrecht and beyond.
