Astronomische Buurt, Hilversum
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Van de Sande Bakhuyzenstraat 93 sits in a leafy part of Hilversum, with a 1930s character that feels solid and lived-in. With 123 m² of living space and a 230 m² plot, it's a generous home for someone who values space and a bit of garden. At €749,000, it's the priciest of the five homes currently for sale in the Astronomische Buurt and sits 55% above the neighbourhood's average asking price of €484,600, so it's on the high side, but you're paying for size and a sought-after property type. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Hilversum tend to command a premium.

Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful green neighbourhood, but there are many roads with too few traffic lights to cross safely. Lots of playgrounds for children, a skate park and many grassy areas to play or walk the dog. A cosy neighbourhood that is accessible to almost everyone!
