Rental homes in Noordoost, Hilversum

What does a rental property cost in Noordoost Hilversum?

Noordoost is a neighbourhood where more than half of the homes are rental properties: 55% of the more than 5,490 homes are rented out. This is striking, because almost half of them (47%) are owned by housing associations. The private sector is therefore relatively small. In the past twelve months, only 23 homes were rented out in the private sector, at an average rent of €2,149 per month. The range runs from €540 to €3,250 per month, with an average floor area of 121 m². That is substantial, especially when you consider that the average income in Noordoost is around €37,000, well below the Hilversum average of €44,400.

The WOZ value of €369,000 is also clearly below the municipal average of €451,000. So Noordoost is not the most expensive neighbourhood in Hilversum, but the private sector rents are. This is because supply is scarce and the homes that become available are often more spacious. Want to know what is available today?

Noordoost: busy but charming, according to residents

On Buurtje.nl, residents give Noordoost a 7.6 out of 10. That sounds reasonable, and it is. Resident Gala describes the neighbourhood as "busy but charming" and adds: "Generally good, but things can always be better." That nuance fits well with what the figures show. Accessibility scores a 9 out of 10, and that is correct: Hilversum station is within cycling distance and via the A27 and A1 you are quickly in Utrecht or Amsterdam. Amenities and education also score a 9, which is logical given the proximity of schools and shops along the Larenseweg and Hilversum city centre.

Where it scores lower is beauty (5 out of 10) and sense of community (6 out of 10). Noordoost is not a picturesque village. It is a diverse neighbourhood with post-war buildings, porch flats and single-family homes mixed together. In the Erfgooiersbuurt you will find the more spacious, greener streets, while the Johannes Geradtswegbuurt feels more compact and urban. The Noord neighbourhood borders the heathland and forests towards Laren, which explains why green also scores a 9. If you want to go into nature, you only have to cycle a few minutes.

The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (3,285 residents), and single-person households form the majority with 2,580 households. This gives Noordoost a different character than you might expect: it is not a typical family neighbourhood, despite the good schools. It is more a mix of young professionals, singles and older residents who have lived there for years. Want to know more about what it is really like?

Does Noordoost suit you as a tenant?

Renting a home in Noordoost is mainly interesting for singles and couples who value good accessibility and proximity to nature, and who are not necessarily looking for a close-knit neighbourhood feel. With an average income of €37,000 in the neighbourhood, renting an apartment in the private sector is financially difficult for many current residents. The social rental sector is large, but waiting times are long. For families with a higher budget, it can be attractive because of the schools and greenery, but the limited supply makes searching for a rental home a waiting game. Considering buying instead? Then check the supply of homes for sale in Noordoost, where WOZ values are significantly lower than in the rest of Hilversum. If you want more choice in the private rental sector, you can also look at the Centre or the adjacent neighbourhood Noordwest.
