Hilversum and corner houses: what defines the supply
Hilversum has a building structure that varies greatly by neighbourhood. The villa neighbourhoods around the Media Park and the forest edges have spacious corner plots with plenty of greenery around them. In the post-war expansion neighbourhoods, corner houses are more compact, but they usually have a side strip that other house types lack. This attracts a specific audience: families who want to play outside without paying for a detached house, and buyers who need space for an extension or driveway.
The supply of corner houses in Hilversum is in the higher segment. The municipality attracts buyers from Amsterdam and Utrecht who are looking for more living space, which increases competition for scarce supply. Current numbers and price levels can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
For those considering searching for a home for sale in Hilversum: corner houses are a niche market. They come on the market less frequently than terraced houses, but also attract a more specific group of interested parties. That means: act faster when something appears.
What you need to know before bidding on a corner house
- Check the property boundary carefully. With corner houses, the plot borders two streets. Cadastral boundaries sometimes differ from the actual fence. Have this checked before you make an offer.
- Ask about easements. Corner plots more often involve rights of way or utility lines running across the side plot. This is in the deed, but not always mentioned spontaneously.
- Pay attention to the side wall. A free side wall sounds like an advantage, but also means more maintenance: gutter, cavity wall, exterior painting. Ask about the condition and maintenance history.
- Parking on your own property or not? A side strip gives the impression of a driveway, but zoning plans sometimes restrict where you can pave. Check this with the municipality or in the environmental desk.
- Use the Buurtje.nl app for push notifications. Corner houses in Hilversum rarely stay online for long. Download the free Buurtje.nl app via the App Store or Google Play and set up a search. You will then receive a push notification immediately when new supply appears, for free.
- Critically assess the corner location for noise. Two street-facing facades means more traffic noise. Ask about the noise load, especially if the house is on a through road.
- Financing: pay attention to the WOZ value and appraisal. Corner houses are sometimes appraised higher than comparable terraced houses due to the extra plot. This works in your favour for the mortgage, but the bank also looks at marketability. Discuss this in advance with your advisor.
Price level: what determines the price of a corner house in Hilversum
Corner houses in Hilversum cost structurally more than comparable terraced houses. This has several causes. The extra plot has independent value. The location on two streets provides more light. And the possibility of an extension or driveway makes the house functionally more attractive for a broad target group.
Within the supply, there are large differences. A corner house near the Media Park or in a wooded area is in a different price segment than a corner house in a post-war expansion neighbourhood. Year of construction, state of maintenance and plot size also play a role. See the overview at the top of this page for current asking prices.

Also ask about easements, such as right of way or utility lines running over the side plot. These are stated in the deed of transfer, but are not always actively mentioned.
In which neighbourhood of Hilversum can I find the best corner houses?
That depends on your preferences. Landelijk Gebied (9.0/10) offers space and greenery, but has limited supply. Zuid (8.4/10) and Noordwest (8.2/10) are family neighbourhoods with a varied supply of corner houses. Zuidoost (8.2/10) is popular among commuters to Utrecht or Amsterdam.
Is parking on private property always possible with a corner house in Hilversum?
Not automatically. A side strip at a corner house may give the impression that a driveway is possible, but the zoning plan determines where you may pave. Check this in advance via the Omgevingsloket or ask the municipality for clarification, so you won't face surprises after the purchase.
Generally good but things can always be better in my opinion

Auto-translated to English by AII have lived in the Geuzenbuurt for 16 years, schools, supermarket. The station and the city centre are a 10-minute walk away, there is a playground on every corner. And there are several primary and secondary schools in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AINice area in terms of location, close to the forest, the centre and the cosy Gijsbrecht also nearby. Schools and supermarkets around the corner, really a top location. Fellow residents think too much of themselves. Small gardens, so close together and very noisy. Both young people at night and small children during the day. But a nice mix of ages.
Auto-translated to English by AINeighbourhood itself is fine. Nothing unpleasant. Only the Diependaalselaan is very busy and suffers from exhaust fumes. Speed bumps at the end would make a big difference. They always rev their engines right in front of the flats... Maybe more supervision there...
