Living in Noord, Hilversum
Noord is the neighbourhood in Hilversum that you cannot immediately pigeonhole. It is not a quiet villa district and not a bustling city centre, but something in between: a mixed, lively neighbourhood with its own pace. Resident Gala aptly describes it as "busy but with its charm", and that sums it up well. There is activity on the streets, people of all ages, and the neighbourhood has a rawer, more authentic side than the more polished districts elsewhere in Hilversum.
The housing stock largely consists of post-war construction, with terraced houses and porch flats from the 1950s and 1960s defining the streetscape. Owner-occupied homes are scattered among the rental complexes, giving the neighbourhood a mixed character. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Noord will find more affordable options here than in Noordoost or the centre, although the state of maintenance sometimes requires attention.
In terms of amenities, Noord scores remarkably well. Residents give accessibility a 9.0 and amenities also a 9.0. That is not without reason: Hilversum city centre is within cycling distance, and supermarkets, primary schools and medical facilities are nearby. The Laapersveld and surrounding green strips ensure the high green score of 9.0. Children have space to play outside, and there is also enough green space for adults to catch their breath. Education scores a 9.0, indicating a good supply of primary schools in and directly around the neighbourhood. The municipality of Hilversum publishes up-to-date information on amenities and plans at hilversum.nl.
In terms of accessibility, Noord benefits from the proximity of Hilversum station, from where you can be at Utrecht Centraal within 25 minutes and in Amsterdam within 35 minutes. Several bus routes cross the neighbourhood, and the connection to the A27 and A1 is quickly reached via the northern arterial roads. The low energy consumption figures (2,050 kWh electricity and 860 m³ gas) suggest that part of the housing stock is already reasonably insulated, although that deserves verification per home.
Less strong are the scores for cleanliness (5.0) and sense of community (6.0). The neighbourhood looks worn in some places, and although there is certainly neighbourhood involvement, social cohesion is less self-evident than in smaller or more homogeneous neighbourhoods. Comparing this with sister neighbourhoods such as the Johannes Geradtswegbuurt or the Erfgooiersbuurt, you notice that Noord feels rougher but is also more affordable and more centrally located. More neighbourhood data, scores per category and resident reviews can be found on the Noord neighbourhood page.
Who is a home in Noord suitable for?
Noord mainly attracts young households and first-time buyers: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years, and single-person households, with 1,935 units, are the dominant household type. Anyone considering buying a home in Noord as a first-time buyer will find entry-level homes from €275,000, although supply is limited and quick action is necessary. Families looking for more space can turn to the more expensive segments towards €644,000, but then also look at the supply in Noordoost or other districts. An honest disadvantage: with only 12 sales in a year, the market is small and supply varies. Those wanting more flexibility can also look at rental homes in Noord as an alternative.
