Havenstraat 11B

The asking price of €250,000 is the lowest of the 22 homes currently for sale in Havenstraatbuurt and sits 48% below the neighbourhood average of €477,182. However, the floor area (43 m²) is 55% smaller than the average of 95 m², so the price per square metre is actually in line with the market. Given its central location and compact size, it is a keen entry point for a studio in Hilversum.

The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood: only 30.4% of homes in Havenstraatbuurt have a label D or lower. An E label means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. It is worth checking the exact energy performance certificate for details on insulation and installations.

Hilversum train station is 1.4 km from the home, which is about a 17-minute walk or a short cycle ride. The station offers direct connections to Amsterdam, Utrecht and other major cities, making it convenient for commuters.

The home is in the centre of Hilversum, so daily shopping is easy. Aldi is 394 m away, Albert Heijn 423 m, and Dirk 488 m, all within a five- to ten-minute walk. There are also many restaurants and cafés within a couple of streets away (the nearest restaurant is 200 m). A GP practice is 400 m away, and a park is 400 m away.

Havenstraatbuurt has a mix of residents: about 410 households have children, and there are several primary and secondary schools within walking distance. The Violenschool primary school is 416 m away, and Gemeentelijk Gymnasium Hilversum secondary school is 403 m away. However, the neighbourhood is very urban with a high density, so it may feel busier than a suburban area.

In Havenstraatbuurt, sold homes in the past period had an average listing duration of 39 days. This suggests a reasonably active market, though not extremely fast. The current home is priced keenly, which may attract interest quickly.
