A compact studio in the heart of Hilversum
This studio on Vaartweg sits right in the lively centre of Hilversum, where the streets buzz with cafés and shops. At 37 m² it's a compact space, but the energy label A means it's efficient to run. The last known rent of €962 was well below the neighbourhood average of €1,921, so it was keenly priced for a central spot. For context, studios in Hilversum vary widely, but this one stood out for its low rent. This home has not been online since 19 August 2026.

Many live alone (1,240 one-person households), and the area is packed with restaurants, shops and nightlife. There are no resident reviews available, but the CBS figures paint a picture of a lively, urban community.
