For context, that's in keeping with other terraced houses in Hilversum.

Schools and supermarkets around the corner, really a top location.' Another notes: 'A nice neighbourhood to live in for 48 years. A major drawback is road safety.' A third adds: 'Unsafe traffic situation. Very antisocial driving behaviour.' So while the location is praised, traffic from the nearby Albert Heijn is a recurring concern.

About Egelstraat 16, Hilversum
The asking price of €690,000 is slightly above the average sold price of €642,500 for terraced houses in the neighbourhood. However, this home has 158 m² of floor area and a 149 m² plot, which may justify the premium. Recent sales in the area suggest the market is steady, with homes selling in about 109 days on average.
Het Rode Dorp is a family-friendly area with a mix of ages. Residents appreciate the proximity to the forest, the centre, and local amenities like the Gijsbrecht. However, traffic safety is a concern, especially around the Albert Heijn. The neighbourhood has a strong community feel, with many long-term residents.
The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short cycle ride.
Energy label D means the home has average energy efficiency. You can expect moderate heating costs compared to more efficient homes. The house was built in 1939, so some improvements like better insulation or double glazing could improve the label, but the current rating is as stated.
Some residents mention traffic safety issues, particularly antisocial driving behaviour and nuisance from visitors to the Albert Heijn. The gardens are small and houses are close together, so noise can be an issue. However, the location is praised for being close to the forest, centre, and schools.
Several schools are within walking distance. The Gooise Scholenfederatie (secondary) is about 550 m away, and the Gemeentelijk Gymnasium Hilversum is 600 m. For primary education, Openbare Basisschool Elckerlyc is 700 m, and Basisschool Vondelschool is 775 m away.
The floor area of 158 m² suggests multiple rooms, but the exact layout is not provided by the agent.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Nice 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 AIA nice neighbourhood to live in for 48 years. A major drawback is road safety. It has deteriorated significantly since the arrival of AH. And that's a shame. It's not a question of if something will go wrong, but when. And as residents, you absolutely don't want that. Kind regards, Betty Hendriks.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnsafe traffic situation. Very antisocial driving behaviour. It's a miracle that nothing has happened yet. A lot of nuisance from visitors to the AH. It's also hard to talk to them when you point something out. We have the Corversbos around the corner. And the schools are easily accessible.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in a cosy neighbourhood. The residents are very diverse. I can't report any crime. In short, all good. Kind regards, Betty Hendriks. ✅
Auto-translated to English by AIA busy but cosy neighbourhood to live in. The downside is that traffic rules are completely ignored. Many young families with children have moved in over the past few years, and as older residents like my husband and I (48), we find it hard to make contact with them. Completely different generation. Kind regards, Betty Hendriks.

Safe neighbourhood, occasionally some nuisance from young people

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...
Auto-translated to English by AIKerkelanden is very safe during the day, at night there is sometimes some nuisance but hardly anything that bothers you. Public transport connection is relatively good, bus goes every 15 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes in the evening, which could be improved to make public transport better for young people who want to go out in the evening.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe apartment where I live is very noisy. If you don't get along with the neighbours, you can follow their every move. Safety has also deteriorated greatly in the neighbourhood. Fireworks are thrown at people and animals, things are being demolished, set on fire, and rapidly falling into disrepair. It's a green neighbourhood, but a strange nature policy is applied. Every week/day, mowing or leaf removal is done with the necessary noise! Clean and tidy takes precedence over the welfare of the animals, unfortunately! The cosiness is hard to find, unfortunately!
