Neighbourhood Het Rode Dorp is a compact, densely built area with a mix of ages and families. Residents appreciate the location near the forest and the centre, but note downsides. One resident says: "Beautiful location in Hilversum, but built far too close together. Small gardens, so close together and very noisy." Another adds: "A nice neighbourhood to live in for 48 years. A major drawback is road safety. It has deteriorated significantly since the arrival of AH." Based on five reviews, the neighbourhood scores 6.9 out of 10. The area is very urban (2728 addresses per km²), with mostly families and a high proportion of owner-occupied homes (79%).
For groceries, the SPAR express is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. Schools are within easy reach: the Gooise Scholenfederatie (secondary) is a couple of streets away, and primary school Elckerlyc is a five-minute walk. The Corversbos park is on your doorstep, perfect for a quick escape into nature. The municipality Hilversum offers a good mix of urban amenities and green spaces.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via KAPPELLE MAKELAARS and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

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.

About Egelstraat 16, Hilversum
Yes, it seems fair. Recent sales in Het Rode Dorp averaged €642,500, and this home is slightly larger than typical. The price per m² is in line with the market, and the 1939 build with energy label D is typical for the area.
Het Rode Dorp is a very urban, densely built area with a mix of ages and families. Residents love the proximity to the forest and centre, but mention noise and traffic issues, especially around the Albert Heijn. The neighbourhood scores 6.9 out of 10 from five reviews.
The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride.
Yes, several schools are within walking distance. The Gooise Scholenfederatie (secondary) is about 550 m away, and primary school Elckerlyc is around 700 m. The area has a total of 63 schools within 5 km.
Energy label D is average for a 1939 home. It means the house is not as efficient as modern builds, so heating costs will be moderate. You can expect to spend more on energy than a label A home, but it's typical for this era.
The plot is 149 m², which suggests there is outdoor space, but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden. The resident review notes 'small gardens', so it's likely a modest-sized garden typical of terraced houses in the area.
