Het Rode Dorp is a compact, leafy corner of Hilversum with a strong sense of community. Based on five reviews, residents appreciate the location, close to the forest, the centre, and the lively Gijsbrecht van Amstelstraat itself. One resident says: "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." Another notes: "A nice neighbourhood to live in for 48 years. A major drawback is road safety. It has deteriorated significantly since the arrival of AH." The neighbourhood is mostly families and couples, with a mix of ages and a high proportion of owner-occupied homes. It's a dense, urban area, address density is high, but the nearby Corversbos provides a quick escape into nature. For more on the area, see the Het Rode Dorp neighbourhood.
Your daily routine here is built around easy walking. For bread and basics, SPAR express is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. Schools are similarly close: Basisschool Vondelschool is a couple of streets away, and the A. Roland Holst College (secondary) is within a five-minute walk. The Corversbos park is on your doorstep, perfect for a morning jog or an after-school kickabout. Restaurants are a five-minute walk, and the train station is a 2.6 km walk or short cycle. It's a neighbourhood where you can leave the car at home for most errands. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Hilversum.

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 Gijsbrecht van Amstelstraat 462, Hilversum
The asking price of €675,000 is slightly above the average sold price of €642,500 for terraced houses in Het Rode Dorp. However, this home has a larger floor area (140 m²) and a good energy label (B), which can justify the premium. Recent sales in the neighbourhood took an average of 109 days to sell, suggesting a balanced market.
Het Rode Dorp is popular with families, about half of households have children. There are several primary and secondary schools within walking distance, and the Corversbos park is just around the corner. Residents mention a mix of ages, though some note that the small gardens and close-together houses can make it noisy at times.
The nearest supermarket is SPAR express, just 341 metres away, a couple of streets from your doorstep. A larger Albert Heijn is about 920 metres away, a ten-minute walk. There are also a Lidl and another Albert Heijn within about a kilometre.
The home has energy label B, which means it is reasonably efficient. You can expect lower energy bills compared to older, uninsulated homes, though exact costs depend on usage. The label is based on the home's insulation, glazing and heating system as assessed at the time of the certificate.
However, the listing does not specify the size or layout of the outdoor space. Residents in the neighbourhood note that gardens tend to be small and houses are built close together.
Hilversum train station is 2.6 km away, about a 30-minute walk or a short cycle. From there, trains run to Amsterdam, Utrecht and other cities.
Residents highlight two main issues: road safety has worsened since an Albert Heijn opened nearby, with antisocial driving behaviour and a feeling that an accident is inevitable. Also, the close-together houses mean noise travels easily, both from young people at night and children during the day.
