Hilversum is a city and municipality located in the Gooi area of the North Holland province in the Netherlands. Situated on sandy, undulating terrain, it serves as the media capital of the country, hosting major national broadcasting corporations. The city is served by Hilversum Airport, which lies on its southern outskirts.
The housing stock is concentrated primarily in the central urban districts, which hold far more homes than the outer areas. The leafy, low-density neighbourhoods on the northern and eastern edges of the city are the most expensive parts of the municipality, contrasting with the denser, more affordable residential estates closer to the centre. Hilversum is generally more expensive than the national average for the Netherlands.
