Frequently asked questions
About Beestenmarkt 5, Amersfoort
How does the asking price compare to the WOZ value?
The asking price of €320,000 is 9% below the WOZ value of €352,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation, not the current market value. This means the asking price is lower than the official valuation, but that doesn't automatically make it a bargain. The market determines the final price.
What is the layout of this apartment?
According to the agent, this apartment has three rooms, including two bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over three floors. It's located on the second floor and has a balcony. The living area is listed as 69 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 67 m². The volume is 217 m³.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is an efficient label. This means the home is relatively energy-efficient compared to less efficient labels. The agent also notes that the home has mostly double glazing. However, the label doesn't guarantee low energy costs, as those depend on usage and other factors.
What is the WOZ value and how has it developed?
The WOZ value is €352,000, based on the reference date 1 January 2025. Over the past five years, the WOZ value has increased by 50%, from €234,000 in 2020 to €352,000 in 2025. This reflects the general trend in property values in the area, but it's not a prediction of future value.

Experiences from Stadskern
How residents experience their district
My neighbourhood is very beautiful with nature and stories from the past. It is cosy and everything is easily accessible.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience is that the municipality does a lot to keep it as clean as possible. It looks fine and the houses are nice. I think the municipality should do something about the crooked streets and how things are not easily accessible for disabled people.

Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood with lots of green. Close to the motorway, hospital, shops and schools.
Auto-translated to English by AIFine, but there could be more playground equipment for the children. Better enforcement for the loitering youth.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful old trees, green neighbourhood in the district, 1930s houses, good atmosphere, friendly, warm-hearted people from different backgrounds. Harmony and everyone is there for each other. Good accessibility by bus, bike or car. Centrally located near the city centre and central station.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything good. Lovely people, beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy neighbourhood, always quiet
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for three years now and I haven't experienced anything unpleasant or anything. Unfortunately, the neighbourhood is relatively far from shops, but I personally don't find it acceptable to constantly consume, so it's not a problem that shops are far away from my perspective. The neighbourhood is built on a small hill, which is why it's called the Bergkwartier. That's a disadvantage if you only have a bike, because it's quite a tough climb uphill. But 'every disadvantage has its advantage': cycling up the hill is good for your health... The neighbourhood doesn't have a neighbourhood watch. But all houses are well secured against burglary. I've never ended up in a bad situation at night. There is no loitering youth anywhere. I don't often read about burglaries in the neighbourhood, nor other crime. There is no community centre in this part of Amersfoort. There is a small restaurant here, about a hundred metres from my home. But I've never seen my neighbours there. So it's not a neighbourhood fathers' place, although it could have been. The neighbourhood consists of a mix of owner-occupied and (social) rental homes. But the majority are owner-occupied. Their condition is quite good. But people with a smaller budget also live here, and that's good because variety is good for social processes and life itself. The neighbourhood is easily accessible from other places in this city. I often walk in the forest; the forest is five hundred metres from my home, it's beautiful there, I find peace there, so I enjoy going there.
