Hoefkwartier, Amersfoort
NeighbourhoodThis 2024-built apartment on Lichtpenweg sits in the Hoefkwartier, a neighbourhood that is still taking shape. With an energy label A++, it is exceptionally efficient, so you can expect low heating costs. The asking price of €525,000 is on the high side compared to the one recent sale in the area (€400,000), but that reflects the new-build premium. For context, you can compare with other apartments in Amersfoort.
Hoefkwartier is a small, young neighbourhood with 530 residents, mostly singles (385 one-person households) and very few families with children. Two residents shared their views: one says, "It's a beautiful neighbourhood, but I'm currently paying money for a dilapidated building, which is frankly ridiculous," and another notes, "The neighbourhood will become a big construction site in the coming years. That's a shame but necessary. Still, the location is great, although there have been burglaries in the area." Based on two reviews, opinions are mixed. The neighbourhood Hoefkwartier is densely built with flats and has a very urban feel (over 2000 addresses per km²).
For your morning bread, Lidl and Albert Heijn are just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. Schools are also close: Focus College Amersfoort (secondary) is a five-minute walk, and primary school De Windroos is a ten-minute walk. The train station is just around the corner, making commutes easy. The municipality Amersfoort offers plenty of green space, with a park or garden a couple of streets away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Drenth Makelaars and also appears on other channels.

Good location in nature with far too few parking spaces
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood will become a big construction site in the coming years. That's a shame but necessary. Still, the location is great, although there have been burglaries in the area and it could be a bit safer in my opinion. There should be more police patrols at night and in the evening.

About Lichtpenweg 202, Amersfoort
The price is above the only recent sale in Hoefkwartier (€400,000), but that sale was likely for a different type of home. Given that this is a brand-new, energy-efficient apartment (A++) with 89 m², the premium is typical for new builds. There are no other comparable listings in the neighbourhood right now, so the market is thin.
The energy label is A++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. The entire neighbourhood consists of homes built after 2010, so all have good labels.
The train station is 300 metres away, just around the corner. You can walk there in about five minutes.
Lidl and Albert Heijn are both within 500 metres, so you can do your daily shopping on foot. Jumbo is about 800 metres away, a ten-minute walk.
One resident mentioned burglaries and a desire for more police patrols. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 146, but without context per capita, it's hard to judge. The area is still developing, which may affect safety perceptions.
Focus College Amersfoort (secondary) is 400 metres away, and primary school De Windroos is 627 metres away. Both are within a ten-minute walk.
The floor area is 89 m², but the layout is not specified.
