A spacious apartment in the heart of Apeldoorn
This bright apartment on Molenstraat-Centrum sits right in the middle of Apeldoorn's Binnenstad, where the streets are always lively. With 126 m² of living space, it is a generous home for the centre, and the 2005 build means it comes with a modern energy label A. At €1,482 per month, the rent sits well above the neighbourhood average of €1,105, which reflects the larger floor area and central position. For context, this is one of the [apartments in Apeldoorn]( /huurwoningen/apeldoorn/appartementen/ ) currently on the market, and the price is on the high side for the area.
The Binnenstad neighbourhood
[The Binnenstad neighbourhood]( /buurt/binnenstad-apeldoorn/ ) is the historic core of Apeldoorn, with a mix of shops, cafes and residential streets. The area is home to around 6,000 people, and the population skews towards singles and older residents, with many one-person households. One resident describes the area as a "Disorganised mess," noting "a lot of nuisance from drug use and drug waste" and "cyclists in pedestrian area." This is based on a single review, so it reflects one person's experience rather than a broad consensus. The neighbourhood has a lively, urban feel, but it is not without its challenges.
Life on the street
For daily errands, you are well covered. An AH to go is just around the corner for a quick coffee or snack, while Lidl and Dirk are a couple of streets away for the weekly shop. There are also several schools within walking distance, including Montessori Kindcentrum Apeldoorn and PCBO De Fakkel, both a short stroll from the apartment. The train station is about a ten-minute walk, which makes getting around easy. This is all part of [the municipality of Apeldoorn]( /gemeente/apeldoorn/ ), a town with plenty to offer beyond the centre.
