A social rental flat in Matenhorst
This apartment on Snijdersplaats sits in Matenhorst, a residential pocket in the south-east of Apeldoorn. It was a social housing rental, so the rent was set below the market level for the area. At €946 a month, it sat above the average rent in the neighbourhood, which reflected the energy label A and the 64 square metres of floor space. For context, apartments in Apeldoorn generally vary in price depending on size and label. This home has not been online since 19 October 2026.
The Matenhorst neighbourhood
Matenhorst is a quiet, family-oriented part of Apeldoorn, with a mix of ages and household types. Around a third of households have children, and a similar share are single-person homes. One resident describes it as a "distant neighbourhood", noting that people keep to themselves and that one neighbouring family has caused friction, with the police and housing association aware of the situation. That is based on a single review, so it is one perspective rather than a broad picture. The Matenhorst neighbourhood is a settled area with a mix of owner-occupied and rental homes.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. The PLUS supermarket is on your doorstep, barely a few steps from the front door, which makes a quick bread-and-milk run very simple.

Secondary options like UGO verkennend vmbo/Cortenbosch are within a five-minute walk. The municipality of Apeldoorn keeps the wider area well connected, with a train station about a ten-minute walk away.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?
