Engelenburg, Veenendaal
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Frisia in Veenendaal's Engelenburg neighbourhood is a solid family home. With 127 m² of living space and a 162 m² plot, it's noticeably roomier than many homes in the area. The energy label A means low heating costs, and the asking price of €485,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but you're paying for extra square metres. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Veenendaal typically sell for less per m².
Engelenburg is a densely built urban area (over 3,000 addresses per km²) with a mix of ages, a quarter of homes are owner-occupied, and many were built between 1970 and 1990. Based on two reviews, opinions are split. One resident says: "Good, cosy." Another paints a bleaker picture: "Neighbourhood is deteriorating rapidly. More control by municipalities or police, but unfortunately that is not done." They mention loitering, litter, and rats. So it's a neighbourhood with contrasts. The neighbourhood Engelenburg has a relatively high proportion of over-65s (27%) and many single-person households.
For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Hoogvliet is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools nearby, including Montessori Kind Centrum Aan de Basis and Wereldkidz De Vlieger, both a five-minute walk. The Rembrandt College secondary school is also within easy walking distance. The municipality Veenendaal offers a train station a ten-minute walk away, and a park or public garden is just a couple of streets away.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Van Schuppen Makelaars.

It keeps getting worse, lots of loiterers, both in the evening and at night, rubbish is thrown everywhere, bags are not collected so rats run over them, homeless people in the building, people urinate everywhere. It's too sad for words there.
