De Parken, Apeldoorn
NeighbourhoodThis is a proper family home with a stately feel, set on a generous plot in one of Apeldoorn's most attractive neighbourhoods. Built in 1909, it has high ceilings, large rooms and plenty of character, though the energy label F means heating bills will be substantial. At €965,000, the asking price is 17% below the neighbourhood average for detached houses in Apeldoorn, which makes it keenly priced for a home of this type.
De Parken is a sought-after area of Apeldoorn, with wide streets, mature trees and a mix of grand villas and smaller houses. It's densely populated (2,463 addresses per km²) and very urban, yet the park is just a couple of streets away. One resident describes it as a "super cosy and beautiful neighbourhood", but adds that the proximity to the city centre brings nuisance: "Previously had a drunk vagrant in the shed, who had broken in, and often drunk people in the street." They also note that some neighbours are "quite self-centred and think they can 'borrow' our driveway for hours without asking." Based on one review, the neighbourhood scores an 8 out of 10. The neighbourhood De Parken is home to many families and older residents, with average incomes above the city norm.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there's a Lidl and Dirk within a ten-minute walk. The nearest primary school, OBS De Parkenschool, is a couple of streets away, while Gymnasium Apeldoorn and Koninklijke Scholen Gemeenschap are both within a five-minute walk for secondary education. The municipality Apeldoorn offers plenty of restaurants and a library within easy reach, and the train station is a ten-minute walk.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via De Heus Makelaardij and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Super cosy and beautiful neighbourhood but the location so close to the city centre causes a lot of nuisance that is not addressed by enforcement and/or police. Previously had a drunk vagrant in the shed, who had broken in, and often drunk people in the street. Many neighbours are quite self-centred and think they can 'borrow' our driveway for hours without asking.

About Generaal Van der Heydenlaan 10, Apeldoorn
The asking price of €965,000 is 17% below the neighbourhood average of €1,162,265 for detached homes, and also below the median of €1,150,000. Given the 187 m² floor area (28% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 259 m²) and the energy label F, the price seems keen, especially for a character home in a popular area.
The energy label is F, which is very poor. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. You should expect significant energy bills, especially in winter. The neighbourhood has 50% of homes with label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war house in De Parken.
De Parken is a leafy, central neighbourhood with a mix of grand villas and family homes. It's very urban (2,463 addresses per km²) but has a park just around the corner. One resident calls it "super cosy and beautiful" but mentions nuisance from the city centre, including drunk people and a break-in. The neighbourhood scores 8 out of 10 from one review.
The nearest primary school is OBS De Parkenschool, just a couple of streets away (217 m). For secondary education, Gymnasium Apeldoorn (326 m) and Koninklijke Scholen Gemeenschap (407 m) are both within a five-minute walk. There are also several other schools within a short distance.
Apeldoorn train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. The station offers direct connections to cities like Amersfoort, Utrecht and Amsterdam.
Albert Heijn is just around the corner (470 m), and there's an AH to go, Lidl, Dirk and Aldi all within about a kilometre. For daily groceries, you're well covered.
The listing does not mention whether the home is a listed monument or in a conservation area. Given the 1909 build and the character of De Parken, it's possible, but you would need to check with the local authority.
