Voorst, Voorst
NeighbourhoodThis 1926 detached house on Kerkstraat sits in the heart of Voorst, a village surrounded by the Veluwe countryside. With 188 m² of living space and a 510 m² plot, it offers plenty of room for a family. The asking price of €795,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €701,000, but the home's size and character justify it. For context, detached houses in Voorst typically command a premium.
Voorst is a quiet village with about 1,530 residents, where most homes are owner-occupied (57%) and many are family houses. One resident describes it as a "Rural setting with ill-mannered neighbours," noting that while the surroundings are lovely, some neighbourly interactions have been challenging. The village has a low crime rate (23 incidents total) and a very low urbanity score, meaning it's truly rural. The neighbourhood Voorst is known for its peace and green surroundings.
For daily shopping, you have a SPAR and a Coop both about 4.5 km away, a short drive. The nearest primary school, OBS J.H. Isings, is 2.1 km from the door, and the train station is 1.6 km away, making commutes to Deventer or Apeldoorn feasible. The municipality Voorst offers a mix of rural tranquillity and practical amenities.

Very good · 1 resident
My boyfriend and I moved into this neighbourhood at the end of June, into our first home. The first few weeks were all very nice and cosy until August. The owner of Voskamp Textiel intimidated me by contacting my employer because I parked a work van in front of her shop, which is laid out as a public parking space. I then reported this to enforcement and spoke to her personally about her behaviour, telling her they would come. In September there was the neighbourhood BBQ. Again we had a nice time with the neighbours, but that too was short-lived. After asking in the neighbourhood app if people could keep an eye on their cats because our garden was being used as a toilet by neighbourhood cats, I was intimidated by a few households who thought I should move back to the west. This intimidation continued in writing until Christmas Eve. Since then it has fortunately been a bit quieter. Despite having very unpleasant neighbours, we enjoy the surroundings of Voorst and unfortunately also enjoy our home a bit less because it has many hidden defects and costs a lot of money.

About Kerkstraat 21, Voorst
The asking price is about 13% above the neighbourhood average of €701,000, but the home is larger (188 m² vs. 208 m² average) and sits on a generous 510 m² plot. Detached homes in Voorst are scarce, so the premium reflects its character and space. The energy label C is decent for a 1926 property.
Voorst is a rural village with a very low urbanity score (5 out of 5, meaning not urban). It has 1,530 residents, mostly families and older couples. The only review on Buurtje gives an 8/10 overall, praising the surroundings but mentioning some neighbour issues. Crime is low, and the area is quiet.
The nearest train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute cycle. This makes it convenient for commuting to nearby cities like Deventer or Apeldoorn.
The closest supermarkets are SPAR and Coop, both about 4.5 km away. There are also PLUS, Jumbo, and AH XL within 5.5 km. You'll need a car or bike for grocery shopping, as there's no supermarket within walking distance.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house built in 1926. It means reasonable insulation and moderate energy costs, but not as efficient as modern homes. You can expect typical heating bills for a property of this size and age.
Built in 1926, the house is nearly a century old. The only resident review mentions hidden defects and costly repairs, so a thorough inspection is advisable. The energy label C suggests some modernisation, but the age means ongoing maintenance.
The nearest primary school, OBS J.H. Isings, is 2.1 km away. For secondary education, the Kompaan College is 4.1 km away. There are several other schools within 5 km, so options are available but require transport.
