De Parken, Apeldoorn
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. A 1931 detached house on a generous 1,620 m² plot, with 471 m² of living space and an E energy label. The price of €1,985,000 is 71% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €1,162,265, which puts it on the high side, but then this is a very different proposition from the typical home in the area. For context, detached houses in Apeldoorn vary widely, and this one is at the top end.
De Parken is a sought-after area with wide, tree-lined streets and large homes. 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 notes that the proximity to the city centre brings nuisance: 'drunk people in the street' and a break-in. The neighbourhood De Parken has a mix of ages, with many 45-65 year olds and a fair share of over-65s. Most homes are owner-occupied (85%) and pre-war (79%).
For your morning bread, Aldi is just around the corner, and Dekamarkt, PLUS and Albert Heijn are all within a ten-minute walk. The nearest primary school, OBS De Parkenschool, is a couple of streets away, and Gymnasium Apeldoorn is even closer, ideal for secondary-age children.

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 Verzetsstrijderspark 2, Apeldoorn

Detached homes of this size are rare, so the premium reflects the unique specs. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the space and the pre-war character.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood, 50% of homes in De Parken have a label D or lower. An E label means higher energy costs are to be expected, especially in a large home like this. You may want to factor in potential improvements.
