Renting in Barneveld: what does it cost and how does the market work?
The municipality of Barneveld, with over 62,500 residents, is one of the larger municipalities on the Veluwe, but it doesn't feel that way. It is a collection of villages, each with its own character, from the lively centre of Barneveld to the quiet Terschuur. Of the more than 23,500 homes, 32% are rental properties. Of these, 18% are owned by housing associations (such as Woningstichting Barneveld) and 14% are rented out by private landlords or investors. Those looking for social housing must register via the regional housing allocation system. Waiting lists are long; this is no different on the Veluwe than elsewhere.
In the private sector, 65 homes have been rented out over the past twelve months, at an average rent of €1,447 per month. The range is considerable: from around €720 for a smaller apartment to €3,900 for larger detached homes. The average floor area is 117 m², which shows that the supply largely consists of single-family homes.

From Barneveld-centrum to Terschuur: the neighbourhoods compared
The municipality of Barneveld consists of about ten cores that differ considerably from each other. Below are the main areas if you are looking for a rental home.
Barneveld (core): the beating heart
The core Barneveld is where most of the supply is. Here you will find shops along the Langstraat, Barneveld Centrum and Barneveld Noord stations (direct train connection to Amersfoort and via a transfer to Utrecht), sports facilities and the Schaffelaartheater. Residents give the core an 8.5 on Buurtje.nl, based on 7 reviews. Safety (8.8) and education (9.0) score notably high. One resident writes that the combination of village atmosphere and good accessibility sets Barneveld apart from similar places. New-build neighbourhoods such as Veller and De Burgt offer relatively modern rental homes, while in the old centre you rent above shops and in townhouses. Those considering renting an apartment in Barneveld will find the most opportunities here.
Voorthuizen: village living with its own amenities
The village Voorthuizen lies in the north of the municipality and has its own supermarket, primary schools and a cosy village centre. With a neighbourhood score of 8.6, residents particularly appreciate the peace and green character. Voorthuizen is close to the A1, handy if you need to head towards Amersfoort or Apeldoorn. The rental supply is more limited than in the core of Barneveld, but single-family homes regularly become available.
Terschuur: the quiet top scorer
Terschuur is a small village between Barneveld and Amersfoort. With a perfect 10.0 as a neighbourhood score (based on 1 review), it is a notable outlier. It is very quiet there, with lots of agricultural landscape around. Suitable for those who really want to live in the countryside and are not dependent on amenities around the corner.
In addition, there are cores such as Kootwijkerbroek (neighbourhood score 7.8), which is known as a close-knit, predominantly Christian community. The villages Garderen and Stroe are located on the Veluwe itself and are truly for those who love forest and nature. De Glind is special because of the many family homes and its village-like, social character. And those who want to be near Amersfoort can look at Achterveld or Zwartebroek.
On the municipality page of Barneveld you can find all resident reviews and compare scores per category, from safety to education.
For whom is renting a home in Barneveld a good choice?
Barneveld mainly attracts families. This is reflected in the figures: the largest group of households (9,906) consists of families with children, and education scores the highest of all categories at 9.0. The combination of space, relative affordability compared to cities like Amersfoort or Apeldoorn, and the village community spirit (score 8.8) makes it attractive for those seeking peace but not wanting to be completely isolated.
Starters and singles need to be realistic: the supply in the private sector is limited (65 rentals in a year) and with an average of €1,447 per month, you need a gross income of at least three times that rent. For social housing, the waiting time is several years. Those who are more flexible in terms of location can also look at rental properties in Arnhem or other municipalities in Gelderland. Considering buying instead? Then check out the supply of homes for sale in Barneveld, because with an average WOZ value of €434,000 and a homeownership rate of 68%, buying is the norm here. More information about living and registering with the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Barneveld.
Practical tips: prepare your documents (employer's statement, payslips, ID), respond on the same day to new rental properties in Barneveld, and register as early as possible with Woningstichting Barneveld if you want to qualify for social housing.

Cosy neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIWe really enjoy living in this apartment. Nice people around us. It doesn't get any better. Lovely walks, beautiful view.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood where we live is a nice neighbourhood, lots of nice green and many little streams, many nice people, very helpful, together good neighbours, always nice things to do such as a flea market and balloon festival and also very safe. I never thought that I would come to live here. Barneveld also accessible by car, train, bus and also many chickens, many chicken farms. We always say chicken drop or TikTok. It would be better if they cleaned up more rubbish.
Auto-translated to English by AII think the neighbourhood consists of separate islands and much more should be done to make it a bit cosier! A neighbourhood barbecue or something! Now nothing happens! There is little nature in our area so that's a bit boring and in our village there is a café, 1 supermarket and some other shops but I would like a square with a terrace for the cosiness of the village
Auto-translated to English by AII have friendly, cosy neighbours and in this neighbourhood there is never any hassle
Auto-translated to English by AIThat student Kay doesn't really get it. A great community to live in, unfortunately that does make houses expensive. Hardworking people who let their hair down every now and then, and the Sunday peace is also a delight. They should do that everywhere. But other than that, I don't want to waste any more words on it; I'd say feel free to come and have a look and experience it for yourself.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is very child-friendly and easily accessible. Car-friendly because only destination traffic comes through. The area is well maintained by the municipality. When you walk around the neighbourhood, everyone is very friendly, with a supermarket nearby and several schools nearby, making it a perfect place for everyone. Barneveld Zuid train station makes it ideal to go in any direction.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery religious, if you look different people aren't very nice to you, plus it often stinks of death because of a feed factory near Noord I think, otherwise nice nature within a short distance and very quiet but there's also nothing to do there.
