Living in Bosveld, Leusden
Bosveld is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the eastern side of Leusden, nestled between forest edges and the quieter residential areas of Leusden-Centrum Oost. The name says it all: forest and field play a major role in the character of this neighbourhood. It is not a neighbourhood with busy shopping streets or student houses, but a place where owner-occupied homes dominate and the average resident is somewhat older. The largest age group consists of those aged 65 and over (185 of the 580 residents), followed by the 45-65 age group. This colours the atmosphere: quiet, established, little turnover.
The housing stock mainly consists of ground-floor homes, fitting the spacious, green layout of the neighbourhood. Renting an apartment in Bosveld is hardly an option; the scarce rental house that becomes available here is usually a larger home of 120 m² or more, aimed at people who value space and greenery over urban liveliness.
Facilities in Bosveld
Bosveld is not a neighbourhood with its own shopping centre or village core. For daily groceries, residents rely on the nearby centre of Leusden, where, among other things, an Albert Heijn and other daily facilities can be found within cycling distance. Primary schools are present in the surrounding neighbourhoods of Leusden-Centrum Oost; children cycle or walk to schools in, for example, Hamershof or the centre. For sports, the neighbourhood is well-equipped: the proximity of forest and nature makes walking, running and cycling popular.

One resident writes: "Wonderfully quiet, lots of greenery around the corner and yet quickly on the motorway. Not for everyone, but if you like peace and quiet, it's great here."

Is renting in Bosveld right for you as a tenant?
Bosveld is not a neighbourhood for starters looking for an affordable rental home or for students looking for a room. The scarce supply, high rental prices and predominantly owner-occupied character make this a neighbourhood for people who consciously choose space, greenery and peace, and are willing to pay a substantial rent for it. Families and older tenants looking for a larger home in a green environment may find what they are looking for here, provided they respond quickly: supply is limited and homes are usually rented out quickly. Prepare your documents (income statement, employer's statement) in advance. Social housing is not available in Bosveld; those who want to qualify for it can register with housing associations active in the Amersfoort region, but must expect long waiting lists. As an alternative, it is worth looking at owner-occupied homes in Bosveld, as the owner-occupied market is by far the largest here. The broader supply of rental homes in Leusden also offers more choice.
