Living in De Bron-Noord, Amersfoort
De Bron-Noord is part of Vathorst, the large new-build district that expanded Amersfoort to the north. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 2000s and 2010s and has the character that goes with it: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, spacious plots and a predominantly quiet atmosphere. The housing mainly consists of detached homes, semi-detached homes and terraced houses, with the occasional small-scale apartment complex. It is not a neighbourhood that buzzes with city life, but that is not the intention either: De Bron-Noord is emphatically a residential neighbourhood, focused on peace and space.
The population composition confirms that picture. With 350 family households and a large group of residents between 25 and 45 years old, and as many as 490 children under 15, this is a neighbourhood where families set the tone. The average income of €50,800 and the high proportion of highly educated residents (56%) make it clear that this is an affluent neighbourhood.
