Living in De Heeze, Apeldoorn
De Heeze is a post-war residential neighbourhood in the southwest of Apeldoorn, built up mainly of terraced houses and porch flats from the 1960s and 1970s. The streetscape is functional and sober: wide residential streets, relatively little greenery, and a predominantly older housing stock. With 2,380 inhabitants, it is a medium-sized neighbourhood. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, followed by those aged 65 and over. Single-person households are the most common (520 of the households). This gives De Heeze a mixed character: both older residents who have lived there for decades and single people who find an affordable home there.
Facilities
The immediate provision of facilities in De Heeze itself is limited. Residents rely on surrounding neighbourhoods for daily shopping. Primary schools are accessible near the neighbourhood, but parents usually drive or cycle to facilities in adjacent district parts. Sports opportunities are available through clubs elsewhere in Zuidwest, but a park or play area within walking distance is largely absent. Residents confirm this: in the reviews, the scarcity of greenery and facilities is mentioned several times. Anyone used to a neighbourhood with a supermarket on the corner and a park at the back door will be disappointed in De Heeze.
Accessibility
The accessibility of De Heeze is a recurring point of criticism. Public transport is limited, and residents indicate that a car is practically essential. By car, the centre of Apeldoorn can be reached in about ten to fifteen minutes. The connection to the A1 and A50 is reasonable from Zuidwest, but from De Heeze itself you still have to drive there. Cycling to the centre is possible, but the distance is on the long side for daily use. Parking in the neighbourhood is generally free and on the street.
What residents say
The resident rating of De Heeze on the neighbourhood page of De Heeze is low: an average of 2.7 out of 10, based on 9 reviews. Safety scores the worst with a 1.4, followed by community (1.8) and facilities (1.6). Housing and beauty score relatively best, both with a 3.7. One resident writes: "The neighbourhood is unsafe due to a heavy drug addict. And nothing is done about it. People are strange and the facilities could be much better. There is little greenery. Only accessible by car." These sentiments recur in several reviews. It is honest information that you won't find anywhere else at neighbourhood level, and which you as a home seeker must seriously weigh up.
Comparison with surrounding neighbourhoods
Anyone considering renting in De Heeze but also curious about alternatives in the area can look at Ugchelen or Westenenk. Those neighbourhoods have a different character and may better match what you are looking for in terms of greenery, facilities or atmosphere. De Bouwhof is also a neighbourhood in the same district worth considering. Rental prices in De Heeze are on the lower side compared to the district average of Zuidwest, which makes the neighbourhood attractive for those who primarily select on price.
Who is a rental home in De Heeze interesting for?

For families with young children or people who value safety, greenery and an active neighbourhood community, De Heeze is less suitable based on current resident scores. Anyone considering renting an apartment in De Heeze in the free sector would do well to respond quickly to supply: the free-sector supply is small.

I have only had bad experiences with the neighbourhood. And it is very unsafe because of drug addicts. And the municipality does nothing except point fingers at each other. The community is also nothing, we have very little greenery. Only accessible by car. And furthermore no public transport nearby and no shops in the area.
