Living in De Hooilanden, Apeldoorn
De Hooilanden is a quiet, green neighbourhood on the southeastern edge of Apeldoorn, located in the Klarenbeek area. The neighbourhood has a rural character that clearly differs from the more urban districts closer to the centre. Those looking for a rental home with space, peace and greenery around the corner will find it here rather than in a compact city neighbourhood. The housing mainly consists of detached and semi-detached homes, largely built in the 1980s and 1990s. Renting an apartment in De Hooilanden is therefore rare: the supply consists almost entirely of ground-based homes.
With 830 residents, De Hooilanden is a small neighbourhood. The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds, which partly determines the character of the neighbourhood: it is not a student area or dynamic starter district, but an environment where families and middle-aged people feel at home. 48% of residents are married, and households with children form the largest household group.
Facilities in De Hooilanden
The neighbourhood itself has few facilities of its own, which is logical for a small residential area of this size. For daily groceries, residents rely on nearby centres. The village of Klarenbeek, directly adjacent to the district, offers basic facilities including a small supermarket and a village café. For a full range of shops, health centres and schools, residents drive or cycle to Apeldoorn-Zuid or the centre of Apeldoorn. Primary schools in the area are within cycling distance. The proximity of the Veluwe and the surrounding countryside makes De Hooilanden attractive for people who enjoy walking, cycling and being outdoors: extensive forest paths and cycling routes start almost directly behind the back garden.
Accessibility
De Hooilanden lies outside the built-up area of Apeldoorn and has no bus stop with frequent connections. Car owners are better off: via the N792 and then the A1 or A50, the regional road network is quickly accessible. The centre of Apeldoorn can be reached by car in about ten to fifteen minutes. Apeldoorn station is about eight kilometres away. By bike, the centre is accessible via main cycle paths, although the distance for daily commuting is considerable. Parking is not a problem: in this neighbourhood there is ample parking space available, without a permit requirement.
On the neighbourhood page of De Hooilanden you will find resident reviews and detailed district data. Residents appreciate the peace and space the neighbourhood offers. One resident writes: "You really live outside the city here, but you're there whenever you want. Ideal if you love peace but still want to use all the facilities of Apeldoorn." A frequently heard point of criticism is the limited walkability for daily groceries and the dependence on the car.
If you are considering other neighbourhoods in the area: Klarenbeek has a slightly more village-like character with more facilities of its own, while De Hooilanden-Oosterhuizen has a similar green and quiet profile. Wolthuis is also an option for those looking to rent in this corner of Apeldoorn.
Is renting in De Hooilanden right for you?
De Hooilanden is most suitable for families and people aged 35 to 65 who consciously choose peace, space and greenery, and are willing to pay a higher rent for it. Starters and students will likely find the rental prices of €1,595 to €1,995 per month too high and are also dependent on a car. Since there are no social rental homes in the neighbourhood, there is no waiting list at a housing association to sign up for. The available rental supply is limited: only four free-sector homes were rented out last year. Respond quickly when a home becomes available, as homes in this segment are usually rented out quickly. Make sure you have your income statement, employer's statement and ID ready. Also consider owner-occupied homes in De Hooilanden as an alternative, especially given the high WOZ values and limited rental stock.
