Living in De Mheen, Apeldoorn
De Mheen is a quiet, predominantly ground-based residential neighbourhood in the northeast of Apeldoorn. The buildings largely consist of post-war single-family homes, terraced houses and detached houses, with the occasional porch block or multi-family dwelling. The streets are spacious, there is a lot of greenery in the immediate vicinity and the atmosphere is that of an average Gelderland residential area where people have lived for years and know each other. Residents themselves describe it as a neighbourhood where you know your neighbours and where you can always turn to someone. One reviewer put it aptly: "It is a very safe neighbourhood where people are also in various neighbourhood apps. You can always turn to people in your neighbourhood and know almost everyone in your area."
Yet there are also critical voices. Several residents are concerned about the placement of large families in homes that are less suitable for them, resulting in nuisance and pollution of front and back gardens. Contacts with the housing association have reportedly yielded little result. To be fair: this occurs in more post-war neighbourhoods in Apeldoorn, but it is something to keep in mind if you are looking for a quiet environment.

A simple neighbourhood but nowadays everything is being crammed into vacant houses. Families that mess up the front and back gardens. This has been reported several times but the housing association thinks it's fine and doesn't consider the neighbours. A school with a lot of traffic nuisance and dog owners who walk their dogs on a children's playground without cleaning up. There is also dealing on the school grounds in the dark evenings and it takes a while before the police or enforcement arrive.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a very safe neighbourhood where people also participate in various neighbourhood apps. You can always turn to people in your neighbourhood and know almost everyone in your area. It is also a very clean neighbourhood where you find little litter on the street due to enough waste collection points. Only the education is somewhat lacking as there is only one primary school and one secondary school. You don't have to look far for greenery here, as you almost live next to a park. This park has many facilities to keep you entertained. There are also facilities such as a swimming pool and grass fields for sports. Accessibility is also fine, as you can reach this area from almost any part of Apeldoorn. In summary, it is a quiet, pleasant neighbourhood with plenty to do, and the people in the area are very friendly. There are also many amenities such as a shopping centre and a large park with lots of greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur neighbourhood has quite a sense of community, despite the fact that different people live here. It's just a shame that sometimes they place families in houses that would be better off in a flat. They spoil the neighbourhood. The youth are cheeky, so there's nuisance. Contacted the housing association but with little result. They do come to look and then 'shame on you', but nothing further is done. In terms of children, it's also very nice to live near a school. Only some traffic issues with drop-off and pick-up. There's also a grass field for the youth, but it's a shame there's no supervision of dog owners who walk their dogs there. We've lived here for 24 years with pleasure, but these are things that impoverish the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIGreat neighbourhood, park and shops within walking distance. More elderly people than young people, which I sometimes find a bit of a shame.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in the neighbourhood for over 13 years, I find it a nice neighbourhood myself. All people who are friendly, I'm quite proud of that. The cosiness among the neighbourhood and children. It's cosy on our street.
Auto-translated to English by AIA cosy neighbourhood in itself Also with foreign families (Turkish, Moroccan and other foreigners) Every neighbourhood has its bad apples but that shouldn't spoil it here, it remains super nice a school nearby with a playground Only some residents with dogs think it's a dog walking field and don't clean up, that should be better enforced there are too few bins for dog waste after all we pay dog tax (I do) Football club within cycling distance park with fishing water and we all keep an eye on everything except 2 houses Shopping centre within walking distance
