Hooglanderveen: a village that reinvented itself
Hooglanderveen still feels like a village, even though it officially forms part of Amersfoort. Residents describe it as quiet, social and green, but no longer as old-fashioned as it used to be. Nathalie, who lived there as a child, wrote on the neighbourhood page: "When I moved there as a child with my parents and brother, there weren't many facilities, it was all a bit old-fashioned; over the years this has improved significantly." The arrival of Vathorst, with its own station and shopping centre, has boosted accessibility and the level of facilities considerably. Mimi, who has lived there for over eight years, is unequivocally positive: "I have the nicest neighbours and the nature around our neighbourhood is very extensive. You can walk around here in the middle of the night without worrying about anything." That sense of safety is widely shared: residents give safety a 9.2 on the Hooglanderveen neighbourhood page, the highest sub-score of all.
The overall resident score on Buurtje.nl stands at 8.0 out of 10, based on five reviews. Green spaces (8.0), beauty (8.0) and education (8.0) score well. Accessibility and community are at 7.8, which is reasonable for a village on the edge of the city. Housing scores lowest at 7.2, which is logical given the limited rental supply. Charlotte sums up the social side succinctly: "The people are very sociable, everyone greets each other, we have the nicest supermarket in our village." It's a neighbourhood where people know each other, and you can tell.
Hooglanderveen consists of several sub-areas. The Dorpskern Hooglanderveen is the historic heart of the village. A bit more on the outskirts you'll find areas such as Heideweg en omgeving and the greener Hoekveen en omgeving. For those looking for a bit more urban allure within Hooglanderveen, Lient en omgeving is worth a look. The municipality of Amersfoort manages part of the public space and facilities; more information can be found on the website of the municipality of Amersfoort.
Renting in Hooglanderveen: for families and established residents, less so for starters

there is a lot of green in my neighbourhood, but there are also many old people
Auto-translated to English by AIWhen I came to live here as a child with my parents and brother, there weren't many facilities, it was all a bit old-fashioned, but over the years this has improved significantly. A new supermarket has opened in the village, Vathorst has been built with, among other things, the station and shopping centre, in the past few years streets have been improved and a tunnel for cyclists has been added. It is being built up more and more, so the peace and quiet is somewhat less present, but it hasn't necessarily become more unsafe because of that. Furthermore, bins are emptied regularly and there is a forest on the edge of the village. There are also a few small parks here and there. The primary school that used to be on the site of the supermarket hasn't disappeared, but has moved to another location in the village. Also, just outside the village is the secondary school, Vathorst College.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave the kindest neighbours and the nature around our neighbourhood is very extensive. You can just walk around here in the middle of the night without worrying about anything! We've been living here for 8+ years and it's the best choice we've ever made. The houses here come at many different prices, so many different people come to live here. There's a primary school nearby and soon also a secondary school.
