Kernhem: a new-build neighbourhood with a quiet family character and plenty of green space

Kernhem is a relatively young neighbourhood on the south side of Ede, built in phases from the 1990s onwards. The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas, each with its own character. De Bergen has a somewhat village-like feel with larger plots, while De Bossen is closer to the greenery and De Venen en Zanden has slightly more compact development. What connects the neighbourhoods: wide streets, lots of green space, and a predominantly young population. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years old, and families with children form the largest household group. This is visible in the neighbourhood: playgrounds, primary schools and cycle paths dominate the streetscape.

On the neighbourhood page of Kernhem you can find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents appreciate the peace, space and safety for children. A common sentiment: "it's green and quiet here, the children play outside on the street." Some residents are less positive about the accessibility by public transport. Kernhem does not have its own train station; the nearest is Ede-Wageningen station, a cycling distance away. For daily shopping, there are facilities within the neighbourhood itself, but for a larger range of shops you need to go to the centre of Ede. Those used to urban bustle right around the corner will notice that Kernhem has been deliberately designed at a distance from that dynamism. For most residents, that is precisely a plus, but it is good to know this in advance.

Labour participation in Kernhem is high (76%) and the average income of €41,000 is clearly above the Ede average of €37,000. The neighbourhood attracts people who consciously choose space and quiet, and that character has remained stable over the years.
