Loenen and surrounding area: living between the Veluwe and the tranquillity of the countryside
Loenen and surrounding area is not an urban neighbourhood. It is a green, quiet area on the edge of Apeldoorn, bordering the Veluwe. The atmosphere is that of a village that belongs to a city: you have nature around the corner, but you can be in the centre of Apeldoorn by car within twenty minutes. Residents appreciate that contrast. On the neighbourhood page of Loenen and surrounding area you can read what people themselves write about it. A recurring theme in the reviews is the peace and quiet and the surroundings: "You really live in the green here, but you are not cut off from the city," is a frequently heard description. The downside that residents mention is the limited accessibility without a car. Public transport is scarce, and for daily shopping you have to rely on a car or bicycle.
The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas, each with its own character. Bosgebied Loenen is exactly what the name promises: buildings in the middle of the forest, with many detached houses and few rental properties. Loenen itself is the village heart, with a modest range of amenities. Het Goreld is a somewhat newer sub-neighbourhood with a different streetscape. The population composition says a lot about the character of the area: the largest group of residents is 45 to 65 years old (over 1,000 of the 3,330 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over. Young families and starters are less represented, partly because the supply of owner-occupied homes dominates and rental prices in the private sector are high. It is a neighbourhood you choose for peace and quiet, not for liveliness.
Amenities such as schools, supermarkets and sports facilities are present but limited. For a larger range, you drive to Apeldoorn. This makes renting in Loenen and surrounding area a conscious choice for people who appreciate nature and silence and are willing to sacrifice urban convenience for it.
