Rental homes in Loolaan-Noord, Apeldoorn

Rental prices and market figures Loolaan-Noord, Apeldoorn

Loolaan-Noord is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: of the 956 homes, only 18% are for rent, and all those rental properties are owned by private landlords. There is no housing association property in this neighbourhood, meaning social housing is not available here. Anyone looking for a rental home in Loolaan-Noord must rely on the private sector.

In the private sector (excluding social housing), 21 homes were rented out in the past twelve months. The average rent was €1,089 per month, with a range of €700 to €1,695 per month. The average living area was 69 m², which works out at about €15.80 per m². That is a modest price for a neighbourhood with an average WOZ value of €450,000, which is clearly above the district average of Noord (€426,000) and well above the municipal average of Apeldoorn (€378,000). The property values in Loolaan-Noord are therefore among the higher ones in the city. For current rental prices and available rental properties, see the overview at the top of this page.

Living in Loolaan-Noord, Apeldoorn

Loolaan-Noord is a quiet, green and tidy residential neighbourhood in the north of Apeldoorn, directly bordering the wooded area around Paleis Het Loo. The neighbourhood has a clear character: spacious, mostly detached and semi-detached houses from the 1950s to 1970s, with large gardens and wide streets. It is not a neighbourhood for those seeking hustle and bustle, but rather for those who appreciate peace, greenery and a certain seclusion. The average WOZ value of €450,000 reflects that: this is not a cheap neighbourhood to live in, whether buying or renting.

Facilities in Loolaan-Noord

The neighbourhood itself is relatively small-scale with around 2,075 residents, and therefore does not have an extensive range of shops within walking distance. For daily groceries, residents rely on surrounding neighbourhoods. In the direction of the Loolaan and the adjacent part of Noord, supermarkets are accessible, but expect a bike or car ride. Primary schools are available in the wider district of Noord; the neighbourhood score for education (7.0) is the lowest sub-score and suggests that this is a point of attention for some residents. For sports and recreation, the location is actually strong: the forests around Paleis Het Loo are just around the corner and offer extensive walking and cycling opportunities. Sports clubs can be found in the adjacent neighbourhoods.

Accessibility of Loolaan-Noord

By car, Loolaan-Noord is easily accessible via the N50 and the connection towards the A1 and A50, the two motorways that serve Apeldoorn. The centre of Apeldoorn is a few minutes' drive away. By bike, the centre is also easily reachable via the Loolaan, a wide avenue with a cycle path. Bus services run via the Loolaan towards the centre and Apeldoorn station, from where intercity trains depart to Amersfoort and Zutphen. Parking is generally not a problem in this neighbourhood: most homes have their own driveway or space in front of the door. Residents give accessibility an 8.5, which matches this picture.

Atmosphere and community

The neighbourhood has a strong sense of community, especially for a quiet residential area. Residents keep in touch via a neighbourhood app and organise joint activities. Resident Francis Tiemens describes it as follows: "A very pleasant and agreeable living environment. Contact is maintained via the neighbourhood app and people are warned about things. On 5 May we had a joint breakfast as a street." That says something about the involvement of residents. The average age is high, with over-65s as the largest group (615 of the 2,075 residents), which explains the quiet character. More information about the neighbourhood, including all resident experiences, can be found on the neighbourhood page of Loolaan-Noord.

Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as De Parken and Paleispark, Loolaan-Noord is slightly more affordable in rent, but the supply is more limited. Those looking for more urban facilities can also look at Centrum or Zuidwest. The character then differs greatly: more liveliness, but less greenery and peace.

Is renting in Loolaan-Noord right for you?

Loolaan-Noord is most suitable for tenants who appreciate peace, space and greenery and are willing to pay a price for it in the private sector. Given the dominance of over-65s and married households (43%), this is not a typical starter neighbourhood, but the presence of single-person households (400) shows that there is also room for singles. Starters with a limited budget will find it difficult: social housing is not available here, and the private sector starts at €700 per month. If you are considering staying in Apeldoorn longer, you can also look at owner-occupied homes in Loolaan-Noord as an alternative. The supply of rental houses is limited, so respond quickly when something becomes available. Prepare your documents (payslips, employer's statement) in advance. For social housing, you can register with housing association De Goede Woning, active in Apeldoorn, but be prepared for waiting lists. More information about living in the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Apeldoorn.
