Living in Orden, Apeldoorn

Orden is a post-war residential neighbourhood in the west of Apeldoorn, built in the 1950s and 1960s. The neighbourhood has a compact, clear-cut character with a mix of porch flats, single-family homes and terraced houses. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural peculiarities, but rather for a certain familiar, everyday atmosphere. Resident Dewi describes it aptly: "I think Orden is a nice neighbourhood to live in, Ordenplein is nearby and there you have the most convenient and necessary shops."

Ordenplein forms the beating heart of the neighbourhood. Here you have daily groceries within easy reach, with supermarkets and smaller shops within walking distance for most residents. For a wider range of shops or catering, the city centre of Apeldoorn is easily accessible.

Facilities in Orden

Orden scores well on facilities. There are several primary schools in the neighbourhood itself, and according to residents, there are also two secondary schools within a short distance. This makes the neighbourhood practical for families with school-age children. There are enough playgrounds spread throughout the district, which is also mentioned by residents as a plus point. For sports and recreation, the adjacent Berg en Bos area offers extensive opportunities: walking and cycling paths, forest and greenery within cycling distance. Within Orden itself, greenery is limited, which is reflected in the resident score for greenery (7.5).

Accessibility

Accessibility is one of Orden's strongest points. Residents give this a 9.5 out of 10, the highest sub-score of the neighbourhood. The centre of Apeldoorn can be reached by bicycle in about ten minutes. By bus, there are direct connections to Apeldoorn station, from where trains run to Zutphen, Deventer and Amersfoort. By car, the A1 and A50 are accessible via the arterial roads on the west side of the city. Parking is free in most streets in Orden, without a permit requirement, which is a practical advantage for residents with a car.

Atmosphere and community life

The neighbourhood has a mixed population: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years, but families with children (1,040 residents under 15) are also well represented. The proportion of single-person households is high (1,275 out of approximately 3,076 homes). This gives Orden a diverse character. The community score of 7.5 suggests that social cohesion is present, but not exceptionally strong. Jeffrey, another resident, is succinctly positive: "Great neighbourhood, never had any problems with it." More experiences from residents can be read on the neighbourhood page of Orden, where all sub-scores and reviews are also listed.

Compared to neighbouring community Sprengenbos or the slightly greener Sprengenweg-Noord, Orden has a more urban character and is more focused on daily amenities. If you are looking for a rental home with plenty of greenery right around the corner, you would be better off looking at those adjacent neighbourhoods. If you value accessibility and a full range of amenities within walking distance, Orden is a good fit.

Is Orden right for you as a tenant?

Orden is attractive to a wide audience. Families benefit from the proximity of schools and playgrounds. Seniors find a quiet neighbourhood with good accessibility and daily amenities close by. Starters considering renting an apartment in Orden will mainly qualify through a housing association, given the high proportion of social housing. Registering with Uwoon or another active housing association in Apeldoorn is then the appropriate route, but be prepared for waiting times. The free-sector supply is limited: only a few homes are rented out per year in this segment, and they usually go quickly. So it pays to respond quickly to a home for rent in Orden. Those considering buying can also look at the supply of homes for sale in Orden as an alternative. The lower WOZ value compared to the rest of the district makes buying here relatively more accessible.
