Living in Reehorst, Ede

Reehorst is located in the south of Ede, nestled between Stationsweg, the railway line and the green edge towards the Veluwe. It is a mixed neighbourhood with both post-war terraced houses and porch flats as well as newer apartment complexes, such as the complex on Hoefweg where many students and starters live. The atmosphere is predominantly quiet and village-like, despite the proximity to the centre. Resident C describes it aptly: "A nice and pleasant neighbourhood, cosiness is everywhere. If you're not looking for that, you can always say so and enjoy the peace and quiet." That mix of cosiness and tranquillity typifies Reehorst well.

The neighbourhood has 4,545 residents, the largest group being between 25 and 45 years old (1,365 people). With 1,120 single-person households, it is clear that many single people, starters and students live here. Yet there are also families: 710 children under 15 indicate a strong family component. The average disposable income is €35,700, comparable to the rest of Ede-Zuid.

Daily shopping can be done within walking distance. On Stationsweg and in the nearby Ede-centrum shopping centre you will find, among others, an Albert Heijn and Jumbo.

Secondary schools like Pallas Athene College are within cycling distance. For sports, there are opportunities at De Vallei sports park and the nearby De Peppel swimming pool. The Veluwe literally begins at the edge of the neighbourhood, so running, cycling or walking in the greenery is a matter of stepping out the door.

Honest picture: plus points and points for attention

Residents give Reehorst an average of 8.0, but there are also caveats. Student Lotta (7.0/10) warns: safety could be better. She experiences nuisance from loitering youths around Hoefweg at night, resulting in noise pollution. The sub-scores for safety (7.3) and beauty (6.3) are therefore lower than the overall score. This is something to keep in mind if you are looking for a rental home in Reehorst, especially around the apartment blocks. At the same time, resident Safouan (8.1/10) mentions the pleasant contacts with neighbours: "Nice neighbours with whom you can have a pleasant chat, a cup of coffee is also an option."

Compared to neighbouring areas in Ede-Zuid, Reehorst offers a slightly higher WOZ value than, for example, Hoogbouw-Zuid, which is more focused on stacked social housing. The Enka neighbourhood has a different character due to the former factory sites and new-build projects. If you want more variety, you can also look at the supply in the Uitvindersbuurt.
