Rental prices and market figures for Sluisoord, Apeldoorn
Sluisoord is a neighbourhood where renting dominates: 55% of the more than 1,800 homes are rental properties, compared to 45% owner-occupied. Strikingly, as much as 50% of all homes are owned by a housing association. The private sector is therefore limited: only about 6% of the housing stock falls under other landlords. This makes rental homes in Sluisoord scarce outside the social housing circuit.
The average WOZ value is €314,000. This is noticeably lower than the average in the district Noordoost (€362,000) and also lower than the municipal average of Apeldoorn (€378,000). Sluisoord is thus one of the more affordable neighbourhoods in the area, which is also reflected in house prices.
In the private sector (excluding social housing), only one home was rented out in the past year, for €455 per month. This is an extremely limited sample and does not give a complete picture of the market.

Atmosphere and safety
Safety scores a 6.5 and community a 4.5, the two lowest subscores. The latter is telling. A long-term resident describes his experience as follows: "I have lived here for 55 years now, but it is not getting any nicer. In the beginning, it was good living. Now I live among a very different kind of people. I would like to leave, but the housing association imposes so many conditions that I stay out of cheapness." (Jan Bijsterbosch, 6.4/10). This is an honest voice that shows that the neighbourhood feels less pleasant for some longer-term residents due to changes in the population composition. The beauty of the neighbourhood, however, scores much better with an 8.0, indicating a well-maintained living environment.

I've lived here for 55 years now, but it's not getting any nicer. In the beginning it was good living. I live alone now; both my parents died here. I was allowed to stay, but now I live among very different kinds of people. I would like to leave, but the housing association sets so many requirements that I'll probably end up staying.
