Living in Sprengenbos, Apeldoorn

Sprengenbos owes its name to the streams that run through this part of Apeldoorn-West: the Grift and the Badhuisspreng wind their way through the greenery. It is a predominantly green, quiet residential neighbourhood with a mix of post-war single-family homes from the 1950s and 1960s, supplemented by detached homes and semi-detached houses on spacious plots along the edges towards the woods. Many streets, such as Soerenseweg and Jachtlaan, are lined with mature trees. The atmosphere is village-like and established: many residents have lived here for years, and the average age is high. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (1,235 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (1,175). However, there are also families with children (605 children under 15).
