Quiet, green yet close to the city: daily life in Vermeerkwartier
Vermeerkwartier scores a 9.1 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident experiences. That is a high score, and reading the reviews you understand why. Resident R. writes: "Personally, I find it a nice neighbourhood to raise my children. Amenities are within easy cycling distance, there is plenty of greenery, and the people around me are friendly." That sentiment is echoed in several reviews. Klaas Morsch calls it "very nice" because of the friendly people, and S. describes it as a "lovely neighbourhood, nice and close to the city". The accessibility score of 9.7 and the green score of 9.7 are the highest sub-scores, and that matches how the neighbourhood feels: spacious, lots of trees, yet well connected to the centre of Amersfoort.
The district is divided into several neighbourhoods, each with its own atmosphere. In Vermeerkwartier-West and Vermeerkwartier-Oost you will find predominantly quiet residential streets with ground-floor homes, while Dorrestein and Bekenstein / De Luiaard have a slightly different character. Amenities score a 9.5 among residents: daily shopping, schools and sports facilities are easily accessible by bike.

There are relatively many families, and the neighbourhood has a quiet, established character. Single-person households are the largest category (1,405), but these are partly older singles. It is not a neighbourhood with many student flats or nightlife.
