The neighbourhood has a green, village character with predominantly detached houses and semi-detached houses from the 1960s to the 1980s, supplemented by some newer terraced houses. The streetscape is quiet; the ribbon development along roads such as the Rondweg and surrounding streets gives the neighbourhood a rural feel that you won't find in more urban parts of Ede.

Is renting in Wormshoef right for you?
Wormshoef is most suitable for families and those aged 45 and over who appreciate peace, space and greenery and are willing to pay a bit more for a private sector home. Starters and young people will find the supply limited and may see the reliance on a car as a drawback. For social housing, there is a waiting list at the local housing association, presumably Woonstede or another active party in the Ede region. Register as early as possible. Also check the supply of owner-occupied homes in Wormshoef as an alternative, because with 64% owner-occupied homes, that is the dominant housing type in the neighbourhood. Respond quickly to available rental properties: the private sector supply is scarce and homes are usually rented out quickly. Prepare your documents (payslips, employer's statement, ID) so you can respond immediately.
