What does a rental property cost in Zuid? Affordable compared to the rest of Apeldoorn
Zuid is one of the few neighbourhoods in Apeldoorn where the rental market is still somewhat accessible. The average WOZ value here is €285,000, well below the municipal average of €378,000. This is also reflected in private-sector rents: over the past twelve months, a rental property in Zuid was let for an average of €1,055 per month, with a range of €515 to €1,800. This concerns private-sector properties, so excluding social housing via housing associations. The average floor area of those properties was 111 m², which is reasonably spacious for that price level. At the top of this page you will always find the current daily prices and the current supply.
Strikingly, 53% of the housing stock in Zuid is rental housing. Of all homes, 42% is owned by housing associations, meaning the social rental sector is strongly represented here. The remaining 11% is rented out by private or institutional landlords. With only 27 private-sector rentals in the past year, supply is limited. Anyone looking for a rental home in the private sector therefore needs to act quickly. By comparison, the average income in Zuid is €31,400, compared to €36,500 municipality-wide. This makes the affordability of renting here all the more relevant.
Neighbourhood parties and parking nuisance: the honest story about living in Zuid
Residents of Zuid rate their neighbourhood on Buurtje.nl an 8.4 out of 10, based on twelve reviews. The scores for green spaces (8.9) and amenities (8.9) stand out in particular. And that fits: the neighbourhood borders Zuiderpark and has shopping centre De Eglantier, a daily amenity point within walking distance. Accessibility scores an 8.5, partly thanks to good bus connections to the station and the proximity of the A1 via Laan van Malkenschoten.
What stands out in the reviews is the strong sense of community. Several residents, including Jan, emphasise the social character: "A neighbourhood party every year" and "being there for each other, helping each other when needed." This mutual involvement is especially noticeable in neighbourhoods like het Vogelkwartier and het Rivierenkwartier, where streets are narrower and neighbours know each other. In Brummelhof and het Staatsliedenkwartier you will find similar atmospheres, although it varies per street.
But there is also a downside. Resident J. van Veen gives a 5.1 and writes about "a lot of parking nuisance, drug crime and noisy parkers" in the evenings. That experience matches the safety score of 8.0, the lowest sub-score of the neighbourhood. It is fair to say that some parts of Zuid, particularly around Kayersmolen-Noord and Kayersmolen-Midden, have a less strong image than the green Malkenschoten on the southern edge. The cleanliness score of 7.8 confirms that picture: not everywhere is equally tidy. On the neighbourhood page of Zuid you can read all resident reviews and extensive neighbourhood data, so you can judge for yourself which area suits you best.

The neighbourhood is also interesting for families with school-age children: the education score of 8.2 is solid.
