Buying a house in Apeldoorn: the housing market in 2026
Apeldoorn is one of the larger cities in Gelderland and has been attracting buyers seeking space, greenery and good accessibility for years. With over 168,000 residents, it is not a small village, but it does not feel like a hectic city either. The Veluwe literally begins at the edge of the built-up area, the station is on the Amersfoort-Deventer line, and employers such as the Kadaster, the Tax and Customs Administration and insurer Achmea provide a stable regional labour market. This combination makes Apeldoorn attractive for families, home-movers and people looking for more space from the Randstad.
Of the more than 75,000 homes in Apeldoorn, about 60% are owner-occupied. The average WOZ value is €378,000, while the average selling price over the past twelve months came to €504,931. That is a significant difference, showing that plenty of trading is also happening in the higher segment. The range is wide: from around €114,500 for a compact apartment to €3,875,000 for a detached villa on the edge of the forest. The average floor area of sold homes is 122 m². In total, 916 homes changed hands in the past year. At the top of this page you will always find the current state of supply, including asking prices and selling times. Buurtje.nl aggregates homes from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you can assess not only the home but also the neighbourhood.

Uddel and surroundings, village living with the highest score
Uddel stands out with the highest neighbourhood score in the municipality: a 9.2, although based on 2 reviews. This village southwest of Apeldoorn is truly rural. Here you buy a home with space, often on a larger plot, and you live in the middle of nature. It is a close-knit community where not everyone feels at home immediately, but if you are looking for peace and space, it is an excellent option. Prices per square metre are lower than in the city, but the total picture can increase significantly due to plot size. View the housing supply in Uddel.
Zuidoost, a mix of old and new
Zuidoost receives a 7.9 from residents based on 12 reviews. The neighbourhood has both older areas and newer expansions towards Zuidbroek. Construction is still ongoing here, offering opportunities for those seeking new-build homes. Amenities are good, with shopping centre Zuidbroek and several primary schools. Buying an apartment in Apeldoorn is relatively affordable here compared to Zuid or Noord. View the homes in Zuidoost.
In addition, there are neighbourhoods such as Wenum Wiesel Beemte (8.3 from residents), which offers a village alternative north of the city. West scores an 8.0 and is popular with families due to its location near the Berg en Bos park. And for those looking for a home in the vibrant heart of the city, the Centre is an option, although it scores significantly lower on living experience with a 6.1.

What to look out for when buying a home in Apeldoorn?
Firstly: the price differences between neighbourhoods are large. A terraced house in Noordoost will cost you significantly less than a comparable home in Zuid or Noord. So look carefully at what your priorities are. Do you want to be close to nature, or are schools and shops within walking distance more important?
Secondly: the market in Apeldoorn has picked up significantly in recent years. With an average selling price of over €500,000 and limited supply in the mid-range segment, you need to act quickly as a buyer. Make sure your financing is in order before you go viewing. Overbidding occurs, especially for well-maintained family homes.
Thirdly: accessibility varies by neighbourhood. If you live in the centre or near Apeldoorn station, you can quickly catch the train to Amersfoort or Zwolle. But in outlying areas such as Loenen or Hoenderloo, you are really dependent on the car.
Finally: use neighbourhood data in your choice. On Buurtje.nl you can see per neighbourhood how residents score on safety, greenery, amenities and more. This gives you a more realistic picture than just a viewing on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Are you also considering renting? Then view the overview of rental homes in Apeldoorn.

Very calm environment with very friendly people
Auto-translated to English by AIA simple neighbourhood but nowadays everything is being crammed into vacant houses. Families that mess up the front and back gardens. This has been reported several times but the housing association thinks it's fine and doesn't consider the neighbours. A school with a lot of traffic nuisance and dog owners who walk their dogs on a children's playground without cleaning up. There is also dealing on the school grounds in the dark evenings and it takes a while before the police or enforcement arrive.
Auto-translated to English by AINeighbourhood is nicely quiet
Auto-translated to English by AIused to be a fine area but for a few years now the living pleasure and safety in the neighbourhood have been declining a lot. drug dealing in the evening with a lot of noise and parking nuisance
Auto-translated to English by AII'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.
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone does their best in this beautiful neighbourhood, just like the shopping centre de Eglantier around the corner. I have lived in de Warenargaarde for more than 20 years and am very satisfied, peace and hope that we may have it for a long time together with our neighbours.
Auto-translated to English by AIA beautiful quiet area with lots of nature nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AII have only had bad experiences with the neighbourhood. And it is very unsafe because of drug addicts. And the municipality does nothing except point fingers at each other. The community is also nothing, we have very little greenery. Only accessible by car. And furthermore no public transport nearby and no shops in the area.
