Living in Appel Driedorp Kruishaar Prinsenkamp en Slichtenhorst: green, quiet and far from the hustle and bustle
This is not a neighbourhood in the classic sense of the word. Appel, Driedorp, Kruishaar, Prinsenkamp and Slichtenhorst are small villages and hamlets scattered across the rural area north and east of Nijkerk, surrounded by meadows, forest edges and agricultural land. Those who live here consciously choose space and tranquillity. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and almost half of households are married. That says something about who settled here: people who consciously left the city behind.
On the neighbourhood page of Appel Driedorp Kruishaar Prinsenkamp en Slichtenhorst you will find resident reviews and neighbourhood data. Residents appreciate the peace, the space around the home and the sense of community in the smaller villages. A frequently heard point of criticism is the limited walking distance to daily amenities: for a supermarket, GP or school you are dependent on a bike or car towards Nijkerk town. In Appel itself there is a primary school, but secondary education and larger shops are only found in Nijkerk or Amersfoort. The sub-neighbourhood Appel/'t Woud has somewhat more compact development, while Slichtenhorst is even more rural in character.
In terms of accessibility: by car you are quickly on the A28 towards Amersfoort or Zwolle. Nijkerk has its own train station with connections to Amersfoort (about 15 minutes) and Zwolle. However, from the rural areas this station is not within walking distance, so a car or bike is indispensable. Bus connections are limited. Those accustomed to urban public transport will have to let that go here. The municipality of Nijkerk is working on accessibility and sustainability in the region; more information can be found on the website of the municipality of Nijkerk. For those seeking the combination of green living and good road access, this area fits well. Also compare Hoevelaken, which has a similarly quiet character but offers slightly more amenities within reach.
For which buyers is buying in Appel Driedorp Kruishaar Prinsenkamp en Slichtenhorst realistic?
Given the average purchase price of nearly one million euros, buying a home in Appel Driedorp Kruishaar Prinsenkamp en Slichtenhorst is mainly reserved for movers with equity or buyers with substantial personal assets. First-time buyers and those considering buying an apartment will find hardly any supply here that fits an average budget. Moreover, supply is scarce: only eight transactions in a year means you have to act quickly when something becomes available. Also take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2%) and notary fees.
