Buying a house in Barneveld: the housing market in 2026
Barneveld is one of the fastest-growing municipalities on the Veluwe, and for good reason. With over 62,500 residents, a strong local economy and a location at the intersection of nature and accessibility, the municipality attracts both families and home-movers. The poultry sector historically put Barneveld on the map, but nowadays it is mainly the mix of village living and quick access to the A1 or A30 that appeals to buyers. Amersfoort and Amersfoort Central are a quarter of an hour's drive away, Utrecht and Apeldoorn within 40 minutes.
The housing market in Barneveld is predominantly owner-occupied: 68% of the more than 23,500 homes are owner-occupied, only 32% are rental. The average WOZ value is €434,000. In the past twelve months, 225 homes have been sold at an average purchase price of €666,927, with a range of €125,000 to over €15.9 million. The latter is an outlier, but it shows that estates and villas also change hands in the rural areas. The market is tight: homes sell quickly and overbidding is more the rule than the exception. At the top of this page you can see the current time on market and the current supply. Buurtje.nl bundles homes from more than 1,500 sources and shows the neighbourhood score and resident reviews for each home, so you look beyond just the asking price.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Barneveld
The municipality of Barneveld has ten official neighbourhoods, from the lively centre of the village of Barneveld to quiet church villages such as De Glind and Kootwijk on the Veluwe. Each village has its own character, and the price differences are significant. Below are the most important neighbourhoods for buyers.
Barneveld-dorp, the beating heart of the municipality
The village of Barneveld is by far the largest centre and offers the most amenities: shopping centre De Veluwe, the Schaffelaartheater, secondary schools and a station with direct trains to Amersfoort and Ede-Wageningen. Residents give the village an 8.5 on Buurtje.nl, based on 7 reviews. New-build neighbourhoods such as Veller and De Burgt attract many young families, while the old centre offers more character with 1930s homes and townhouses. Prices are around the municipal average, but new-build homes regularly sell above the asking price. View the housing supply in Barneveld-dorp for the current situation.
Voorthuizen, village living with its own amenities
Voorthuizen is the second largest centre and feels like an independent village, complete with its own supermarkets, primary schools and a cosy village square. Its location near the A1 makes it popular with commuters to Amersfoort and the Randstad. Residents rate Voorthuizen an 8.6 and particularly appreciate the community spirit. House prices are slightly below those of Barneveld-dorp, making it attractive for families looking for more space for their budget. View homes for sale in Voorthuizen.
Terschuur, the highest-rated neighbourhood
Small but popular: Terschuur scores a 10.0 from residents on Buurtje.nl. It is a compact ribbon village between Barneveld and Amersfoort, with many detached homes and farmhouses. One resident wrote: "Wonderfully quiet, lots of green and yet within ten minutes on the motorway." Supply is limited because there is little turnover, but when something becomes available, it is worth it. Expect higher square metre prices than average due to the spacious plots.
Kootwijkerbroek, affordable and close-knit community
Kootwijkerbroek is a close-knit, Christian village with a strong club life and relatively affordable homes. Residents give it a 7.8 on Buurtje.nl. The village has its own primary schools and a supermarket, but for more extensive amenities you drive to Barneveld-dorp. For buyers looking for space and a strong community at a lower price, the supply in Kootwijkerbroek is worth a look.
There are also a few smaller villages worth considering. Garderen is located in the middle of the Veluwe and is popular with nature lovers, although you have to allow for longer travel times. Stroe and Zwartebroek offer a village alternative with lower entry prices. For a complete overview of all neighbourhoods and their ratings, view the municipality page of Barneveld.
What to look out for when buying a home in Barneveld?
Firstly: the price differences between the villages are large. Buying an apartment in Barneveld-dorp is a very different story from a detached home in Garderen or Kootwijk. So orient yourself widely and compare not only price, but also travel time to work and the availability of schools and shops.
Secondly: the market is tight. With an average purchase price of almost €667,000 and a lot of competition for affordable homes up to €400,000, it is wise to have your financing arranged in advance. A buying agent with local knowledge can make a difference, especially when bidding on popular new-build projects in Veller or De Burgt.
Thirdly: pay attention to accessibility per neighbourhood. The train station in Barneveld-dorp is convenient, but from Garderen or Kootwijk you are dependent on the car. The municipality of Barneveld regularly publishes updates on infrastructure plans and new-build locations.
Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and reviews on Buurtje.nl to look beyond the home itself. The neighbourhood scores for safety (8.8), education (9.0) and community (8.8) are notably high in this municipality, but there are differences per neighbourhood. Considering a more flexible entry? Then also view renting a home in Barneveld as an alternative.

Cosy neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIWe really enjoy living in this apartment. Nice people around us. It doesn't get any better. Lovely walks, beautiful view.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood where we live is a nice neighbourhood, lots of nice green and many little streams, many nice people, very helpful, together good neighbours, always nice things to do such as a flea market and balloon festival and also very safe. I never thought that I would come to live here. Barneveld also accessible by car, train, bus and also many chickens, many chicken farms. We always say chicken drop or TikTok. It would be better if they cleaned up more rubbish.
Auto-translated to English by AII think the neighbourhood consists of separate islands and much more should be done to make it a bit cosier! A neighbourhood barbecue or something! Now nothing happens! There is little nature in our area so that's a bit boring and in our village there is a café, 1 supermarket and some other shops but I would like a square with a terrace for the cosiness of the village
Auto-translated to English by AII have friendly, cosy neighbours and in this neighbourhood there is never any hassle
Auto-translated to English by AIThat student Kay doesn't really get it. A great community to live in, unfortunately that does make houses expensive. Hardworking people who let their hair down every now and then, and the Sunday peace is also a delight. They should do that everywhere. But other than that, I don't want to waste any more words on it; I'd say feel free to come and have a look and experience it for yourself.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is very child-friendly and easily accessible. Car-friendly because only destination traffic comes through. The area is well maintained by the municipality. When you walk around the neighbourhood, everyone is very friendly, with a supermarket nearby and several schools nearby, making it a perfect place for everyone. Barneveld Zuid train station makes it ideal to go in any direction.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery religious, if you look different people aren't very nice to you, plus it often stinks of death because of a feed factory near Noord I think, otherwise nice nature within a short distance and very quiet but there's also nothing to do there.
