Living in Berg en Bos, Apeldoorn

Berg en Bos is not an ordinary residential area. It is a wooded, green neighbourhood on the west side of Apeldoorn where houses are widely spaced, often on large plots along winding lanes. The architecture ranges from stately villas from the interwar period to more modern detached homes from the 1970s and 1980s. Apartments are rare here. The atmosphere is quiet, almost rural, while the centre of Apeldoorn is less than a ten-minute bike ride away.

What makes this neighbourhood special is its direct proximity to the park of the same name. Apenheul is literally around the corner, and the vast forest area of the Veluwe begins at the edge of the neighbourhood. Resident Sofie, who recently moved to Berg en Bos, sums it up succinctly: "Great neighbourhood, recently moved here. Primary and secondary school in the area, large spacious neighbourhood, clean and tidy, Apenheul and park in the neighbourhood. Close to everything, absolutely great." The resident score of 7.9 out of 10 confirms this picture, with a perfect 10 for green spaces and education.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood itself is fairly quiet. There is no supermarket in the immediate vicinity; for that you drive or cycle to the shopping area around Asselsestraat or the centre. Schools are certainly present: De Parkschool primary school and the Koninklijk Instituut Visio are in the neighbourhood, and the Koninklijke Scholengemeenschap (KSG) for secondary education is within cycling distance. Sports club AGOVV and Klarenbeek tennis park are nearby for those who want to be active.

Accessibility is reasonable. By car, you can quickly reach the A1 towards Amersfoort or Deventer via the Amersfoortseweg. Apeldoorn station is about five minutes by car or a quarter of an hour by bike. Bus routes run along J.C. Wilslaan and Soerenseweg towards the centre and station. Nevertheless, residents rate accessibility and amenities at 7.0 and 6.0, indicating that you really need a car for daily shopping.

The neighbourhood mainly attracts older, affluent households. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (695 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (640). The average income of €62,400 is well above the Apeldoorn average, and 62% of residents are highly educated. Households without children form the largest group, and 53% are married. It is an established neighbourhood where people tend to stay for a long time.
