Homes for sale in Bloemenbuurt-West, Amersfoort

House prices and market figures for Bloemenbuurt-West, Amersfoort

The owner-occupied market in Bloemenbuurt-West is relatively limited in size. Of the 817 homes in the neighbourhood, 39% are owner-occupied, the rest are rental properties, a large proportion of which are owned by housing corporations. This makes supply scarce for buyers, and this is reflected in the prices. In the past twelve months, 14 homes were sold, with an average sale price of €566,857. The price range ran from €450,000 to €700,000, with an average living area of 107 m². This works out at a price per m² of approximately €5,300, which is high for a neighbourhood with a WOZ value of €356,000.

That WOZ value is, incidentally, lower than the average for the district Soesterkwartier (€363,000) and significantly lower than the Amersfoort average of €432,000. This difference is partly due to the high rental stock and corporation ownership, which depresses the average WOZ value. However, the actual sale prices of owner-occupied homes are considerably higher.

Living in Bloemenbuurt-West, Amersfoort

Bloemenbuurt-West is a 1930s neighbourhood with character. The streets are wide, the trees old and tall, and the buildings largely consist of terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the period 1930-1940. This combination gives the neighbourhood a rustic, almost nostalgic appearance that you won't find in new-build areas. Resident S. Weber describes it aptly: "Beautiful old trees, green neighbourhood, 1930s houses, good atmosphere, friendly, warm-hearted people from different backgrounds. Harmony and everyone is there for each other." That sense of community spirit is something that comes up repeatedly in resident reviews.

The location is a major plus point. Bloemenbuurt-West falls under the Soesterkwartier district and is within cycling distance of Amersfoort city centre and Central Station. By bike, you can reach the city centre in about ten minutes. Several bus routes run through or past the neighbourhood, and the connection to the A28 towards Utrecht and Zwolle is quickly accessible via the Utrechtseweg. For daily shopping, you can go to supermarkets in the immediate vicinity, including towards Soesterplein or along the Utrechtseweg. Primary schools are within walking distance, although education scores slightly lower in resident ratings with a 6.5, indicating that parents are more critical here.

The greenery in the neighbourhood is a clear asset. The wide streets with mature trees give Bloemenbuurt-West a leafy character, and the nearby Soesterpark also offers space for exercise. Resident Suus writes succinctly: "Green, beautiful trees, centrally located. Nice, safe neighbourhood." Safety scores the highest of all subcategories: an 8.5. That is remarkably positive for an urban neighbourhood.

The neighbourhood has a mixed population. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, but there are also many seniors and families. The percentage of single-person households is high (290 of the approximately 817 homes), which fits the urban character. The average income in Bloemenbuurt-West is €31,200, clearly below the Amersfoort average of €41,400. This reflects the social rental component in the neighbourhood, not necessarily the buyers active here.

For comparison: the adjacent Bloemenbuurt-Oost has a similar character but a slightly different housing mix. The nearby Bomenbuurt is also popular with buyers who love the same architectural style and greenery. If you want a broader picture of Soesterkwartier as a whole, including neighbourhoods like Rivierenbuurt-West and Puntenburg, you'll find more supply and sometimes different price levels.

Is an owner-occupied home in Bloemenbuurt-West right for you?
