Living in Brinkhorst, Apeldoorn

Brinkhorst is a quiet, green neighbourhood in the west of Apeldoorn, nestled between the Apeldoorns Kanaal and the wooded area towards Berg en Bos. Its character is predominantly residential: wide streets, plenty of greenery in the gardens, and a mix of detached houses, semi-detached houses, and larger terraced houses. A large part of the housing stock dates from the 1950s to 1970s, which translates into solid construction with sometimes dated finishes. Those who buy typically expect a renovation or refurbishment.

The neighbourhood has a mature, stable population. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and the share of over-65s (715 residents) is also notably high. This translates into a quiet, tidy living environment. Nuisance is not a commonly mentioned issue here. At the same time, the relatively low influx of young families means the neighbourhood is not buzzing with street activity.

For daily shopping, you can quickly drive or cycle to the Albert Heijn or Jumbo on Laan van Spitsbergen or towards shopping centre Anklaar, a short distance from the neighbourhood. There are a few smaller amenities within the neighbourhood itself, but for a full range of shops you rely on the surrounding areas. Primary schools such as those along Asselsestraat serve the area, and for secondary education there are several options in the wider Apeldoorn-West area.

In terms of accessibility, Brinkhorst scores reasonably. By car, via Laan van Spitsbergen and Amersfoortseweg, you are quickly on the A1 or A50. The centre of Apeldoorn is reachable by bike in about ten minutes. Bus connections run along the main arteries of the district, but those without a car will notice that the neighbourhood is somewhat more car-oriented than neighbourhoods closer to the centre. Apeldoorn station is about three kilometres away.

Residents particularly appreciate Brinkhorst for its peace and space. On the Brinkhorst neighbourhood main page you can find resident reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "It's wonderfully quiet here, you have space around you and the neighbours know each other. Not exciting, but that's exactly what I was looking for." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited walking distance to amenities and traffic congestion on the through roads during rush hour.

Comparing Brinkhorst with neighbourhoods such as Berg en Bos or Sprengenbos, it is noticeable that those neighbourhoods have a higher WOZ value and a somewhat more exclusive character. Orden and Sprengenweg-Noord are more compact and have a different type of housing. Brinkhorst sits in between: not the most expensive neighbourhood in the district, but not the cheapest either.

Is a home for sale in Brinkhorst right for you?

Brinkhorst mainly attracts movers and people aged 40 plus who are looking for peace and space without living too far out of the city. The price range from €240,000 to €925,000 theoretically makes it accessible for first-time buyers too, but with an average purchase price of over €519,000, the entry point is not low in practice. Overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. Those considering buying an apartment in Brinkhorst have less choice than in neighbourhoods closer to the centre. The supply mainly consists of ground-level homes. If buying is not feasible for now, also check out the rental homes in Brinkhorst as an alternative.
