Homes for sale in Buitengebied Harderwijk, Harderwijk

House prices in Buitengebied Harderwijk: spacious WOZ value, large price differences

Buitengebied Harderwijk is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: 84% of the approximately 365 homes are owner-occupied, compared to only 16% rented. The average WOZ value is €520,000, which is significantly higher than the municipal average of €382,000 for Harderwijk.

Over the past twelve months, 30 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €317,405. The range is remarkably wide: from €109,500 to €1,495,000. This says a lot about the diversity of the supply, from a smaller home on an agricultural plot to a detached mansion with substantial land. See the current supply and the average asking price at the top of this page for the most recent status.

Anyone considering buying an apartment in Buitengebied Harderwijk is in for a disappointment: the supply consists almost exclusively of ground-based homes. Detached houses and farmhouses dominate, sometimes with outbuildings or agricultural land. This makes this area less suitable for first-time buyers looking for a compact home, but all the more interesting for those seeking space, peace and outdoor living. If you compare this with owner-occupied homes in Harderwijk as a whole, Buitengebied clearly offers more space per home, but also less freedom of choice in home type.

Living in Buitengebied Harderwijk: green, quiet and far from the urban hustle and bustle

Living in Buitengebied Harderwijk means choosing space and silence. The neighbourhood has about 1,010 residents spread over a large area, with the largest group being those aged 65 and over (380 people). That is no coincidence: people who live here have consciously chosen an environment without heavy traffic, without apartment blocks and without shopping crowds on their doorstep. On the neighbourhood page of Buitengebied Harderwijk you will find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents particularly appreciate the peace and nature around the corner. A recurring theme in the reviews is the combination of privacy and yet relatively short distance to the city: "You really live outside, but Harderwijk city centre is a ten-minute bike ride away." A point of criticism that several residents mention is the limited walking distance to daily amenities: a supermarket or GP is not around the corner.

For daily shopping and amenities, you rely on the centre of Harderwijk. The city centre, the Binnenstad, offers a full range of shops including several supermarkets, schools and medical facilities. Children from Buitengebied generally attend primary schools in the adjacent neighbourhoods or in the city itself. Sports clubs, such as football clubs and tennis clubs, can also be found in the centre of Harderwijk. Those looking for more urban vibrancy can also go to the Zeebuurt or the Waterfront, which is directly on the Veluwemeer. Sub-areas such as Harderwijkerbos and Strokel also fall under Buitengebied and each have their own atmosphere, from wooded plots to open agricultural landscape.

In terms of accessibility, Buitengebied is reasonably well connected for a rural area. Harderwijk station is a few kilometres away and offers direct connections to Amersfoort, Utrecht and Zwolle. By car, you can quickly reach the motorway via the A28. Public transport within Buitengebied itself is limited: bus services do not run through all corners, so a car or bicycle is practically indispensable. The proximity of the Veluwe makes this area attractive for walkers and cyclists, with extensive forest paths accessible directly from the back garden. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Harderwijk.
