Living in Buurt 4, Zeewolde

Buurt 4 is one of the newer residential areas of Zeewolde, built from the late 1990s through the 2010s. The streetscape is spacious, with wide pavements, plenty of greenery and playgrounds scattered throughout the neighbourhood. The architecture is varied: you will find modern semi-detached houses, linked homes and, on the edges, detached houses with large plots. It is not a neighbourhood with a historic character, but one that is functionally and comfortably designed for families.

And families are plentiful. With 1,000 households with children, they form the largest group. The 25-45 age category is by far the largest with 1,890 residents, which is reflected in daily life: busy playgrounds after school, cargo bikes in the streets and a lively school community. Primary schools, such as those on the edge of the neighbourhood, are within walking distance. For secondary education, children must go to Harderwijk or Lelystad, which is easily accessible by bus or car.

In terms of amenities, Buurt 4 depends on the centre of Zeewolde, which is within cycling distance. There you will find supermarkets (Albert Heijn, Jumbo), the weekly market, GPs and the shopping area around Kerkplein. In the neighbourhood itself it is quiet on that front, although there are sports facilities nearby, including football club SV Zeewolde and the De Horst swimming pool. The Horsterwold, one of the largest deciduous forests in the Netherlands, is a stone's throw away and is popular with runners, mountain bikers and walkers.

Accessibility is a point to be honest about. Zeewolde does not have a train station. You are dependent on bus lines towards Harderwijk (line 145) and Lelystad, or on the car via the N302 and N305. The travel time to Amersfoort is about 35-40 minutes by car, to Amsterdam about an hour. Anyone who commutes to the Randstad daily must take that into account.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space. "Lovely quiet living with lots of greenery around you, children can play safely outside here," is a frequently heard sentiment in the reviews on the Buurt 4 neighbourhood page. What scores less well is the range of amenities in the immediate vicinity and the dependence on the car. Compared to the Eerste woonwijk or the Tweede woonwijk, Buurt 4 is newer and more spacious, but also slightly further from the village centre. If you want to be closer to the centre, you would be better off looking at those neighbourhoods. For those who specifically want space and modern homes, Buurt 4 is a logical choice. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Zeewolde.

Who is a home in Buurt 4 interesting for?

The figures speak clearly: this is a neighbourhood for young families and movers. With an average purchase price of over €572,000, buying a home in Buurt 4 is not for first-time buyers with a modest budget, although the lower end of the market around €285,000 sometimes offers opportunities for buying an apartment in Buurt 4. Dual-income earners with a joint income above average are the typical buyers here. The average household income of €42,100 and a labour participation rate of 75% confirm that picture.

Seniors looking to downsize will find less supply here, because the majority are single-family homes. If you want to search more flexibly, you can also look at rental homes in Buurt 4 or compare the supply in Zuidlob. Keep in mind that popular homes here sell quickly and that overbidding is not uncommon in the current market.
