Living in De Heeze, Apeldoorn
De Heeze is a post-war residential neighbourhood in the southwestern part of Apeldoorn, with a character that clearly differs from the greener and more spacious neighbourhoods elsewhere in the district. The buildings largely date from the 1970s and mainly consist of terraced houses and porch flats, interspersed with a few semi-detached houses. The streets are functionally laid out, with little space for greenery or quality of stay. This is also something residents regularly mention in their reviews.
Anyone considering buying a home in De Heeze would do well to take the resident reviews seriously. The neighbourhood scores 2.7 out of 10 based on nine reviews on the neighbourhood page of De Heeze. That is a remarkably low score. Resident Renate Zeilstra writes: "The neighbourhood is unsafe due to a heavy drug addict. And nothing is done about it. People are strange and the amenities could be much better. There is little greenery." Safety scores the lowest of all categories (1.4), followed by sense of community (1.8) and amenities (1.6). Housing and beauty score relatively the best, each at 3.7, but even that is not a high score in absolute terms.
In terms of amenities, De Heeze is poorly provided. There are no large shopping centres directly in the neighbourhood. For daily groceries, residents rely on surrounding neighbourhoods or the centre of Apeldoorn. Primary education is available in the vicinity, but the education score (3.0) indicates that residents are not particularly satisfied with it. Greenery is scarce; there are no notable parks or nature areas directly nearby, although the outskirts of the Veluwe are within cycling distance.
Accessibility by car is reasonable, with connections to the N50 and A1 within a short distance. Public transport, however, is a weak point, which several residents explicitly mention. "Accessible only by car. And no public transport nearby," says one reviewer. Bus connections are limited, but for those without a car, the neighbourhood is less practical.
For comparison: neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Ugchelen and Westenenk generally offer a greener living environment with more space, while De Bouwhof and Brouwersmolen-Noord are closer in character to De Heeze. Those seeking more urban amenities can also look at Centrum or the district West. The entire district Zuidwest has quite large differences in price and liveability among its parts.
Who is a home in De Heeze interesting for?
The lower WOZ value and the average sale price of €413,633 make De Heeze relatively accessible compared to other parts of Apeldoorn. This particularly appeals to first-time buyers and buyers with a limited budget who still want a ground-floor home. The neighbourhood has a relatively high number of single-person households (520) and a large group of over-45s, giving the living environment a quiet but not particularly lively character. Families with young children will experience the limited amenities and low safety score as serious drawbacks. Those who are unsure can also look at rental homes in De Heeze as an alternative to first get to know the neighbourhood. When buying an apartment in De Heeze, be alert to the state of maintenance of older complexes.

I have only had bad experiences with the neighbourhood. And it is very unsafe because of drug addicts. And the municipality does nothing except point fingers at each other. The community is also nothing, we have very little greenery. Only accessible by car. And furthermore no public transport nearby and no shops in the area.
