Living in De Horsten, Ede
De Horsten is a residential neighbourhood that can be described as solid and green, without pretension. The streets are generally quiet, the buildings largely consist of terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s, and the neighbourhood has a pronounced family character. More than half of households have children, and the largest age group is 25 to 45-year-olds. You notice this in the playgrounds, the bicycles at the front doors and the bustle around school times.
In terms of education, the neighbourhood scores remarkably high: residents give education a 10 out of 10. This reflects the presence of primary schools in the immediate vicinity, which is a concrete advantage for young families. Green spaces (8.0) and beauty (8.5) also score well, which matches the image of a neighbourhood with wide streets, parks and a well-maintained appearance.
Less rosy is the picture in terms of safety, which scores only 6.0. Resident Dave describes it as follows: "living at not too high a price compared to other neighbourhoods in a generally reasonable neighbourhood", but honestly adds that Hogerhorst is regularly used as a circuit for scooters and sometimes cars. For families with young children living on this road, this is a point of attention that you must take seriously. It is the kind of nuance you won't find in a standard property advertisement, but it does determine how you experience the neighbourhood daily. All resident reviews and neighbourhood data can be found on the neighbourhood main page of De Horsten.
Accessibility scores 7.5 and is reasonably good in practice. The neighbourhood falls under the district Ede-Veldhuizen, within cycling distance of the centre of Ede and Ede-Wageningen railway station. That station offers direct connections to Utrecht and Arnhem, making De Horsten also suitable for commuters. By car, the A12 is quickly accessible. Bus connections are available, although the frequency depends on the line.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is functional: supermarkets, a GP practice and daily shopping are within short distance. For a wider range of shops, you go to the centre of Ede.

Who is an owner-occupied home in De Horsten interesting for?

The average income in the neighbourhood is €28,000, lower than the municipal average, which indicates that not necessarily higher incomes live here but people who buy practically. Keep in mind that the realised purchase prices (average over €400,000) are higher than the WOZ values suggest: the market is active and overbidding is not exceptional. Seniors or people looking for apartments to buy in De Horsten is less obvious, given the predominantly ground-bound housing stock.

Unfortunately, like others, we experience that the road we live on is regularly used as a racetrack for scooters and sometimes cars. This causes noise pollution, but also, with a small child living right on this road, it's not always pleasant. Turn the Hogerhorst into one long cycle street with 'Cars as Guests' and add at least 2 more speed bumps. What I also miss are nice trendy coffee bars within walking distance. That would also be fine in the Kernhem district. That would liven up the neighbourhood's amenities. What I find positive are the renovated playgrounds in the area. If you live so far from the city centre, it would be nice if more buses ran per hour. It's really scandalously few.
