Living in De Kromme Akker, Barneveld
De Kromme Akker is a quiet, predominantly green residential neighbourhood on the edge of Voorthuizen, a village known to many for its village character and good location between Amersfoort and Apeldoorn. The neighbourhood is modest in scale: with 765 residents and 274 homes, it is not an anonymous district. Streets are spacious, gardens are generally large, and traffic does not pass through. This gives a sense of peace that you rarely find in larger urban districts.
The housing stock consists mainly of ground-floor owner-occupied homes, with a mix of detached houses and semi-detached homes. Some of the buildings date from the 1980s and 1990s, with occasional newer infill. Buying an apartment in De Kromme Akker is virtually not an option: the neighbourhood was built for families and movers seeking space.
For daily shopping, you can go to the centre of Voorthuizen, within cycling distance. There you will find a supermarket, a number of local shops and primary schools. Sports clubs such as football and tennis clubs are present in and around Voorthuizen, and for larger shopping centres or secondary schools, Barneveld is accessible via the N303. In terms of public transport, the neighbourhood is poorly served: buses run towards Barneveld and Amersfoort, but for frequent travel, a car is almost indispensable. The nearest train station is Barneveld Noord, about ten minutes away by car. Via the A1 and the N303, you are quickly on the motorway, which makes the location attractive for commuters to the Randstad or towards Apeldoorn.

One resident writes: "It's nice that it's so quiet here, the children just play on the street and everyone knows each other a bit." That feeling of social cohesion in a small-scale environment comes back in several reviews. Some residents are less satisfied with public transport and the limited entertainment options: for a night out, you really have to take the car.
