Living in De Mheen, Apeldoorn
De Mheen is a quiet, ground-floor residential neighbourhood in the northeast of Apeldoorn, built in the 1960s and 1970s. The streets are wide, there is plenty of greenery between the houses, and the atmosphere is predominantly calm. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features or a lively streetscape, but rather for its everyday, functional character. Residents know each other, especially in the smaller streets, and this gives the neighbourhood a village-like familiarity that you find less quickly in more urban parts of Apeldoorn.
For daily groceries, you can go to the supermarkets along Laan van Malkenschoten or towards the Anklaar shopping centre, within cycling distance. Children in the neighbourhood attend primary schools in the immediate vicinity, although reviews note that traffic congestion around the school is a point of attention. The sub-score for education on the neighbourhood page of De Mheen is notably high: 8.8. Sports clubs and recreational areas are accessible by bike; the Apeldoorn Canal and surrounding green areas are a short distance away.
In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores an 8.0. By car, you can quickly leave the city via the N50 and the connection to the A1 and A50. The centre of Apeldoorn can be reached by bike in about ten to fifteen minutes. Bus connections run via Laan van Malkenschoten towards Apeldoorn station, from where intercity trains depart to Amersfoort, Deventer and Zutphen.
Residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 7.9. That is a solid score, but the reviews also show a nuanced picture. Reviewer Tjm writes: "It is a very safe neighbourhood where people also participate in various neighbourhood apps. You can always turn to people in your neighbourhood and know almost everyone in your area." At the same time, several residents report nuisance due to the placement of large families in homes deemed unsuitable for that purpose, with associated mess in front and back gardens. Contact has been made with the housing corporation, but residents experience little action. The lowest sub-score is beauty (6.8), which aligns with these signals.
Compared to neighbouring communities such as Anklaar or Sprenkelaar, De Mheen is somewhat quieter in character and slightly more affordable in terms of WOZ value. If you are looking for a greener and more spacious neighbourhood within the same district, you could also look at Zevenhuizen. For a broader overview of the supply in the area, the owner-occupied homes in Noordoost are a good starting point.
For whom is a home in De Mheen a good choice?
De Mheen mainly attracts young families and movers. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years, and households with children are the most common household type. The relatively lower WOZ value compared to the rest of Apeldoorn makes buying in De Mheen more accessible, although the average transaction price of over €426,000 shows that the market has also tightened here. Starters will have to look at the lower end of the range. Keep in mind that supply is limited: 26 homes were sold in the past year. If you do not want to buy immediately, the rental properties in De Mheen offer an alternative to get to know the neighbourhood first.

A simple neighbourhood but nowadays everything is being crammed into vacant houses. Families that mess up the front and back gardens. This has been reported several times but the housing association thinks it's fine and doesn't consider the neighbours. A school with a lot of traffic nuisance and dog owners who walk their dogs on a children's playground without cleaning up. There is also dealing on the school grounds in the dark evenings and it takes a while before the police or enforcement arrive.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a very safe neighbourhood where people also participate in various neighbourhood apps. You can always turn to people in your neighbourhood and know almost everyone in your area. It is also a very clean neighbourhood where you find little litter on the street due to enough waste collection points. Only the education is somewhat lacking as there is only one primary school and one secondary school. You don't have to look far for greenery here, as you almost live next to a park. This park has many facilities to keep you entertained. There are also facilities such as a swimming pool and grass fields for sports. Accessibility is also fine, as you can reach this area from almost any part of Apeldoorn. In summary, it is a quiet, pleasant neighbourhood with plenty to do, and the people in the area are very friendly. There are also many amenities such as a shopping centre and a large park with lots of greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur neighbourhood has quite a sense of community, despite the fact that different people live here. It's just a shame that sometimes they place families in houses that would be better off in a flat. They spoil the neighbourhood. The youth are cheeky, so there's nuisance. Contacted the housing association but with little result. They do come to look and then 'shame on you', but nothing further is done. In terms of children, it's also very nice to live near a school. Only some traffic issues with drop-off and pick-up. There's also a grass field for the youth, but it's a shame there's no supervision of dog owners who walk their dogs there. We've lived here for 24 years with pleasure, but these are things that impoverish the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIGreat neighbourhood, park and shops within walking distance. More elderly people than young people, which I sometimes find a bit of a shame.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in the neighbourhood for over 13 years, I find it a nice neighbourhood myself. All people who are friendly, I'm quite proud of that. The cosiness among the neighbourhood and children. It's cosy on our street.
Auto-translated to English by AIA cosy neighbourhood in itself Also with foreign families (Turkish, Moroccan and other foreigners) Every neighbourhood has its bad apples but that shouldn't spoil it here, it remains super nice a school nearby with a playground Only some residents with dogs think it's a dog walking field and don't clean up, that should be better enforced there are too few bins for dog waste after all we pay dog tax (I do) Football club within cycling distance park with fishing water and we all keep an eye on everything except 2 houses Shopping centre within walking distance
