House prices in Doornspijk: well above the municipal average
Doornspijk is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: 76% of the housing stock consists of owner-occupied homes, compared to just 24% rental. This is also reflected in the WOZ values.

Apartments are scarce; the supply mainly consists of single-family homes and detached houses. View the current supply and the average asking price at the top of this page.
Anyone looking for a home to buy in Doornspijk must take into account a market where supply is limited and homes do not stay on the market for long. For comparison, in the village of Elburg and 't Harde, the character of the supply is different, with more village-style buildings and a different price range. In Doornspijk, the green, rural location largely determines the value of a home.
Living in Doornspijk: space, nature and a community you know
Doornspijk is not a neighbourhood where you live anonymously. That is perhaps the most striking summary of what residents repeatedly mention. On the neighbourhood page of Doornspijk, there is a resident score of 8.3 out of 10, based on reviews from people who actually live there. Loïs, who has lived there for three years, describes it as follows: her place is beautifully surrounded by forest, but not too remote, and people almost never walk by without a greeting or a smile. Sjaak confirms that picture: everyone is there for you, and in the countryside it is always pleasant to be. JW particularly appreciates the peace and space: little trouble from neighbours, nice to be on your own. That combination of community spirit and personal space is striking and not a given.
The sub-scores show where Doornspijk excels and where it scores slightly lower. Green and beauty both score 9.3, safety 9.0 and community spirit 8.7. Amenities score lower, at 6.7, and that matches reality. Doornspijk has a primary school, a community centre and a number of sports clubs, but for a supermarket, GP or more extensive shopping options, you drive to Elburg or 't Harde. The municipality of Elburg offers more information about local amenities and services via the website of the municipality of Elburg. Accessibility scores 7.3: Doornspijk is located on the N309 and has a good connection to the A28 towards Zwolle and Amersfoort. A car of your own is not a luxury here but a necessity; public transport is limited. The nearest train station is Nunspeet or Harderwijk, both about ten to fifteen minutes' drive away.
The rural area around Doornspijk is divided into two areas. Buitengebied Doornspijk Oost and Buitengebied Doornspijk West offer even more space and rural character, with larger plots and sometimes agricultural buildings. Hoge Enk is another neighbourhood within the municipality that represents a different living environment. Living in Doornspijk means choosing peace, nature and a community on a human scale, with the conscious trade-off that you take the car for many daily needs.
Which buyers are a good match for Doornspijk?
Doornspijk mainly attracts families and movers who are looking for space and peace and are willing to pay for it. With an average sale price of €518,000, a home here is not within reach for first-time buyers, unless an entry-level property becomes available at the lower end of the range. In addition to the purchase price, take into account transfer tax (2% for owner-occupiers), notary costs and possible renovation costs for older homes. Supply is limited, so anyone serious about buying would do well to set up alerts. If buying is not feasible now, take a look at the rental homes in Doornspijk as an interim solution. Buying an apartment in Doornspijk is virtually not an option; the market here revolves around ground-based homes.

Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for about 3 years now and it's very much to my liking. Our place where we live is beautifully surrounded by the forest, but not too remote. That's nice. The people who also live here almost never walk past you without a greeting or a smile. That gives a good feeling.
