Living in Driehuizen: a green residential neighbourhood on the west side of Apeldoorn

Driehuizen is located on the west side of Apeldoorn, nestled between the Zutphensestraat to the south and the forested edges of the Veluwe to the west. It is a neighbourhood with a predominantly quiet, green character. The housing stock mainly consists of terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s, interspersed with newer projects and a number of detached homes on larger plots towards the forest edge. The streets are wide, there is plenty of public greenery, and you notice that many residents have lived in the neighbourhood for a long time. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (1,380 residents), but with 640 children under 15 and over 1,000 residents aged 65 and over, the composition is quite mixed.

In terms of amenities, Driehuizen is practically laid out. On the Zutphensestraat you will find a number of shops for daily groceries, including a supermarket. For a larger range of shops, you can drive to the centre of Apeldoorn in five minutes or to shopping centre De Eglantier in the adjacent neighbourhood Orden. There are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity and the Orderbos sports park offers space for football, tennis and other sports. The Veluwe literally starts around the corner: via the Ordersprengpad or the Sprengenbos you can walk or cycle into the forest within a few minutes. This is something residents consistently mention as a major plus point.

Accessibility is reasonable. Apeldoorn station is about a ten-minute bike ride away and offers direct trains to Amersfoort, Deventer and Zwolle. Bus routes along the Zutphensestraat connect the neighbourhood with the centre and the rest of the city. By car, you can quickly reach the A1 via the Laan van Westenenk. However, it can be busy on the Zutphensestraat towards the centre during rush hour.

Residents of Driehuizen particularly appreciate the combination of tranquillity and proximity to nature. "The location near the forest is fantastic, you can step straight onto the Veluwe," writes a resident on the residents' page of Driehuizen. At the same time, there is also criticism: the range of shops in the neighbourhood itself is limited and some parts of the neighbourhood look a bit dated. Compared to neighbouring areas such as Sprengenbos and Berg en Bos, Driehuizen is somewhat more accessible in terms of price level, while you get a similar green living environment. Those looking for the hustle and bustle of the city are better off in the Centrum district.

Is a home for sale in Driehuizen right for you?

Driehuizen mainly attracts movers and families looking for space and greenery without being far from the city.

For first-time buyers, entry at the lower end (around €240,000) is feasible, but supply in that segment is limited. Keep in mind that popular homes sell quickly and overbidding is common.
