The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Ede
The municipality of Ede has more than fifteen neighbourhoods and village centres, each with its own character. From the lively centre to the quiet villages on the Veluwe: the differences are significant. Below is an overview of the most notable neighbourhoods for buyers.
Ede-West, the beating heart of the municipality
Ede-West is the neighbourhood around the centre and Ede-Wageningen station. Here you'll find most amenities: shops, restaurants, the Cultura theatre and good schools. The neighbourhood attracts a mix of first-time buyers, young couples and movers who appreciate the combination of accessibility and facilities. Residents give Ede-West a score of 8.1 based on 9 reviews. One resident writes: "The combination of the station within walking distance and the Veluwe around the corner makes it really pleasant to live here." Prices here are around or slightly above the municipal average, especially for apartments close to the station. Check the supply in Ede-West for the current situation.
Bennekom, village living with everything at hand
Bennekom is a large village south of Ede centre that is popular with families and older people. It has a complete shopping centre, several primary schools, sports clubs and direct access to the Bennekomse Bos. The atmosphere is village-like but not remote. Residents rate Bennekom 7.7 out of 5 reviews. House prices are on average slightly higher than in Ede centre, partly due to the large share of detached and semi-detached homes. Those looking for a home here can visit the Bennekom page.
Lunteren, village life on the Veluwe
Lunteren lies in the north of the municipality and exudes a true village atmosphere. With a neighbourhood score of 9.9 (based on 1 review), it scores remarkably high, although this is based on a limited number of reviews. The village has its own shops, schools and an active club life. Lunteren is especially popular with families looking for space and who don't mind taking the car for work or going out. Prices per square metre here are generally lower than in Ede centre, offering more living space for the same budget. Check homes for sale in Lunteren.
Kernhem, new-build on the edge of the forest
Kernhem is the large new-build neighbourhood on the west side of Ede, built from the early 2000s and still under development. The neighbourhood is designed with plenty of greenery, wide avenues and modern architecture. It mainly attracts young families and movers who want an energy-efficient home with the Veluwe literally in their back garden. There are new schools and a neighbourhood shopping centre. Because it is new-build, asking prices are often above the municipal average. Check the housing supply in Kernhem.
Rietkampen, affordable and well-connected
Rietkampen is a post-war neighbourhood northeast of the centre. The neighbourhood has a somewhat more down-to-earth appearance than Kernhem or Bennekom, but offers good value for money. With a neighbourhood score of 8.0 from 6 reviews, residents particularly appreciate the accessibility and the greenery in the area. For first-time buyers and those looking for a home below the average of €537,578, Rietkampen is worth exploring. Discover what is for sale in Rietkampen.
In addition, there are other interesting options outside these five neighbourhoods. Ede-Oost scores 8.2 with residents and offers a mix of older and renovated homes.

All neighbourhood scores and reviews can be found on the municipality page of Ede.
What to look out for when buying a home in Ede?
Firstly: look beyond just Ede centre. Neighbourhoods like Rietkampen and villages like Ederveen often offer more square metres for a lower price. The price differences within the municipality are large, from over a hundred thousand to nearly 2.5 million euros. If you are flexible on location, you can save significantly.
Secondly: take the tight market into account. Homes in sought-after neighbourhoods like Ede-West and Kernhem sell quickly, and overbidding is not uncommon. Make sure your financing is arranged in advance and engage a local buying agent who knows the dynamics.
Thirdly: accessibility varies greatly per neighbourhood. If you live near Ede-Wageningen station, you can be in Utrecht in 40 minutes. From Lunteren or Harskamp you are more dependent on the car. Also check the website of the municipality of Ede for current plans regarding infrastructure and housing construction.
Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and resident reviews on Buurtje.nl to compare neighbourhoods on points such as safety, greenery and amenities. This gives you a more complete picture than just the asking price. And if you prefer flexibility, also check the rental homes in Ede as an alternative.

Both the city centre and nature such as the heath and the forest are within walking distance (approx. 5 min walk) and easily accessible. I have also never felt unsafe in this neighbourhood. The studio where I live is privately owned and has just been renovated (2 years old), I don't know the rest of the houses in the area. There are mainly terraced houses and flats in the neighbourhood, a few detached houses. The only real downside I find is the hygiene, around the flats there is often a lot of rubbish consisting of bulky waste and food scraps.

Auto-translated to English by AIPositive: - Friendly people - Lots of nature - Quiet Negative: - People drive fast - Few streetlights
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is quiet and civilised
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, safe and cosy neighbourhood. I gave hygiene a slightly lower score because there is a sewer manhole next to my house; I would have preferred it next to the green strip due to odour nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AIokay!
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is very beautiful and enjoyable.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood, plenty of choice in schools, you can walk to patches of nature, and enough playgrounds for the children. Also, all necessary amenities are nearby, which is great since I don't have a driver's license. I just miss trees on our street. It was quite dull and grey, and our houses get very hot in summer. Moreover, especially in Ede, preserving nature is a must. I also noticed that most streets here do have trees, except for the Edendreef.
