Living in Epe: Veluwe village with village charm and rough edges
Epe is one of those Veluwe places where you quickly feel that life is a bit slower. The Hoofdstraat forms the heart of the village, with a mix of small specialist shops, an Albert Heijn, a Jumbo and hospitality venues. On Saturdays there is a lively weekly market. Residents on the Epe neighbourhood page give the village an average of 7.6. Notable are the high scores for safety (9.5) and cleanliness (9.5). Resident Pauline rated Epe an 8.1, and that feeling of safety and tidiness is recognisable as you walk through the streets. At the same time, community spirit scores a meagre 4.5: that is an honest point of attention. Epe is not a village where you automatically end up in a close social network; you have to make an effort yourself.
In terms of facilities, Epe has several primary schools, including De Burcht and De Dennenhof, and secondary school Staring College. For sports, you can go to football club SV Epe, tennis club De Bosrand and swimming pool De Koekoek. The Veluwe forest literally begins at the edge of the village, although residents do not find the amount of green space within the built-up area (score 7.0) particularly overwhelming. The neighbourhoods around the centre are the most lively, while in the rural area towards the east you really live in the countryside.
Accessibility scores an 8.0 among residents, and that is about right. Epe station is on the Amersfoort-Zwolle line, from which you can be in Zwolle in just over half an hour and in Amersfoort in about 50 minutes. By car, you are quickly in Apeldoorn via the A50 (about 20 minutes). Bus lines connect Epe with Vaassen, Heerde and Apeldoorn. If you compare Epe with nearby places like Vaassen or Emst, Epe offers more facilities, while Oene is even more rural. The municipality of Epe provides information on zoning plans and building permits on its website, handy if you have renovation plans.
For which buyers is Epe a good choice?
With the largest age group over 65 and many households without children, Epe mainly attracts downsizers and seniors seeking peace and quiet. But families also find excellent schools and sports clubs here. First-time buyers need to be realistic: buying a house in Epe under €300,000 is possible but rare, and overbidding occurs for sought-after homes in neighbourhoods like Hogeland or Klaarbeek. In addition to the purchase price, budget around 5-6% additional costs for transfer tax, notary and valuation. If you find the purchase prices too high, you can also look at rental homes in Epe as an alternative. The rental supply is more limited, but with 36% rental homes, there are certainly possibilities.
