Living in Ermelo - West, Ermelo
Ermelo - West is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the west side of the village, with a predominantly family-oriented population. The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds, but young families are also well represented: nearly 1,000 households have children, and 46% of residents are married. That translates into a neighbourhood where life runs at a familiar pace, with children on bikes, dogs on leads, and neighbours who know each other.
The housing stock largely consists of single-family homes from the 1970s and 1980s, interspersed with newer developments. Terraced houses and semi-detached homes dominate the streetscape, although detached homes are also present, as the higher selling prices in the range show. The gardens are generally spacious, and greenery is not scarce in this neighbourhood. Residents therefore give greenery the highest sub-score: a 9.5 out of 10. That is no coincidence: the proximity of the Veluwe is palpable, and within the neighbourhood itself there are parks and green spaces where you can unwind.
For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Shops for daily necessities are within cycling distance, and the centre of Ermelo with its wider range of shops is quickly accessible. Resident Jamie writes: "There are several schools in the neighbourhood, primary and secondary education. Shops are also nearby." That matches the high education score of 8.5: there are several primary and secondary schools in or directly adjacent to the neighbourhood, which is a concrete advantage for families.
In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores a 7.2. Ermelo has its own train station on the Amersfoort-Zwolle line, with which you can be in Amersfoort in about 25 minutes. By car, the A28 is the main connection, accessible via the N303. Bus services run towards the centre and surrounding towns. For daily commuting, the location is functional, although Ermelo is not a large city and the car remains the most practical means of transport for many residents.
The overall resident rating stands at 7.8 out of 10, based on reviews on the neighbourhood page of Ermelo - West. Resident Jeroen describes it succinctly: "Nice and quiet." That is perhaps the essence of what this neighbourhood offers. At the same time, Ilias indicates that social cohesion is not equally strong everywhere: "We just don't all fit in the same boat." It is an honest nuance: the neighbourhood is friendly, but not a village-within-a-village where everyone knows each other for coffee. Beauty scores the lowest with a 6.8, which fits a functional post-war residential area without architectural highlights.
Compared to sister neighbourhoods, Ermelo - West has its own character. Ermelo - Noord and Ermelo - Oost partly have a similar profile, but West distinguishes itself by the direct proximity of greenery and the somewhat lower WOZ values compared to the owner-occupied homes in the Schil rondom het centrum, where prices are on average higher. Those looking for more space and nature outside the built-up area can also look at Buitengebied west.
For whom is a home in Ermelo - West a good choice?
Ermelo - West is most suitable for families with children, movers seeking space and tranquillity, and those aged 45 and over who enjoy living in a green and orderly residential environment. First-time buyers can theoretically find a place here, but the average selling price of over €513,000 makes buying a home in Ermelo - West difficult without existing equity or personal funds.

The neighbourhood is cosy. Everyone gets along with each other and knows each other. In the neighbourhood we have a cosy playground. Unfortunately, there are few play options for children. There are several schools in the neighbourhood, primary and secondary education. There are also shops in the neighbourhood, most within walking distance. The centre is easily accessible for everyone. As for the centre, I think there should be more enforcement by the community wardens.
Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I've lived here my whole life, my parents have lived here for 40 years if I'm not mistaken. And we only have a really good connection with 2 neighbours, that's it, that's what I mean by not all fitting in the same boat. Although we are always friendly and hospitable, there is a lot of gossip behind your back. The neighbourhood itself is fine in terms of living conditions. It's cold, but well, we'll just have to deal with it. Everything is close to shops etc., so that's good. I grew up well here, so nothing to complain about. Hygiene could be a bit better because the streets don't look great, but that's up to the municipality. They could do something about the pavements because there's a lot of moss between them, which can cause bacteria, and that's not good for the air, and the roads aren't that great either. Safety here isn't good either; in the past, very little happened, but over the years, much more crime has emerged. I notice it, and so do the neighbourhood residents, and they think that because there's only a police station in Harderwijk, it takes far too long for them to come. As I said, shops are close by, plenty of supermarkets, so facilities are excellent. Accessibility is also nothing to complain about; it's fine, I don't know how to explain it. And education and green spaces are absolutely fine; we have about 7 primary schools in our village of 29,900 people, I think, and a good secondary school that provides good support and helps you on your way. We are known for green spaces; if you want to enjoy greenery and beautiful fresh nature, come to Ermelo, where you can walk your dog on the heath and then stroll through the lovely green forest with birds whistling to you. Please, this is my experience.

Auto-translated to English by AII think Ermelo-West is a nice neighbourhood with many playgrounds for children, lots of greenery and good asphalt roads. The only downside is that there is sometimes a shortage of parking spaces and the street is completely full of cars.
