Buying a house in Heerde: the housing market in 2026
Heerde is a municipality on the Veluwe in Gelderland consisting of two village centres: Heerde and Wapenveld. With over 19,200 residents, it is a compact, green municipality where the village character is still strongly present. The location is a major plus: you are between Zwolle and Apeldoorn, with the A50 just a few minutes' drive away. Many residents work in one of those two cities but appreciate the peace and space that Heerde offers as a home base. The local economy is partly driven by the agricultural sector, but also by SMEs and the proximity of larger employers in the region.
The housing market in Heerde is predominantly owner-occupied: 69% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, compared to 31% rental. The average WOZ value is €405,000. In the past twelve months, 35 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €669,600, with a range from €318,000 to €1,350,000. This shows that both affordable options and larger homes come onto the market. At the top of this page you will find the current listings with current asking prices and selling times. Buurtje.nl bundles this supply from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you can assess not only the home but also the neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Heerde
The municipality of Heerde has two main centres, each with its own character. Although it is a small municipality, you notice clear differences in atmosphere, housing supply and price level between the villages and their neighbourhoods. Below is an overview of the main areas.
Heerde village, village living on the Veluwe
The centre of Heerde is the largest village in the municipality and has a compact centre with shops along the Dorpsstraat, a supermarket, catering establishments and practical facilities such as GP practices and a library. The village has a strong sense of community: dozens of associations are active and events such as the annual Heerder Markt bring the whole village together. Residents give the village a 7.8 on Buurtje.nl. Heerde scores particularly high on safety (9.0) and the green environment (8.3). One resident writes: "The combination of peace, nature and yet close to the city makes it nice to live here." House prices here are slightly above the municipal average, especially for detached homes on the edge of the village towards the woods. First-time buyers sometimes find a terraced house or apartment in the centre. View the housing supply in Heerde village for current options.
Wapenveld, affordable and community-oriented
Wapenveld lies south of Heerde and, with around 6,000 residents, is the second village in the municipality. It has its own character: slightly smaller, slightly cosier, with an active club life around the sports parks and the village church. Facilities are more limited than in Heerde village; there is a small supermarket and a handful of shops, but for larger groceries you drive to Heerde or Epe. Residents rate Wapenveld a 7.8 and cite safety and the green character as strong points. House prices are generally slightly lower than in Heerde village, making Wapenveld interesting for families and movers looking for more space for their budget. There are relatively many semi-detached and detached houses. Discover the available homes in Wapenveld.
Rural area, space between forest and meadow
Between and around the two village centres lies the extensive rural area of Heerde. Here you will find detached homes, former farms and farmhouses on spacious plots. This segment attracts buyers who consciously choose peace and privacy, and partly explains the high end of the price range up to €1,350,000. The rural area scores high on greenness and beauty, but facilities and public transport are limited. A car is essential here.
Those who want to know more about the liveability per area can visit the municipal page of Heerde, where you will find all ratings and reviews from residents. The difference in facilities between the two centres is relevant: those who value shops and schools within walking distance will choose Heerde village sooner. Those who want more square metres for a lower price will look towards Wapenveld or the rural area.
What to look out for when buying a home in Heerde?
A first tip: look carefully at the differences between the two village centres. Heerde village offers more facilities, but prices are also higher. In Wapenveld you get more living space for your money, but you are dependent on the car for many things. Consider what suits your daily life.
Secondly: the market in Heerde is relatively tight. With 35 sales in a year and an average price of almost €670,000, supply is limited and competition is fierce, especially for popular terraced and semi-detached houses. Be prepared for overbidding and make sure your financing is in order before you go viewing.
Furthermore, accessibility by public transport is a point of attention. Heerde has a train station on the Zwolle-Amersfoort line, which is a big advantage. But from Wapenveld you are dependent on the bus or your own transport. Check whether the travel time to your work is acceptable, especially if you do not work in Zwolle or Apeldoorn.
Finally: use neighbourhood data to make an informed choice. On Buurtje.nl you can compare scores per neighbourhood on safety, facilities and green space. This gives you insight that you do not immediately see during a viewing. Are you also considering renting a home in Heerde? Then that is an alternative to get to know the municipality first before buying.
What residents say about living in Heerde
Residents rate the municipality of Heerde a 7.8 out of 10 based on 6 reviews. The highest scores go to safety (9.0) and the beauty of the surroundings (8.7). That is not surprising: the Veluwe literally starts at the edge of the village. Facilities score the lowest at 6.0, which is honestly fair. For extensive shopping or nightlife you have to go to Zwolle or Apeldoorn. A resident of Wapenveld sums it up: "Quiet, safe and green, but for more action you have to take the car."

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in this little village my whole life, there aren't many things available here but it's enough. There are many elderly people and not many young people.
Auto-translated to English by AIFriendly neighbours
Auto-translated to English by AIFine, because people simply talk to each other, small conflicts are quickly resolved and we take each other into account. And it's beautiful and clean here. The education, on the other hand, is well below average and a pupil from this area can therefore keep up less well in secondary school.
