House prices and market figures for Het Loo, Apeldoorn

The average WOZ value is €483,000, which is significantly higher than the average in the district Noord (€426,000) and well above the municipal average of €378,000 for owner-occupied homes in Apeldoorn.

Living in Het Loo, Apeldoorn
Het Loo is a quiet, green neighbourhood on the north side of Apeldoorn, directly adjacent to the Royal Park and Paleis Het Loo. That is no minor detail: the proximity of this historic estate largely determines the character of the district. Wide avenues, mature trees and detached homes with large plots give the neighbourhood a stately, almost rural character, while you are still within a quarter of an hour's cycle to the city centre.
The housing stock consists mainly of detached and semi-detached homes, partly from the first half of the twentieth century, with villas here and there dating back to the late nineteenth century. You will find hardly any terraced houses or apartment blocks in Het Loo. The gardens are generally spacious and the streets are not busy. Anyone looking to buy an apartment in Het Loo will find that this type of home is rarely available here. The supply is dominated by ground-based homes.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood itself is soberly equipped, which suits its character. There is no shopping street in the neighbourhood itself, but the Loolaan and the amenities towards the centre are easily accessible by bike. For daily groceries, you quickly drive to the supermarkets along the Loolaan or towards the Noord district. Primary schools in the area can be found in adjacent neighbourhoods such as Loolaan-Noord and Kerschoten. Sports clubs and recreational opportunities are abundant thanks to the surrounding greenery and the proximity of the Veluwe.
Accessibility by car is good: via the Loolaan you quickly reach the N344 and the A1 towards Amsterdam or Deventer. The centre of Apeldoorn can be reached by bike in about ten minutes. Bus connections are available but limited; those dependent on public transport would do well to look up the timetable via the municipality, see also apeldoorn.nl. A private car is practically indispensable.
Residents appreciate the peace, the space and the direct access to the park. One resident writes: "You live here as if the city is on pause. The avenues are quiet, the neighbours are friendly and the park is literally around the corner." Critical notes sometimes concern the limited walking distance to shops and the fact that the neighbourhood has little liveliness for those who seek that.

For comparison: neighbouring municipality De Parken has a similarly green and stately character but is located slightly closer to the centre. Paleispark also borders the historic estate and attracts a similar profile of buyers. Those looking for more urban dynamism would be better off looking at Centrum or the district West.
Who is a home for sale in Het Loo interesting for?
Het Loo mainly attracts people aged 45 and over and pensioners: the largest age group is 65+ (over a third of residents). The neighbourhood suits movers who are looking for peace, space and a green living environment and are willing to pay a higher price for it. First-time buyers will hardly find an affordable option here: the minimum sale price of €320,000 and an average of over €836,000 make it clear that this is not a starter market. Be prepared for limited supply and a sharp market. Those who want to explore the rental market as an alternative or as an intermediate step can look at the rental homes in Het Loo, although that supply is also small.
