Living in Hoevelaken: a village with village tranquillity and fast connections

Hoevelaken feels like an independent village, even though it administratively falls under the municipality of Nijkerk. The neighbourhood has its own centre with a compact shopping area around the Dorpsstraat, where you can find a supermarket, bakery and pharmacy for daily groceries. For a larger range of shops, residents quickly drive to Amersfoort or Nijkerk. On the neighbourhood page of Hoevelaken you will find resident reviews and scores per category; residents particularly appreciate the tranquillity, the green structure and the social cohesion in the area. A frequently heard comment: "You still know your neighbours here, and children just play outside on the street." Criticisms often focus on the limited public transport in the evenings and the congestion on the A1 during rush hours.

In terms of accessibility, the location on the A1 (Hoevelaken junction, interchange with the A28) is a major advantage for commuters heading to Amsterdam, Utrecht and Amersfoort. Amersfoort is about a ten-minute drive away. Hoevelaken does not have its own train station, but Amersfoort station is easily accessible by car or bus. Bus services run regularly during the day, but those dependent on public transport in the evening or at weekends will notice the limitations. This makes a car almost indispensable in practice.

For families, the level of facilities is good. There are several primary schools in the neighbourhood, including schools in areas such as Kleinhoven and Middelaar. For secondary education, children go to Amersfoort or Nijkerk. Sports clubs are plentiful: football, tennis and a swimming pool are available in or near the neighbourhood. The surrounding nature, with the Hoevelakense forests and the proximity of the Veluwe edge, makes walking and cycling popular. The neighbourhoods Hogenbrink and Oranjebuurt-Horstbeek also each have their own character, and it is worth comparing per neighbourhood what suits your living wishes. The municipality publishes up-to-date information about facilities and developments via nijkerk.nl.

For which buyers is Hoevelaken a good choice?

Hoevelaken mainly attracts families and movers who are looking for space and are willing to pay for it. With an average selling price of over €657,000, this is not a starter market; anyone wanting to buy a home as a starter will encounter high prices and a limited supply in the lower segment. Overbidding is not unusual in this segment. When calculating your budget, do not forget the additional costs: transfer tax (2% for homes above the starter exemption), notary costs and possible estate agent fees.
