Homes for sale in Hoogland, Amersfoort

House prices in Hoogland: above the Amersfoort average, but for a reason

Living in Hoogland: village feel, urban proximity

Hoogland has something that few neighbourhoods radiate so clearly: it feels like a village, but you are within minutes in the heart of Amersfoort. The district lies north of the city and has its own identity that is separate from the urban dynamics. Residents clearly appreciate that. On Buurtje.nl, the district scores an impressive 9.5 out of 10, based on reviews from residents themselves. Safety and sense of community both score a perfect 10. Lyonne writes: "It really has a good vibe here with children often playing outside and there are always friendly people walking dogs that I sometimes have a chat with. I can leave my bike unlocked and nothing happens to it." That kind of everyday safety is not a given and is clearly valued here. Gert-Jan mentions the location of the Bosserdijk as a plus point: nicely central, quick access to shops and the rest of Amersfoort. More experiences from residents can be found on the district page of Hoogland with all scores and ratings.
