Homes for sale in Hoogland-West, Amersfoort

House prices in Hoogland-West: well above the Amersfoort average

Hoogland-West is without doubt one of the most expensive residential areas in Amersfoort. The average WOZ value is €800,000, while the municipal average is €432,000. That difference says a lot about the character of the housing stock here: it is almost exclusively spacious detached houses and large semi-detached homes, no apartments. Of the 185 homes in the neighbourhood, 81% are owner-occupied. Rental properties are scarce, and social housing is completely absent. In the past twelve months, four homes were sold, with an average sale price of €1,952,500 and a range of €1,395,000 to €2,625,000. The average home had a floor area of 374 m². For the current supply and asking prices, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.

Anyone looking for a home to buy in Hoogland-West must therefore reckon with a price range that is out of reach for most buyers in Amersfoort. Supply is scarce and the homes are large. This makes the market here illiquid but stable: few sales occur, but values remain high.

Living in Hoogland-West: space, tranquillity and a distinct community

Hoogland-West lies on the north side of Amersfoort, bordering the countryside towards Hoogland and Nijkerk. The neighbourhood has a distinctly rural character, with spacious plots, plenty of greenery and low building density. Those who live here consciously choose space and tranquillity, not urban vibrancy within walking distance. On the Hoogland-West neighbourhood page you will find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents particularly appreciate the tranquillity, the space around the homes and the social cohesion in the area. A common sentiment in the reviews is that neighbours know each other and that the neighbourhood has a pleasant village feel despite being within the municipality of Amersfoort. One resident describes it as: "You live here with the space of the countryside, but Amersfoort is just around the corner." Some residents are more critical about the limited amenities directly in the neighbourhood itself.

And that is true. Hoogland-West has no supermarket or shopping centre of its own. For daily groceries, you drive to the centre of Hoogland or to the shops along the Hogeweg. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity are available in Hoogland, a few minutes' drive away. Sports clubs are located in nearby Hoogland, including football club SV Hoogland. For more extensive amenities, such as secondary schools, hospital care or a wide range of shops, you rely on Amersfoort city centre, which is about ten to fifteen minutes' drive away. The Coelhorst area borders Hoogland-West and has a similarly green and spacious character. De Schans and Zeldert also fall under the same neighbourhood and offer a similar living environment.

In terms of accessibility, Hoogland-West is heavily dependent on the car. Amersfoort Central Station is about ten kilometres away, reachable via the N199 or via the A1 and A28 motorways which connect nearby. Public transport is limited: there are bus lines towards Amersfoort, but the frequency is not high. For commuters travelling daily to Utrecht or Amsterdam, a car is practically indispensable. The municipality of Amersfoort is working on accessibility plans for the region; more information can be found on the Amersfoort municipal website.

For which buyers is Hoogland-West a serious option?

Living in Hoogland-West is reserved for a specific group: movers or buyers with high equity who consciously choose a large detached home with a garden and privacy. The largest age group in the neighbourhood is 45 to 65 years old, and that reflects the type of buyer that fits here. First-time buyers or young families with a modal income will not be able to afford a home in Hoogland-West financially. Supply is limited and prices leave little room for negotiation. Also do not forget the additional costs: transfer tax, notary fees and any renovations can quickly add up to tens of thousands of euros extra at this price level. Those who want more choice in a lower segment can also look at Soesterkwartier or Eemkwartier. Are there rental properties in Hoogland-West available? There are very few, but the page shows the current situation.
