Living in Kattenbroek: multicultural, quiet and everything around the corner

Kattenbroek was built in the 1990s as one of the Vinex-style expansion neighbourhoods of Amersfoort, and you can tell from its layout: wide cycle paths, lots of greenery and a clear separation between car and pedestrian routes. The neighbourhood has its own character that you won't easily confuse with, for example, the Soesterkwartier or the city centre. Residents on Buurtje.nl give Kattenbroek a 7.9 out of 10. Facilities (8.8) and education (8.5) score notably high. Resident Ria Peulen sums it up succinctly: "Shops nearby, schools and sports, everything close by!" And that's true. Kattenbroek Shopping Centre on Laak offers an Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Kruidvat, a GP and various eateries. For schools, you can go to, among others, primary schools De Achtbaan, De Vlinderboom and Vathorst College nearby.

In terms of greenery, there is plenty to enjoy. The Waterwingebied and the Stadspark are within walking distance, and the green strips through the neighbourhood invite you to walk or run. Resident Tobias writes that he has lived there for six years and finds it "great" because of the peace and the friendly people. Another resident, River, emphasises the liveliness: "A neighbourhood with all kinds of different people and cultures, there's always something going on."
