Living in Kerschoten, Apeldoorn
Kerschoten is a down-to-earth, functional part of Apeldoorn-Noord. The neighbourhood was built in the 1960s and 1970s and it shows: straight streets, two-storey terraced houses with roofs, and the occasional porch flat. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its architecture or greenery, but rather for its practical location and the presence of everything you need on a daily basis.
Resident C.j., who has lived here for four months, sums it up well: "Nice to have everything close together. There are 2 supermarkets within walking distance, plus a chemist and Primera, snack bar and Blokker. I feel safe in the neighbourhood and the people I've met so far are friendly. No noise nuisance or anything like that." That summary covers it well. The amenities are the strongest point: the neighbourhood scores a 9.0 for accessibility and facilities in the resident reviews of Kerschoten. Concretely, that means two supermarkets within walking distance, daily shops in the immediate vicinity, and a good connection to the city centre of Apeldoorn.
In terms of accessibility, Kerschoten benefits from its location in the northern part of Apeldoorn. The centre can be reached by bike in a quarter of an hour. By bus, you are quickly at Apeldoorn central station, from where trains depart towards Amersfoort, Zutphen and Deventer. The connection to the A1 and A50 motorways is easily accessible via the northern arterial roads. For families with children, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity; for secondary education, you head to schools elsewhere in Noord or the centre.
The safety score stands at 8.0, which is a solid figure for an urban neighbourhood with a mixed social profile. The community score (7.0) and the scores for greenery and beauty (both 7.0) indicate that the neighbourhood is functional but does not excel in atmosphere or appearance. If you are looking for leafy streets or a distinct neighbourhood feel, you would be better off looking at neighbouring areas such as De Parken or Loolaan-Noord, which have a greener and quieter character. Kerschoten-West is also a direct neighbour with a similar profile, but sometimes a slightly different housing supply. Within the broader district of Noord, Kerschoten is one of the more affordable neighbourhoods.
The population structure is striking: the largest age group is 65-plus (960 people), followed by the 25-45 and 45-65 age groups. This gives the neighbourhood a quieter, more established character. Single-person households are the most common household type. You notice this in the streets: it is not a neighbourhood where many children play outside, but neither is it a neighbourhood where it is restless.
