Buying a house in Leusden: the housing market in 2026
Leusden is a green municipality on the eastern edge of the province of Utrecht, directly bordering Amersfoort. With over 31,600 residents, it is large enough for good amenities but small enough to retain its village character. Its location is one of its main assets: via the A28 you are within a quarter of an hour at the Hoevelaken junction, and Amersfoort station offers fast intercity connections towards Utrecht, Amsterdam and Zwolle. Many residents work in Amersfoort or Utrecht and appreciate the peace that Leusden offers after a working day.
The housing market in Leusden is predominantly an owner-occupied market: 71% of the more than 13,600 homes are owner-occupied, compared to 29% rented. The average WOZ value is €448,000 and the average purchase price over the past twelve months was €615,495. The range is wide, from €235,000 for a compact apartment to €2,570,000 for a detached villa. The market is fairly tight: homes change hands quickly and supply is limited. At the top of this page you will find the current selling time and current supply. Buurtje.nl aggregates homes from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you can assess not only the home but also the neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Leusden
Leusden has six official neighbourhoods, from the rural Stoutenburg in the north to the wooded Leusden-Zuid. Each neighbourhood has its own character and attracts a different type of buyer. Below are the main neighbourhoods for home seekers.
Leusden-Zuid, green and popular with families
Leusden-Zuid lies against the forests of the Leusderheide and the Vlasakkers, and you can tell. Residents give this neighbourhood a remarkably high neighbourhood score of 8.8 out of 10. It is a quiet neighbourhood with many single-family homes from the 1970s and 1980s, popular with movers and families looking for space. Primary schools and sports clubs are within walking distance. Prices here are generally above the municipal average, but you get wide avenues and plenty of greenery in return. View the supply in Leusden-Zuid for the current situation.
Leusden-Centrum West, close to amenities
The western part of the centre is where you will find the most activity. Hamershof shopping centre, the library, the town hall and various catering establishments are located here. Residents rate the neighbourhood a 7.3. One resident writes: "It's nice that you have everything within walking distance, from the Albert Heijn to the health centre." The housing supply ranges from apartments above shops to terraced houses in the streets behind. For starters and seniors who value proximity to amenities, this is a logical choice.

Leusden-Centrum Oost, affordable but mixed reviews
On the eastern side of the centre you will find a mix of social housing and owner-occupied homes. With a neighbourhood score of 5.8, this neighbourhood scores lower than the rest of Leusden. Residents mention housing quality as a point of attention. At the same time, this is where the most affordable owner-occupied homes in the municipality are located, making it interesting for starters willing to do renovations. Accessibility is good and the distance to Hamershof is small. View what is for sale in Centrum Oost.
Achterveld, village living north of Leusden
Achterveld is a small village within the municipality of Leusden, with its own church, primary school and community centre. It has a close-knit community and a rural character that you won't find in the centre of Leusden. The homes are predominantly detached or semi-detached, and prices vary. For those seeking peace and space and who don't need a shopping centre daily, Achterveld is worth discovering.
In addition, there are a few more interesting areas. 't Ruige Veld is a small-scale rural area south of the centre, and Stoutenburg offers rural living towards Bunschoten with a lot of agricultural character. For a complete overview of all neighbourhoods, neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, you can visit the municipal page of Leusden.
What to look out for when buying a home in Leusden?
Firstly: look beyond just the centre. Leusden-Zuid and Achterveld offer a very different living experience than the centre. The price-quality ratio varies considerably per neighbourhood, so take the time to compare several areas before making an offer.
Secondly: be prepared for a tight market. With 92 homes sold in the past year and limited new supply, you need to act quickly. Make sure your financing is in order and consider a buying agent who knows the local market.
Thirdly: check accessibility from the specific neighbourhood. The A28 is nearby, but during rush hour traffic around Amersfoort can be heavy. If you travel by public transport, in Leusden you have bus connections to Amersfoort station. That works fine, but it's not a train station around the corner.
Finally: use neighbourhood data in your decision. On Buurtje.nl you can see per neighbourhood how residents rate safety, greenery, amenities and more. That gives a fairer picture than just a viewing on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Prefer to be flexible? Then also consider a rental home in Leusden as an intermediate solution.
