Which buyers is Leusderkwartier a good match for?

The neighbourhood mainly appeals to families and movers who seek peace and greenery without letting go of the city. The largest age group is 45-65 years, but young families (0-15 years: 1,020 children) are also well represented. Buying a house in Leusderkwartier means taking into account limited supply: only a handful of homes are sold per year, which puts pressure on the market. Overbidding is realistic. Also don't forget additional costs: transfer tax (2% for non-starters), notary costs and any structural survey. If you want to stay flexible, you can also look at rental homes in Leusderkwartier as a temporary alternative.
