Living in Loolaan-Noord, Apeldoorn

Loolaan-Noord is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the northern part of Apeldoorn, nestled between the stately Loolaan and the leafy Apeldoornse Bos. The neighbourhood exudes an atmosphere of established tranquillity: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, and a population that has lived here for years. You can see that in the figures too: the largest age group is 65-plus (615 of the 2,075 residents), followed by 45 to 65 years. Young families are in the minority here, although there are indeed children in the neighbourhood.

The housing stock largely consists of larger single-family homes and detached houses, built in the 1960s and 1970s. You won't find any new-build blocks or stacked apartments here. The gardens are often large, the plots spacious, and the architecture solid and well-maintained. This makes the neighbourhood attractive for those seeking space, but it also means that supply is limited and homes sell quickly.

For daily groceries, you can go to the supermarkets along the Loolaan or in the nearby shopping area towards the centre of Apeldoorn. The centre itself is easily accessible by bike, roughly ten to fifteen minutes away. Apeldoorn station is a similar distance away and offers direct connections to Zutphen, Deventer and Amersfoort. By car, the A1 and A50 are quickly reachable via the N304, which also makes the neighbourhood attractive for commuters to the Randstad or the Achterhoek. Bus connections are available, although the neighbourhood is bike- or car-oriented for most daily trips.

The greenery is one of Loolaan-Noord's strongest assets. The Apeldoornse Bos and the Hoge Veluwe are literally around the corner, and within the neighbourhood there are wide, tree-lined streets that give a park-like appearance. Residents give greenery an 8.5 out of 10, and that's no surprise when you cycle through it. For sports, there are various options in the area, including tennis clubs and walking and cycling routes towards Paleis Het Loo and the adjacent Paleispark.

Residents rate the neighbourhood an average of 8.6 out of 10. Safety and housing even score a 9.0. Francis Tiemens describes it as follows: "A very pleasant and agreeable living environment. Through neighbourhood apps, residents keep in touch and are warned about things. On 5 May, we had a joint breakfast as a street. In September, we celebrate Neighbours' Day together." That says a lot about the social cohesion here, even though it is noted that activities diminish with advancing age. The only point of concern in the scores is education, which at 7.0 is somewhat lower than the rest. There are schools in the area, but the choice is more limited than in more centrally located neighbourhoods.

Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as De Parken or Paleispark, Loolaan-Noord is slightly more accessible in terms of pricing, although it remains a neighbourhood in the higher segment. Those looking for more variety in housing type could also consider Kerschoten. More information about the neighbourhood, resident reviews and district data can be found on the neighbourhood main page of Loolaan-Noord.

Who is a home in Loolaan-Noord suitable for?

The limited supply of 18 transactions in a year calls for alertness: homes here sell quickly. Be prepared to bid above the asking price for desirable properties.
