Living in Lunterse Buurtbos: wooded, spacious and quiet

Lunterse Buurtbos is exactly what the name promises: a wooded neighbourhood on the edge of Lunteren, where you wake up to birdsong and the scent of pine trees in the morning. It is not a typical village district with terraced houses and a playground around the corner. Here, many detached homes and semi-detached houses stand on spacious, green plots. The buildings are spread out and the plots are large, giving the area a rural, almost villa-district character. Some of the homes date from the 1960s and 1970s, but newer houses have also been added. You will not find any apartments or flats here.

For amenities, you rely on the centre of Lunteren, a few minutes' bike ride away. There you will find supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Plus, primary schools (including De Driemaster and Het Kompas), GPs and shops for daily groceries. Sports clubs such as football club VV Lunteren and tennis club LTV Lunteren are within cycling distance. The Lunterse Bos itself offers plenty of walking and cycling paths, and the Veluwe literally starts at your back garden.

Accessibility is reasonable, but not excellent. There is no train station in Lunteren; the nearest station is Ede-Wageningen, about ten kilometres away. By car, via the A30 and A1, you are quickly on the motorway towards Amersfoort or Barneveld. Bus connections (line 105 towards Ede and Barneveld) run from the centre of Lunteren, but frequency is limited in the evenings. A car is practically essential here.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace and greenery. "Lovely living in a green environment, lots of privacy and space. A shame you need the car for everything," writes a resident on the page of Lunterse Buurtbos. That is the downside: without a car, you are limited in your mobility. Compared to neighbourhoods like Centrum Lunteren or Lunteren-Oost, you live here in a more remote location, but that is precisely what attracts a certain type of resident. Those who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of the village and seek space feel at home here. Compared to the broader district Lunteren, Buurtbos is more expensive and greener, with a slightly older resident profile.

Is a home for sale in Lunterse Buurtbos right for you?

The neighbourhood mainly attracts movers and seniors. The largest age group is 45-65 years, and over-65s are also well represented. With an average income of €44,400 and high WOZ values, this is not a starter neighbourhood. If you are looking for a spacious family home with a garden and plenty of privacy, Buurtbos is interesting, but expect hefty prices for the better plots. Buying an apartment in Lunterse Buurtbos is virtually impossible: the supply consists almost exclusively of ground-based homes. Starters and those with a smaller budget would be better off looking at Lunterse Veld or Wormshoef. If you want to stay flexible, you can also check out rental properties in Lunterse Buurtbos, although the supply is limited and entirely private.
