Living in Matendreef, Apeldoorn

Matendreef is a quiet, green-dominated residential neighbourhood in the southeast of Apeldoorn. The neighbourhood is part of the Maten, a large residential area developed in the 1970s and 1980s. Walking around, you see wide streets with plenty of greenery in between, parks, water features and cycle routes that connect almost seamlessly with the surrounding nature. The proximity of the Matenveld and the green connections towards the Veluwe have been a conscious choice for many residents.

Stefan, a resident, describes it succinctly but aptly: "A beautiful quiet environment with lots of nature nearby." You recognise that feeling when you live there. It is not a neighbourhood with much activity or hospitality on the street, but rather a place where it is quiet in the evenings and children play outside. The resident score of 7.9 out of 10 confirms that picture, with highs for green space (9.5) and safety (8.5). It is no coincidence that the neighbourhood scores so highly on those two points: there is little nuisance and plenty of space.

For daily shopping, you can go to the De Maten shopping centre, within cycling distance of most streets in the neighbourhood. Here you will find a supermarket, a pharmacy and a few other shops for daily use. For a larger range of shops or specialist stores, Apeldoorn city centre is the place to go, about five to ten minutes away by car. As for education, there are several primary schools available in and around the Maten, and the education score from residents stands at 8.0.

Accessibility by car is reasonable: via the N50 and the connection to the A1 you quickly reach the motorway. But residents are less enthusiastic about public transport. Gjj writes: "Lack of bus stops in the neighbourhood. Elderly people have to walk far too far to catch a bus." The accessibility score of 6.5 is therefore the lowest sub-score. Those who depend on public transport would do well to check this thoroughly in advance. The neighbourhood is, however, excellently accessible by bicycle, both for daily trips and recreational outings.

The social atmosphere is friendly, but not everyone is equally satisfied with the mutual interaction. Peter gives the neighbourhood a 7.9 and writes: "Great living environment, but the quality is partly determined by the residents, and not everyone considers others." That is an honest signal: Matendreef is not an anonymous neighbourhood, but neither is it a close-knit village community. The community score stands at 7.0.

Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Matenhorst and Matengaarde, Matendreef has a similar character, but prices and WOZ values are slightly lower than the district average for Zuidoost. Matendonk and Matenveld are also interesting alternatives if you want to buy in this part of Apeldoorn. More neighbourhood information, all resident figures and full reviews can be found on the Matendreef neighbourhood page.

Who is a home in Matendreef interesting for?

Seniors who depend on public transport would do better to check the bus connections first via the municipality of Apeldoorn.
