Living in Nieuwland: a family neighbourhood with a stream and a quiet shopping centre
Nieuwland was built as a Vinex neighbourhood on the north side of Amersfoort, mostly in the 1990s and early 2000s. The neighbourhood has around 14,440 residents, with the largest group aged between 45 and 65. With 2,680 households with children, it is clearly a family neighbourhood, something residents confirm. Michael, a resident who gives the neighbourhood an 8.4, writes: "Several primary schools within walking distance, secondary schools and further education within cycling distance. A beautiful stream in the middle of the neighbourhood." That stream, the Watersteeg, is indeed a striking feature that winds through the heart of the neighbourhood and provides a green ribbon between the houses. On the neighbourhood page of Nieuwland you will find all resident reviews and neighbourhood data together.
Residents give the neighbourhood an average of 6.6 on Buurtje.nl. Notably, the score for housing (7.8) and accessibility (7.5) is relatively high, while sense of community lags behind at 5.2. You can see that in the reviews. One resident calls it "a quiet but cosy neighbourhood", but another is more critical: "The neighbourhood is pleasant to live in, but there is little to do and little sense of togetherness. The shopping centre is quite empty and has few shops besides the supermarket, hairdressers, flower shop and eateries." That shopping centre, Nieuwland, is functional but not bustling. You will find an Albert Heijn and some basic amenities, but for more extensive shopping you go to the centre of Amersfoort or to shopping centre Vathorst further on. The neighbourhoods Centrum / Waterpark and de Kruidenbuurt are close to this shopping area.
In terms of accessibility, Nieuwland scores well. The neighbourhood is located near the A28, towards Utrecht or Zwolle you are quickly on the motorway. Station Amersfoort Vathorst is the nearest train station, within cycling distance, with Sprinters to Utrecht Centraal (about 25 minutes) and Zwolle. Several Syntus bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the centre and the main station. For families, there are several primary schools in the neighbourhood, including De Bron and De Vlinderboom. Secondary schools such as Corderius College and Farel College are within cycling distance in adjacent neighbourhoods. Sportpark Nieuwland offers space for football and tennis, and the greenery around the water features invites walking and playing. More information about neighbourhood plans and facilities can be found on the website of the municipality of Amersfoort.

Nature: a beautiful stream in the middle of the neighbourhood. Community: a typical family neighbourhood but when the children get older and you grow out of that stage, it's no longer the cosiest place. For that, you'd be better off in Hoogland. Accessibility: with a bit of searching, enough parking spaces, close to the motorway, a bus every 5 to 10 minutes at one of the 3 stops. Apart from the centre and the stations, one of the best-connected neighbourhoods in Amersfoort.
