What does a home cost in Nijkerk-stad?

The WOZ value in the neighbourhood is €402,000, which is notably lower than the municipal average of €442,000 in Nijkerk.

Living in Nijkerk-stad: small-town with village edges
Nijkerk-stad is no longer a village, but it doesn't feel like a city either. With nearly 28,700 residents, it is the core of the municipality of Nijkerk, and you can tell by the amenities. In the centre you will find a mix of shops along the Langestraat, an Albert Heijn, Jumbo and Aldi for your daily groceries, and restaurants around the Grote Kerk. There are several primary schools spread across the neighbourhoods, including schools with both Christian and public affiliations, and the Corlaer College for secondary education. The education score on Buurtje.nl is notably high at 8.9.
Residents give the neighbourhood an average of 8.2 out of 10, based on 8 reviews. What consistently comes up: it is quiet, green and safe. Resident San writes: "We have been living here for 11 years now, with great pleasure, lots of greenery, quiet neighbourhood." And Jorik van Daalen mentions the combination of city and motorway as a plus: "It is close to the city but also the motorway." That is correct, because via the A28 you are in Amersfoort in twenty minutes and in Zwolle in half an hour. Nijkerk station is on the Valleilijn (Amersfoort-Ede-Wageningen), convenient for commuters heading to Utrecht. Buses from Keolis connect the town with surrounding villages. Accessibility scores an 8.5. More resident reviews and neighbourhood data can be found on the page of Nijkerk-stad.
In terms of greenery, the town has surprisingly much to offer. Resident VD mentions the park opposite his house and notes that there is "a lot of greenery present". Think of the Berenclauw park in Groot Corlaer and the green edges towards the Arkemheen polder. Sports enthusiasts can go to football club DSVP, tennis club de Slag and swimming pool De Bogen in the eponymous new-build neighbourhood. An honest downside: not every neighbourhood has shops around the corner. VD notes that there are "few shops in our neighbourhood". For more than basic amenities, you have to go to the centre. Compare that with the situation in Hoevelaken, where the level of amenities is even more limited. Information about local plans and developments can be found on the website of the municipality of Nijkerk.
For which buyers is Nijkerk-stad a good choice?
