Living in Orden: a cosy Apeldoorn residential neighbourhood with character

Orden is one of those neighbourhoods that outsiders might not immediately think of, but that residents rarely leave. The neighbourhood is located on the western side of Apeldoorn and has a mixed character. You will find post-war porch flats and terraced houses from the 1960s and 1970s, interspersed with newer family homes and the occasional detached house on the edge of the neighbourhood. It is not a neighbourhood with a pronounced architectural style, but rather a lived-in residential area where the trees have now grown tall and the gardens are well maintained.

The heart of Orden beats at Ordenplein. There you will find an Albert Heijn, a Kruidvat, a hairdresser and a number of other shops for daily groceries. Resident Dewi (7.8/10) describes it aptly: "Ordenplein is nearby and has the most convenient and necessary shops. There are plenty of playgrounds for children and it is really cosy in the neighbourhood." Those playgrounds are spread throughout the neighbourhood, which you notice when cycling through. Children play outside, there is space.

In terms of education, there are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including De Vlinder and Het Mozaïek. Two secondary schools are within cycling distance, which is convenient for families with teenagers. Accessibility scores remarkably high among residents: a 9.5 out of 10. That is not without reason. Bus lines towards the centre of Apeldoorn and Apeldoorn station stop in the neighbourhood, and via the Jachtlaan and Europaweg you are on the A1 within ten minutes. The NS station is about a ten-minute bike ride away.

The neighbourhood is green, although residents do not give it a top score on that point (7.5). This is probably because the greenery is more in the form of parks and street trees rather than a large park. If you really want to get into nature, you can cycle to Berg en Bos or the Park Berg en Bos area in a few minutes, where the Veluwe literally begins. Resident Jeffrey (8.4/10) keeps it short and sweet: "Great neighbourhood, never had any problems with it." That sounds down-to-earth, but it says a lot. Orden is not a neighbourhood that stands out for problems, and that is exactly what many buyers are looking for.

Compared to nearby neighbourhoods such as Brinkhorst and Sprengenweg-Noord, Orden is more working-class and affordable. The West district as a whole has a higher average income (€39,900 versus €32,100 in Orden) and higher WOZ values. This makes Orden a more accessible entry point for buyers who want to live in the western part of Apeldoorn but do not have the budget for the more expensive neighbourhoods. More background on the neighbourhood, including all resident reviews and district data, can be found on the neighbourhood page of Orden.

Is a home for sale in Orden right for you?

With an average purchase price of €439,393 and homes from €205,000, Orden is interesting for various target groups. First-time buyers buying an apartment in Orden will find affordable options at the lower end of the market. Families benefit from the playgrounds, schools and the quiet layout of the neighbourhood. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (1,730 residents), which fits a neighbourhood where people stay for a long time. Seniors will find amenities within walking distance and good bus connections.

An honest point: the supply of homes for sale is limited relative to demand, and with 42 sales in a year, not much changes hands. Overbidding occurs. If you are looking for more flexibility, you can also look at rental properties in Orden as an alternative or as an intermediate step.
