Schuilenburg from the inside: an average neighbourhood with more than you expect
Schuilenburg is not a neighbourhood that immediately impresses when you drive in, but residents rate it an average of 6.9 on Buurtje.nl. That is a fair score for a neighbourhood that is functionally laid out and not necessarily aimed at tourists. Resident Jp describes it as a "cosy and safe neighbourhood where you can live with the whole family", with several schools nearby, a pharmacy, a GP and also a swimming pool within cycling distance. This matches the relatively high safety score of 7.7. Joram calls the neighbourhood "a busy place" with friendly people who like to say hello, although he notes that the neighbourhood is a bit on the older side. That picture matches the data: the group of 65-plussers (920 people) is almost as large as the group of 25-45-year-olds (1,365). Read all resident experiences on the Schuilenburg neighbourhood page, where the full neighbourhood data and subscores are also available.
In terms of amenities, Schuilenburg scores a 6.3, which honestly corresponds to what you find there: a neighbourhood shopping centre for daily groceries, a pharmacy, a GP practice and primary schools in the immediate vicinity. There are also religious facilities and a swimming pool accessible from the neighbourhood. Green space scores a 7.3 and that is noticeable: the neighbourhood has playgrounds and green strips that give the area some breathing room. For a larger range of shops or nightlife, the city centre of Amersfoort is the place to go. The municipality offers an overview of local amenities and municipal services on amersfoort.nl.

The three sub-areas of the neighbourhood, Schuilenburg-Midden, Schuilenburg-Noord and Schuilenburg-Zuid, each have their own character and supply. It is worth looking per sub-neighbourhood at what is available.
