House prices and market figures for Sluisoord, Apeldoorn
The owner-occupied market in Sluisoord is modest in size. Only 45% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, the remaining 55% is rental housing, a large part of which is owned by housing associations. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes in Sluisoord limited, and this is reflected in the transaction figures: in the past twelve months, 13 homes changed hands. The average purchase price was €422,692, with a range of €300,000 to €549,000. With an average living area of 130 m², this works out to approximately €3,250 per square metre.
The average WOZ value in Sluisoord is €314,000. This is clearly below the average for the Noordoost district (€362,000) and significantly below the municipal average for Apeldoorn (€378,000). However, the realised selling prices are higher than the WOZ value, indicating that the market is also picking up here. The housing stock consists mainly of single-family homes, often terraced houses from the 1970s and 1980s. Current asking prices and selling times can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
Living in Sluisoord, Apeldoorn
Sluisoord is a quiet, predominantly green residential neighbourhood in the northeastern part of Apeldoorn. The neighbourhood has a clear post-war character: straight streets, spacious gardens, plenty of greenery between the buildings, and a scale that feels human. The homes are mostly terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s, solidly built but in need of modernisation in many cases. If you are looking for a 1990s new-build estate or an urban environment, you would be better off looking elsewhere. If you are looking for space, greenery and tranquillity, you will find it here.
The resident score on the neighbourhood page of Sluisoord is 7.3 out of 10, based on resident reviews. Notably high scores are for greenery (8.5), beauty (8.0), education (10) and amenities (9.0). These are not empty figures: the neighbourhood borders green strips and has primary schools within walking distance that are clearly appreciated. Lower scores are for accessibility (6.5), safety (6.5) and community (4.5). This low community score stands out and is confirmed by the only available review. Jan Bijsterbosch, a resident for 55 years, writes: "I have lived here for 55 years but it is not getting any better, in the beginning it was good living." He describes how the neighbourhood has changed and how he feels less at home among the current residents. That is an honest signal that the social cohesion in Sluisoord is not strong, and that the neighbourhood has changed in character over the past decades.
In terms of amenities, Sluisoord does surprisingly well. Supermarkets are within a short cycling distance, and the connection to the broader range of amenities in Apeldoorn-Noord is present. For larger groceries or shops, you cycle towards the city centre, about five to ten minutes away. Bus connections provide public transport access, although the neighbourhood is not directly located near a train station. By car, you can quickly reach the motorway via the N50 and A1, making the neighbourhood attractive for commuters heading to Deventer or the Randstad. Accessibility scores a 6.5 from residents, indicating that public transport users have to make a bit more effort.
Compared to neighbouring communities such as Anklaar or Zevenhuizen, Sluisoord has a quieter, less dynamic appearance. De Mheen and Sprenkelaar are similar residential neighbourhoods in the same district. If you are looking for a larger city or more allure, you can also look at owner-occupied homes in the broader Noordoost district, where WOZ values and incomes are generally higher.
Who is a home for sale in Sluisoord suitable for?
The largest age group in Sluisoord is 45 to 65 years, followed by those aged 65 and over. The neighbourhood therefore attracts relatively few young families, although there are households with children (710 of the approximately 1,828 homes). For movers looking for peace and space without paying a top price, Sluisoord could be interesting. The average purchase price of €422,692 is above the municipal WOZ value, so overbidding is realistic in this segment. First-time buyers with a limited budget should look at the lower end of the range, homes from €300,000. Keep in mind a limited supply: 13 transactions in a year is few. If you want to be flexible, also consider the rental homes in Sluisoord as an alternative.
What residents say about Sluisoord
Sluisoord receives an average resident score of 7.3 out of 10. The highest sub-scores are for education (10), amenities (9.0) and greenery (8.5).

The only published review comes from a long-term resident who indicates that the neighbourhood has changed and that he misses the social cohesion that used to be there. That gives a realistic picture: Sluisoord is green and well-equipped, but neighbourhood bonding is limited. Read all reviews and neighbourhood data on the information page of Sluisoord.

Strong points are the greenery (8.5) and amenities (9.0), weaker points are the sense of community (4.5) and accessibility (6.5). The neighbourhood has a quiet, not very dynamic atmosphere and consists largely of single-family homes from the 1970s and 1980s.
Is Sluisoord suitable for families with children?
Families with children live in Sluisoord and the education score is remarkably high (10 out of 10), which indicates well-regarded schools in or near the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is quiet and green, which is pleasant for young children. However, the largest age group is 45 to 65 years, meaning the neighbourhood has more of a move-up buyer environment than a starter one.
How is the accessibility of Sluisoord?
Residents rate the accessibility at 6.5 out of 10. By car, Sluisoord is reasonably well accessible via the N50 and the connection to the A1 towards Deventer and the Randstad. The city centre of Apeldoorn is a five to ten minute bike ride away. Bus lines run through the neighbourhood, but there is no train station within walking distance. OV-dependent buyers should take this into account.
What types of homes are for sale in Sluisoord?
The housing stock in Sluisoord consists largely of single-family homes, particularly terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s. Buying apartments in Sluisoord is less common; the supply is mainly focused on ground-based homes. Many homes have a spacious garden, which fits the green character of the neighbourhood.
How safe is Sluisoord?
Residents give safety a 6.5 out of 10, which is slightly below average. The neighbourhood does not have a pronounced unsafe image, but the score indicates that residents are not fully satisfied with it. The low community score (4.5) may be related to this: less social control sometimes also means a less safe feeling. If this is an important criterion for you, it is advisable to read the current reviews on the neighbourhood page.
I've lived here for 55 years now, but it's not getting any nicer. In the beginning it was good living. I live alone now; both my parents died here. I was allowed to stay, but now I live among very different kinds of people. I would like to leave, but the housing association sets so many requirements that I'll probably end up staying.
