Living in Spakenburg, Bunschoten
Spakenburg is no ordinary neighbourhood. It is a former fishing village with its own recognisable character that you will not find anywhere else in the region. The old harbour with historic botters forms the beating heart. Resident Karin Degraaf sums it up aptly: "Great place to live, just around the corner and I am in the centre where you can see beautiful botters in the harbour and there is always something going on all year round." The harbour is not only atmospheric, but also the backdrop for events such as the Spakenburgse Dagen and the harbour festivals.
The housing stock is varied. Around the old core are characteristic homes from the early twentieth century, while the outer edges of the neighbourhood have more post-war terraced houses and newer single-family homes. The atmosphere is village-like and close-knit. With 715 households with children as the largest group and a marriage rate of 49%, it is clearly a neighbourhood where families settle.
In terms of amenities, Spakenburg is fairly self-sufficient. In the centre you will find an Albert Heijn, various specialist shops and catering establishments around the harbour. There are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity and sports clubs such as football club IJsselmeervogels (now a household name in amateur football) and various water sports clubs. For secondary schools, young people go to Amersfoort or Baarn.
Accessibility scores highly with residents (9.0 out of 10). Spakenburg is a fifteen-minute drive from the A1 and A28, meaning you can quickly reach Amersfoort, Utrecht or Hilversum.

The lack of its own train station is a point of attention, but bus stops are within walking distance of the centre.
