Living in Sprengenbos, Apeldoorn
Sprengenbos is located in the western part of Apeldoorn, nestled between wooded avenues and the parks that characterise the city. The neighbourhood has a distinctly green character: wide streets with mature trees, spacious plots and housing that largely dates from the 1960s and 1970s. Detached and semi-detached homes dominate the streetscape, although you will also find terraced houses in the more compact streets towards the edge of the neighbourhood. It is not a neighbourhood with much through traffic, making the living environment quiet and clear.
The residents are on average somewhat older: the largest group falls in the 45 to 65 age category, followed by those aged 65 and over. This is reflected in the atmosphere: it is a stable, established neighbourhood with little turnover. Single-person households are the most common (775), but families and married couples (40% of households) are also well represented. The education level is relatively high, with 47% highly educated, and the average income of €44,200 is noticeably above the Apeldoorn average of €36,500.
