Living in Vermeerkwartier-Oost, Amersfoort
Vermeerkwartier-Oost is a quiet, green neighbourhood on the southeast side of Amersfoort, built in the 1970s and 1980s. The streets are wide, there are many trees, and the vast majority of the housing stock consists of single-family homes: terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached houses on spacious plots. Apartments are also present, but they are in the minority. The neighbourhood does not feel urban; rather, it is a quiet residential area where cars can go in the garage and children play in the street.
The age composition confirms that picture. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, but there are also families with children (the largest household group). That says something about the atmosphere: it is not a neighbourhood for those seeking city bustle, but it is a neighbourhood where you know your neighbours and it is quiet after nine o'clock.
In terms of amenities, the location is favourable. The Emiclaer shopping centre and daily groceries at Albert Heijn or Jumbo are within cycling distance. Primary schools, such as those in nearby Vathorst or within the district itself, are easily accessible. For sports, there are various clubs in the immediate vicinity, and the Waterwingebied and the Valleikanaal offer walking and cycling opportunities just around the corner. If you enjoy the outdoors, there is more than enough space here.
Accessibility is a strong point. Amersfoort Vathorst station is within cycling distance and offers fast connections to Utrecht and Amsterdam. For those taking the car: the A1 and A28 can be reached within minutes via the ring road. The centre of Amersfoort is a ten to fifteen-minute bike ride away, which is the daily reality for many residents.
Residents appreciate the peace, space and green appearance of the neighbourhood. One resident writes: "Lovely living here, lots of green, quiet streets and yet everything close by. Ideal for families who don't want to be in the middle of the city." Criticisms that come up are the limited dining and entertainment options in the neighbourhood itself and the fact that you always have to head towards the centre for a night out. Read more experiences on the neighbourhood page of Vermeerkwartier-Oost, where residents give scores on categories such as safety, green spaces and amenities.
