Living in Vogelkwartier, Apeldoorn
Vogelkwartier is a quiet, predominantly post-war residential neighbourhood in the south of Apeldoorn. The streets have names like Merelstraat, Vinkenstraat and Spreeuwenstraat, which sum up the atmosphere of the area well: green, quiet, and unpretentious. The housing stock largely consists of terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1950s and 1960s, supplemented by a number of apartment blocks. The gardens are generally well-maintained and the streets are wide enough for cyclists and playing children.
The neighbourhood attracts a mixed population. With nearly 5,000 residents and a large group between 25 and 45 years old, but also a significant group of over-45s and seniors over 65, Vogelkwartier is neither a typical student area nor an exclusive villa district. Single-person households are the most common (1,175), but families and couples also enjoy living here.
For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Within walking distance, you will find supermarkets and small shops on Laan van Osseveld and towards the centre of the Zuid district. For a larger range of shops, Apeldoorn city centre is about ten minutes away by bike. Vogelkwartier borders green areas that invite walking and cycling, which residents see as a clear plus.
In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores reasonably well.
