Living in Voorthuizen: village character with surprisingly many amenities
Voorthuizen feels like a village that is just big enough to have everything at hand, but small enough to know your neighbours. This is also reflected in the resident rating on Buurtje.nl: an average of 8.6, with a perfect 10 for community, education and amenities. One resident puts it aptly: mutual involvement is high and there is plenty to do for young and old. On the Voorthuizen neighbourhood page you can read all the reviews and neighbourhood data.
When it comes to daily shopping, you are well catered for. On the Hoofdstraat you will find an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo, plus various specialist shops such as a butcher and a baker. There are several primary schools in the village, including De Fontein and Het Kompas, and for secondary education young people travel to Barneveld or Amersfoort. Sports enthusiasts can go to football club VVOP, tennis club De Bosrand and swimming pool De Brink. Hortus Hardenberg park and the proximity of the Veluwe provide more than enough green space, something residents rate at 8.0. In summer, theme park Het Land van Jan Klaassen attracts visitors from outside, giving the village a lively atmosphere but also causing extra traffic in the high season.
Accessibility scores a lower 7.0, and that is fair. Voorthuizen does not have its own train station. You rely on bus lines towards Barneveld and Amersfoort, or you take the car via the A1, which is a few minutes' drive away. Barneveld centre is a quarter of an hour away by car, Amersfoort about 25 minutes. For commuters who have to travel to the Randstad daily, that is workable but not ideal. The neighbourhoods in the village vary greatly in character. In the centre you live above the shops and village life, while the Prinsessenwijk and Componistenwijk are typical family neighbourhoods with spacious single-family homes. Newer districts such as Blankensgoed mainly attract young families looking for new-build homes. The largest age group in Voorthuizen is 45 to 65 years (3,040 residents), but with 1,885 households with children, it is clearly also a place where families feel at home.
Is Voorthuizen right for you as a buyer?
With an average purchase price of nearly half a million euros, buying a home in Voorthuizen is not an impulse purchase. First-time buyers with a smaller budget can look at apartments or more compact homes in the lower price ranges, but must take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2%) and notary fees. Families looking for space and wanting the Veluwe on their doorstep will find plenty here. Movers and over-55s benefit from the complete range of amenities. Bear in mind that sought-after supply sells quickly and overbidding is not uncommon. Those who want to be more flexible can also consider rental homes in Voorthuizen as an intermediate step. Also compare the market in surrounding villages such as Stroe or Garderen, where prices sometimes differ.
