Living in Wekerom: nature on your doorstep, but few streetlights
Wekerom is a small village of nearly 2,900 residents, nestled between the Veluwe and the agricultural landscape around Ede. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for busy shopping streets or a vibrant nightlife, and that is precisely why people consciously choose it. Residents give the village a 7.6 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl. The highest scores go to green space (9.5) and safety (8.5), which aligns well with what you experience on the ground: quiet streets, forests within walking distance, and little traffic. M.M.A. describes it as a "rural village" with friendly people and lots of nature, but also points out a concrete downside: people drive fast and there are few streetlights. Matthijs van Laar is more enthusiastic: "Very cosy and quiet, it's very beautiful and enjoyable." More resident reviews and all neighbourhood data can be found on the Wekerom neighbourhood page.
Amenities exist but are limited. Wekerom has a primary school, a village hall, and a few sports clubs, including a football club. For daily groceries, you rely on supermarkets in Ede or Bennekom, about five to ten minutes' drive away. There is no supermarket in the village itself. The subscores for amenities (7.0) and accessibility (7.0) reflect that: it is not a problem if you have a car, but without a car, Wekerom is less practical. In terms of accessibility: the nearest NS railway station is Ede-Wageningen, about ten minutes' drive away. Via the A30 and A12, you are quickly on the motorway towards Arnhem or Utrecht. Bus line 88 connects Wekerom with Ede, but the frequency is limited.
Within Wekerom, there are a few sub-areas, each with its own character. Wekerom dorp is the oldest part with the most buildings and amenities. Slightly outside the centre lie Wekeromse Meent and Wekeromse Zand, both quieter and greener in character. The municipality of Ede is actively working on housing construction and liveability in the region; more information can be found on the website of the municipality of Ede.
For whom is buying in Wekerom a good choice?
Living in Wekerom mainly attracts families with children and dual-income couples who consciously choose space and tranquillity, and consider a car a given. First-time buyers find it difficult: with an average sale price of over €654,000 and few starter homes, the threshold is high. Overbidding occurs, especially for well-located detached homes. In addition to the purchase price, factor in transfer tax (2% for owner-occupiers, 10.4% for investors) and notary costs. If you are still unsure or prefer to remain flexible, you can also look at rental homes in Wekerom, although the supply there is limited.
