Living in Welgelegen, Apeldoorn

Welgelegen is one of the established residential neighbourhoods on the eastern side of Apeldoorn, nestled between the Laan van Osseveld, the Arnhemseweg and the greenery towards the Veluwe. It is not a neighbourhood that immediately stands out, but that is precisely what makes it attractive for people seeking peace and quiet without being far from the city. The streets are generally quiet, with plenty of greenery in the gardens and a few larger green strips cutting through the neighbourhood. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (1,180 residents), but there are also many over-65s (1,060) and a sizeable group of families with children. You can tell from the atmosphere: it is quiet during the day, you see schoolchildren in the afternoon, and at the weekend people go walking and cycling.

In terms of amenities, Welgelegen is not the most self-sufficient neighbourhood. The resident reviews on the neighbourhood page of Welgelegen are honest about that: the sub-scores for amenities and education are notably low at 1.0. For daily groceries, you rely on supermarkets on the Laan van Osseveld or the Eglantier shopping centre in neighbouring Osseveld. Primary schools are just outside the neighbourhood, in Osseveld-West or Osseveld-Oost. That is within walking distance, but it is good to know that you have to leave the neighbourhood for schools, shops and restaurants.

What residents do appreciate is the greenery (score 8.0), safety (10.0) and the quality of housing (10.0). One resident writes: "Safe and green, nice houses, but for shops and schools you have to leave the neighbourhood." That is an honest summary. Accessibility scores a 6.0. Station Apeldoorn Osseveld is within cycling distance, and via the Arnhemseweg you are quickly on the A50 towards Arnhem or Zwolle. Bus routes along the Laan van Osseveld take you to the centre in fifteen minutes. By bike, you are there in ten minutes.

Compared to other neighbourhoods in the Oost district, Welgelegen offers a bit more peace than, for example, De Voorwaarts, which is closer to sports facilities and business activity. If you are looking for more space and a newer housing supply, then Groot Zonnehoeve is worth a look. If you prefer more urban vibrancy, look at the centre of Apeldoorn.

Is a home for sale in Welgelegen right for you?

Welgelegen mainly attracts movers and older buyers. With an average purchase price of almost €497,000, it is not a starter neighbourhood, although the cheapest homes (around €280,000) may just be within reach for dual-income couples. The average income of €39,400 and the high percentage of owner-occupied homes point to a financially stable neighbourhood. For families, it is pleasant to live here due to the safety and greenery, but keep in mind the limited amenities in the neighbourhood itself. Seniors feel at home here because of the peace and quiet. Note: the supply is limited (25 sales in a year), so be quick when something becomes available. Are you also considering renting? Then take a look at the rental homes in Welgelegen, although only 23% of the stock is rental.
