Living in Winkewijert, Apeldoorn
Winkewijert is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the southwest of Apeldoorn, built in the 1960s and 1970s. The streets consist mainly of terraced houses and semi-detached houses from that period, supplemented by a limited number of detached homes on the edges of the neighbourhood. The buildings are low-rise, the gardens are large compared to more urban neighbourhoods, and there is hardly any through traffic. If you are looking for peace and quiet but still want the city within easy reach, this is a good place to be.
The neighbourhood borders wooded areas that are characteristic of the south of Apeldoorn. From Winkewijert, you can walk or cycle into the greenery towards the Ugchelense Bos within a few minutes. This makes the neighbourhood attractive for people who appreciate the outdoors, but it also means the neighbourhood has few amenities of its own. There is no shopping centre in Winkewijert itself. For daily groceries, you go to the nearby Anklaar shopping centre or towards the Ugchelen district. Primary schools are available in the immediate vicinity, but for secondary education and more extensive facilities, you rely on the wider municipality.
In terms of accessibility, Winkewijert is reasonably well connected for a quiet suburban neighbourhood. By car, you can quickly reach the A1 or A50 via the Laan van Spitsbergen or the Ugchelseweg. The centre of Apeldoorn is about a ten-minute drive away. Public transport is available via bus stops in the neighbourhood, although the frequency is limited compared to more central districts. Cyclists are well served: the cycle network towards the centre and towards the green areas is well developed.
Residents particularly appreciate Winkewijert for its peace and space. On the neighbourhood main page of Winkewijert, you can read what residents themselves write. One resident describes it as follows: "It is quiet here, the neighbours know each other, and you are in the woods in five minutes. That is exactly what I was looking for." A point of attention that often comes up in reviews is the limited shopping options within walking distance and the poor bus service in the evenings.
Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Ugchelen and De Heeze, Winkewijert is slightly more compact and has a somewhat stronger residential neighbourhood character without much commercial activity. Westenenk and De Bouwhof are similar quiet neighbourhoods in the same district, but with partly different housing types. If you are looking for more urbanity, you might be better off looking at Centrum or the district West. More information about the broader context can be found on the page about the municipality of Apeldoorn.
Who is a home for sale in Winkewijert interesting for?
The neighbourhood mainly attracts families and people in the 45 to 65 age group, the largest group in Winkewijert.

First-time buyers can buy an apartment in Winkewijert or find a starter home at the lower end of the range, but supply is scarce: on average, only one or two homes are sold per month.
