Living in Zuidoost: De Maten as a green family district

Zuidoost, better known as De Maten, is one of the larger residential districts of Apeldoorn with over 25,000 residents. The district was built from the 1970s onwards with a clear design: plenty of greenery, separated traffic flows, and neighbourhoods each with their own character. That green character is exactly what residents appreciate most. On Buurtje.nl, the Zuidoost district scores a 7.9 out of 10 based on 12 reviews, with a notable 9.0 for greenery. Resident Stefan sums it up succinctly: "A beautiful, quiet area with lots of nature nearby." And Sofie Zwart writes: "It's a lovely district with many trees and a playground for the little ones." Those who live here notice it daily: the Matenpark, the water features, and the many green strips give the district an almost village-like feel.

In terms of amenities, much revolves around shopping centre De Eglantier on Laan van de Maten, where you can visit Albert Heijn, Kruidvat, and various specialist shops. Resident Michel has lived there for over twenty years and explicitly mentions the shopping centre as a plus point of his neighbourhood Matengaarde. In addition, there are primary schools spread across the entire district, such as De Vlinder in Matenhoeve and Het Mozaïek in Matendreef. For secondary education, children go to Veluws College or Gymnasium Apeldoorn, both within cycling distance. Sports club AGOVV (football) and tennis park Maten are located within the district itself.

Accessibility scores a 7.9 among residents. By car, via Laan van Maten and Zutphensestraat, you quickly reach the A1 towards Amersfoort or Deventer. Apeldoorn station is about a ten-minute bike ride from the northern neighbourhoods such as Matenhoek. Bus lines 4 and 8 of Syntus connect the district to the station and the centre. To be fair, not everyone is equally enthusiastic about the social cohesion. Resident Brenda describes her immediate surroundings as "distant" and experiences nuisance from neighbours. Henk notes that there is "a lot of litter" despite the abundant greenery. These varying experiences per neighbourhood are typical for such a large district. Read the resident reviews on the Zuidoost district page to get a good picture of the neighbourhood that suits you.
