House prices in Zwartebroek: above the municipal average
Zwartebroek is a home-ownership neighbourhood par excellence: over 74% of the 610 homes are owner-occupied, compared to just 26% rented. That ratio says something about the character of the area. The average WOZ value is €490,000, which is clearly above the municipal average for Barneveld (€434,000). That difference of almost 13% is no coincidence: Zwartebroek has a relatively high number of spacious detached and semi-detached houses on larger plots. Flats are hardly to be found. Over the past twelve months, four owner-occupied homes changed hands, with an average selling price of €602,500 and a range of €400,000 to €795,000, with an average living area of 135 m². Current listings and asking prices can be found at the top of this page. For a broader overview, you can also look at homes for sale in Barneveld as a whole.
Living in Zwartebroek: green, quiet and self-contained
Zwartebroek is a village you won't quickly forget once you've been there. It lies in the rural area of the municipality of Barneveld, surrounded by farmland and small woods, and exudes an atmosphere you won't find in larger settlements. Residents describe it on the Zwartebroek neighbourhood page as quiet and orderly, with short lines to neighbours. A common sentiment: "You know everyone, which gives a safe feeling, but you do have to like peace and quiet." That is also the honest caveat: if you are used to urban vibrancy, you will have to get used to the silence after seven in the evening.
Amenities are present but limited. The village itself has a primary school, which is a big plus for families with young children. For daily groceries, you need to go to Terschuur or Barneveld centre, as there is no supermarket in Zwartebroek itself. Sports clubs do exist: football club SV Zwartebroek is an active hub of village life. The surrounding Buitengebied Zwartebroek offers extensive cycling and walking routes through the Gelderland landscape.
Accessibility is something to consider. Zwartebroek does not have its own train station. The nearest stations are Barneveld-Noord and Barneveld-Centrum, about ten to fifteen minutes away by car. By car, via the N303 and A1, you can reach Amersfoort (about 25 minutes) or Apeldoorn relatively quickly. Bus connections are limited and not suitable for daily commuting, so a car is practically essential. If you want to compare with other villages in the municipality: Kootwijkerbroek and Voorthuizen have a similar village character but slightly more amenities. Garderen is more wooded, while Terschuur is nearby and serves as a neighbouring village for daily shopping.
For which buyers is Zwartebroek a good choice?
Zwartebroek best suits families and movers who prioritise space and tranquillity over urban proximity and are willing to invest. With an average selling price of over €600,000, this is not a market for first-time buyers on a limited budget. Supply is scarce: four sales in a year means you need to act quickly when something becomes available, and overbidding is realistic. Don't forget additional costs: transfer tax (2% for movers), notary fees and any structural survey can quickly add up to an extra €15,000 to €20,000. If buying is not feasible now, then look at rental homes in Zwartebroek as an alternative. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Barneveld.
