Ermelo - West, Ermelo
NeighbourhoodThis semi-detached house on Havikshof sits in a leafy part of Ermelo, where the streets are lined with similar homes from the 1970s. With 175 m² of living space and a 545 m² plot, it is noticeably larger than the neighbourhood average. The price of €775,000 is on the high side compared to other semi-detached houses in Ermelo, but the extra space and energy label A help explain the premium.

The neighbourhood is cosy. Everyone gets along with each other and knows each other. In the neighbourhood we have a cosy playground. Unfortunately, there are few play options for children. There are several schools in the neighbourhood, primary and secondary education. There are also shops in the neighbourhood, most within walking distance. The centre is easily accessible for everyone. As for the centre, I think there should be more enforcement by the community wardens.
Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I've lived here my whole life, my parents have lived here for 40 years if I'm not mistaken. And we only have a really good connection with 2 neighbours, that's it, that's what I mean by not all fitting in the same boat. Although we are always friendly and hospitable, there is a lot of gossip behind your back. The neighbourhood itself is fine in terms of living conditions. It's cold, but well, we'll just have to deal with it. Everything is close to shops etc., so that's good. I grew up well here, so nothing to complain about. Hygiene could be a bit better because the streets don't look great, but that's up to the municipality. They could do something about the pavements because there's a lot of moss between them, which can cause bacteria, and that's not good for the air, and the roads aren't that great either. Safety here isn't good either; in the past, very little happened, but over the years, much more crime has emerged. I notice it, and so do the neighbourhood residents, and they think that because there's only a police station in Harderwijk, it takes far too long for them to come. As I said, shops are close by, plenty of supermarkets, so facilities are excellent. Accessibility is also nothing to complain about; it's fine, I don't know how to explain it. And education and green spaces are absolutely fine; we have about 7 primary schools in our village of 29,900 people, I think, and a good secondary school that provides good support and helps you on your way. We are known for green spaces; if you want to enjoy greenery and beautiful fresh nature, come to Ermelo, where you can walk your dog on the heath and then stroll through the lovely green forest with birds whistling to you. Please, this is my experience.

Auto-translated to English by AII think Ermelo-West is a nice neighbourhood with many playgrounds for children, lots of greenery and good asphalt roads. The only downside is that there is sometimes a shortage of parking spaces and the street is completely full of cars.

About Havikshof 11, Ermelo
The asking price is 46% above the neighbourhood average of €532,471, but the home is also 35% larger than the average (175 m² vs 130 m²) and has an energy label A, which is better than most homes in the area. Given these factors, the price is on the high side but reflects the extra space and efficiency.
Energy label A means the home is very efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity bills compared to older homes with lower labels. In the neighbourhood, only 21% of homes have label A, so this is a strong point.
Ermelo - West has a high proportion of households with children (985 out of 1790 households) and many primary schools within walking distance.
