Voorst, Voorst
NeighbourhoodThis semi-detached house on Helena H. Wilkensstraat sits in the quiet village of Voorst, surrounded by fields and farmland. Built in 1994, it offers 147 m² of living space on a 310 m² plot, with an energy label C. At €525,000, it is the cheapest of the eight homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and 25% below the average asking price of €701,000. That makes it a keenly priced option compared to other semi-detached houses in Voorst.
Voorst is a small village with about 1,530 residents, where most homes are owner-occupied and the streets are quiet. One resident describes it as a "Rural setting with ill-mannered neighbours", recounting tensions over parking and neighbourhood cats that escalated into intimidation. Despite that, they add: "we enjoy the surroundings of Voorst". The village has a strong sense of community, there was a neighbourhood BBQ, but the experience clearly depends on who you live next to. Average incomes are in line with the rest of the municipality Voorst.
For daily shopping, the SPAR is a couple of streets away, and the PLUS and AH XL are a ten-minute walk. The nearest primary school, OBS J.H. Isings, is just around the corner, while secondary schools are further afield, Kompaan College is a ten-minute walk. The train station is a five-minute walk, making it easy to reach surrounding towns. A GP surgery is on your doorstep.

Very good · 1 resident
My boyfriend and I moved into this neighbourhood at the end of June, into our first home. The first few weeks were all very nice and cosy until August. The owner of Voskamp Textiel intimidated me by contacting my employer because I parked a work van in front of her shop, which is laid out as a public parking space. I then reported this to enforcement and spoke to her personally about her behaviour, telling her they would come. In September there was the neighbourhood BBQ. Again we had a nice time with the neighbours, but that too was short-lived. After asking in the neighbourhood app if people could keep an eye on their cats because our garden was being used as a toilet by neighbourhood cats, I was intimidated by a few households who thought I should move back to the west. This intimidation continued in writing until Christmas Eve. Since then it has fortunately been a bit quieter. Despite having very unpleasant neighbours, we enjoy the surroundings of Voorst and unfortunately also enjoy our home a bit less because it has many hidden defects and costs a lot of money.

About Helena H. Wilkensstraat 20, Voorst
At €525,000, this semi-detached house is the cheapest of the eight homes currently for sale in Voorst. The average asking price in the neighbourhood is €701,000, so this home is 25% below that. However, its floor area of 147 m² is 29% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 208 m². The price per square metre works out at about €3,571, compared to the neighbourhood average of €3,728 per m². So it is priced keenly for its size.
The home has an energy label C. That means it is reasonably efficient but not top-of-the-range. In the neighbourhood, 58.3% of homes have label C, while 16.7% have A or better. You can expect moderate energy costs, but not the lowest possible.
Voorst has a mix of households: about 220 with children and 230 without. The primary school OBS J.H. Isings is just around the corner, and there is a child daycare at the same distance. Secondary schools are further away, the nearest is Kompaan College, a ten-minute walk. The village is quiet and rural, with plenty of green space nearby.
Based on one review, experiences vary. One resident describes the setting as rural but had issues with a local business owner and some neighbours over parking and cats, leading to intimidation. They also mention a neighbourhood BBQ and a friendly start. So while the community can be welcoming, there have been tensions.
The train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a five-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting to nearby towns and cities.
The nearest supermarket is the SPAR, about 4.4 km away, a couple of streets away. The PLUS and AH XL are about 5 km away, a ten-minute walk. There is also a GP surgery just 0.5 km away, on your doorstep.
