About Walter Gropiuserf 19, Amersfoort
The asking price of €485,000 is 1% below the WOZ value of €488,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. This means the asking price is slightly lower than the municipal valuation. The WOZ value is not the market value, but it gives an indication of how the municipality values the property for tax purposes.
The energy label is B, which is an efficient label. This means the home is relatively energy-efficient compared to less efficient labels, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The label does not say anything about the specific insulation or installations, but it is a good starting point for estimating your monthly energy bills.

How residents experience their district
Relatively quiet, great diversity of residents. Close to (almost) everything, and certainly easily accessible. The municipality takes good care of things, though sometimes it doesn't seem that way, but that's due to people from outside; it could have been worse. Here and there the pavements could do with repair, which "seems" to be going a bit slowly. Actually, not much to complain about. Lots of extra facilities for the elderly, help and entertainment, neighbourhoods also do a lot together. All in all, a lovely place to live here....
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have been living in Zielhorst for more than 25 years, we came from a busy neighbourhood (Soesterkwartier) and the peace we found here is almost the same, just lovely. Friendly people and often a good mix of young and old, and different nationalities. Everyone helps each other where needed, which you really don't come across everywhere anymore. The housing association Omnia is also just great, all those people are skilled and TRULY customer-friendly, always (usually) quick to respond to questions etc. A lot is done to keep our neighbourhood clean and most people are aware that they themselves can/must also contribute enough. Never really experienced anything unpleasant in all the years we have lived here. Plenty of primary and secondary education. Plenty of bus services too, and of course Zielhorst station which will be modernised/expanded in the near future. Zielhorst a place to never leave again. John Coert

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a beautiful neighbourhood, the only downsides for me are actually the trees along the Olifantvlinder/Atlasvlinder because of the large thorns.

Ydylische groene authentieke buurt. Gemêleerde mensen dat maakt de buurt bijzonder. Vriendelijk nieuwsgierig maar vooral mooie mensen.
Auto-translated to English by AIthere is a lot of green in my neighbourhood, but there are also many old people
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood with lots of green. Close to the motorway, hospital, shops and schools.
Auto-translated to English by AIFine, but there could be more playground equipment for the children. Better enforcement for the loitering youth.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful old trees, green neighbourhood in the district, 1930s houses, good atmosphere, friendly, warm-hearted people from different backgrounds. Harmony and everyone is there for each other. Good accessibility by bus, bike or car. Centrally located near the city centre and central station.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything good. Lovely people, beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy neighbourhood, always quiet
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for three years now and I haven't experienced anything unpleasant or anything. Unfortunately, the neighbourhood is relatively far from shops, but I personally don't find it acceptable to constantly consume, so it's not a problem that shops are far away from my perspective. The neighbourhood is built on a small hill, which is why it's called the Bergkwartier. That's a disadvantage if you only have a bike, because it's quite a tough climb uphill. But 'every disadvantage has its advantage': cycling up the hill is good for your health... The neighbourhood doesn't have a neighbourhood watch. But all houses are well secured against burglary. I've never ended up in a bad situation at night. There is no loitering youth anywhere. I don't often read about burglaries in the neighbourhood, nor other crime. There is no community centre in this part of Amersfoort. There is a small restaurant here, about a hundred metres from my home. But I've never seen my neighbours there. So it's not a neighbourhood fathers' place, although it could have been. The neighbourhood consists of a mix of owner-occupied and (social) rental homes. But the majority are owner-occupied. Their condition is quite good. But people with a smaller budget also live here, and that's good because variety is good for social processes and life itself. The neighbourhood is easily accessible from other places in this city. I often walk in the forest; the forest is five hundred metres from my home, it's beautiful there, I find peace there, so I enjoy going there.
