Juliana van Stolberg, Amersfoort

Living in Juliana van Stolberg

Juliana van Stolberg is densely built and genuinely urban, and the stock is a genuine mix of apartments and family houses (32% houses).

At 8,124 residents per km² the buurt is busy without being packed.

Amersfoort sits at the rail crossroads of the Netherlands, which makes it a favorite for couples commuting in different directions. A well-preserved medieval center is ringed by thoughtfully planned newer districts like Vathorst.

The housing market in Juliana van Stolberg

The average home value (WOZ) in Juliana van Stolberg is €344,000, which puts it at #107 of 125 neighborhoods in Amersfoort — 17% below the city median, which makes it one of the more approachable entry points into the city. For scale: Amersfoort's cheapest buurt averages €102,000 and its most expensive €1,329,000, so Juliana van Stolberg sits in the budget band of the city.

The direction of the market: between 2015 and 2025 the average WOZ value here rose from €159,000 to €341,000, up 114% — roughly in step with the rest of the city. WOZ values lag the market by about a year, but the trend itself is reliable.

Ownership is split: 40% owner-occupied against 60% rental, including 57% social housing. Enough homes trade hands to give you comparable sales, but check what's actually for sale versus rented in the specific block you're eyeing — the mix can flip from one street to the next.

Who lives here

Demographically, Juliana van Stolberg is dominated by established households in the 45-to-65 bracket (28% of its 1,305 residents), followed by 25-to-45 year olds at 27%. More than half of all households (62%) are single-person — this is a neighborhood of independents, not minivans. The average household counts 1.7 people.

As for who your neighbors would be: incomes skew modest — 58% of households are in the lower national bracket.

Daily errands, coffee and dinner

Day to day: groceries are a non-issue — 5 large supermarkets within a kilometer; there are about 23 cafés and restaurants within walking distance — enough choice without the crowds.

The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 6 min walk · GP 5 min · hospital 3.8 km · library 2.0 km · 2 cinemas within 5 km. None of these will decide a purchase on their own, but a GP taking new patients nearby is the kind of thing you only miss after moving.

Families and schools

For families: 3 primary schools within a kilometer means real choice — and short bike rides; daycare is well covered (7 locations nearby) — though Dutch waiting lists mean you register the week you know you're expecting, not the week you need it; secondary school is a 4-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.

Getting around

Getting around: the station is a 6-minute cycle, standard Dutch commuting range; a highway on-ramp 1.9 km away makes car trips easy — check whether through-traffic noise reaches the street you're considering; and at 0.6 cars per household, most residents simply don't own one — if you do, factor in permit costs and waiting lists before you buy.

Energy and running costs

Since 100% of the stock predates 2000, always check the energy label of a specific listing — the difference between label C and label F on an average home here is easily a few thousand euros a year in heating, and it changes what you can sensibly bid.

Before you bid in Juliana van Stolberg

Before you bid in Juliana van Stolberg: the price gap with the rest of Amersfoort is real, but so is the reason for it — walk the neighborhood at different times of day before committing.

None of these averages can tell you whether the specific house you found is fairly priced — that depends on its size, energy label, state of maintenance and the recent sales around it. That is exactly what a free HomeReview report checks, in about 10 seconds, for any Dutch address.
