Amersfoort is the second-largest city in the province of Utrecht, with around 160,000 residents and growing. It is one of the few Dutch cities that has managed to preserve a genuinely intact medieval centre — the Koppelpoort gate, the Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren tower, canal-lined streets, and cobblestone squares — while simultaneously building some of the most successful modern suburbs in the country.

That contrast defines the city. Inside the old walls, you find Mondrian's birthplace (now a museum), atmospheric restaurants along the Muurhuizen, and a compact urban core that feels centuries old. Outside, you find Vathorst — a 25,000-resident neighbourhood built in the 2000s with its own railway station, modern architecture, and family-first infrastructure. Between them sit Kattenbroek (famous for its experimental architecture), Schothorst, Nieuwland, and Zielhorst — each planned, spacious, and distinctly different in character.

The reason Amersfoort keeps growing is simple: location. The city sits at a national crossroads. The A1 runs east–west connecting Amsterdam to the German border. The A28 runs north–south from Utrecht to Zwolle. The railway station is one of the busiest junctions in the country, with direct intercity services to Amsterdam (35 min), Utrecht (15 min), Zwolle, Deventer, Enschede, Den Haag, and Hilversum. Distances in Amersfoort itself are small — you can cycle across the entire city in fifteen minutes.

For a moving service in Amersfoort, all of this works in your favour. The modern suburbs are spacious with wide streets and free parking. The centre is more challenging but compact. And the highway and rail connections make intercity moves fast and efficient in every direction.

Fuel: calculated separately based on local travel distance ≈ €8–€14

Amersfoort's internal distances are short. You can drive from Vathorst to Leusderkwartier in ten minutes. Most residential areas outside the centre have wide streets and free parking, which keeps loading fast and costs low.

We cover every part of Amersfoort. Here is what each area looks like from a van + driver perspective:

Stadskern (Centre) — the medieval heart within the old walls. Canal houses, the Muurhuizen, the Koppelpoort, cobblestone streets. Atmospheric but compact. Some streets restrict vehicle access, parking is regulated, and older buildings have limited loading space. Centre moves need advance planning for van positioning.

Soesterkwartier — a characterful early-20th-century neighbourhood north of the centre. Tree-lined streets, large houses, a creative community. Wide streets in most sections. Popular with professionals and creatives.

De Berg (Noord and Zuid) — an established residential area developed in the early 1900s. Spacious mansions, wide streets, large trees. One of Amersfoort's most desirable neighbourhoods. Van access is generally good.

Leusderkwartier / Vermeerkwartier — residential neighbourhoods south and southeast of the centre. Mix of housing types and ages. Accessible streets and practical parking.

Schothorst (Noord and Zuid) — built in the 1970s–80s around the large Schothorst park. Spacious family homes, wide streets, and an open layout. Affordable by Amersfoort standards. One of the most practical districts for a moving van.

Kattenbroek — completed around 2005, famous for its experimental and colourful architecture. Around 4,600 homes and 12,000 residents. Own shopping facilities. Distinctive character but practical streets. Good van access.

Nieuwland — built in the 1990s with a sustainability focus. Green roofs, solar panels, modern family homes in an open layout. Wide streets and straightforward loading conditions.

Zielhorst — between Vathorst and Schothorst. Predominantly family homes, spacious and green. Increasingly popular. Fewer amenities than Vathorst but quiet and well-connected.

Vathorst — the newest and largest residential development. Around 9,000 homes and 25,000 residents. Own railway station (Amersfoort Vathorst), shopping centres, schools, and sports facilities. Modern architecture, driveways, wide streets. The easiest district in Amersfoort for an efficient move.

Hoogland / Hooglanderveen — a former village now part of the municipality. Suburban feel with spacious homes, green surroundings, and a village centre. Easy road access.

Kruiskamp / Liendert — post-war neighbourhoods east of the centre. The most affordable housing in Amersfoort. Older buildings but accessible streets and free parking. Many homes have been renovated in recent years.

Amersfoort's position at the junction of the A1 and A28, combined with one of the busiest railway stations in the Netherlands, makes it a natural hub for intercity moves. People relocate to and from Amersfoort in every direction.

Amersfoort is growing faster than almost any city in the Netherlands, and the people moving here reflect that momentum:

Professionals commuting to Amsterdam or Utrecht — Amersfoort offers more space for significantly less money than either city, with direct train connections under 35 minutes. This is the most common profile among our Amersfoort customers.

Expats settling in the Utrecht region — the international community is growing, supported by the Utrecht International Center's recognition of Amersfoort as a key city in the region. Our English-friendly service removes the language barrier.

Families arriving from the Randstad — trading an Amsterdam or Utrecht apartment for a family home with a garden in Vathorst, Kattenbroek, or Hoogland. A move we handle regularly.

Families moving within Amersfoort — from a starter apartment in Kruiskamp to a family home in Nieuwland, or from Schothorst to Vathorst as family needs change.

Young professionals entering the housing market — Amersfoort is more affordable than Utrecht and the Gooi region, making it attractive for first-time renters and buyers.
