Apartments, rooms and studios for rent in Apeldoorn

Apeldoorn apartments for rent make up most of the rental market in this Gelderland city of 160,047 people, built against the Veluwe forest rather than a river. Based on over 4,000 listings tracked on RentHunter since February 2024, 62% of rental homes are apartments and the overall average rent is €1,040 a month.

Imagine cycling from a flat near the Hoofdstraat into the Veluwe in a quarter of an hour, then taking a direct intercity to Utrecht in about 42 minutes. That pairing of forest and rail, with Paleis Het Loo on the north side, sets Apeldoorn apart in the region.

About 24 new homes appear per week on RentHunter (28 days to November 2026), and the latest listings go to renters who know their budget and reply first.

Apeldoorn's rental areas split between the shopping streets of the centre, the green west toward the Veluwe and the eastern districts along the railway to Zutphen.

Central Apeldoorn, around Marktplein and the Hoofdstraat, has flats above shops and newer apartment buildings within a ten-minute walk of the station. The centre suits renters without a car.

West Apeldoorn, toward Berg en Bos park and the Apenheul, has quieter streets and larger detached homes, a few minutes by bike from the Veluwe. The west suits families who want space and a garden.

De Maten, in the east of Apeldoorn, has its own stop on the line to Zutphen and mostly residential streets with family homes and apartment blocks. It suits renters who want quiet with a train close by.
