Nunspeet offers apartments at compelling prices, averaging 15% less than nearby Apeldoorn while maintaining excellent connections to major cities. Located in Gelderland province along the Veluwemeer, this town of 26,892 residents attracts renters seeking affordable flats without sacrificing accessibility to Utrecht (52 minutes) or Amsterdam (68 minutes by public transport).

Unlike cramped city flats, Nunspeet apartments often come with outdoor space or proximity to the Veluwemeer waterfront. The town's position between forest and lake creates a unique rental environment where you can cycle to work in nearby towns yet enjoy evening walks along the water.
Apartment types: from lakeside flats to forest edge
Nunspeet's unique geography creates distinct apartment clusters. Lakeside flats near the Veluwemeer marina command premium prices but offer water views and sailing access. Forest-edge apartments toward the Veluwe provide larger spaces and nature trails at your doorstep.
Furnished flats (popular with expats)
Furnished apartments in Nunspeet typically add €100-200 to monthly rent but appeal to international professionals working in Apeldoorn or Zwolle who want a quick move-in. Many include outdoor furniture for terraces facing the water. For premium furnished options, consider luxury apartments in Zwolle if budget allows.
Two-bedroom layouts (most common)
Most Nunspeet apartments feature two bedrooms, appealing to couples or small families who work remotely or commute to regional business parks. These flats often include a balcony or small garden, uncommon in dense cities. Ground-floor apartments sometimes offer direct access to shared green spaces.
Search for apartments with 'eigen tuin' (private garden) mentions, these are rare gems in Nunspeet that offer genuine outdoor space, not just a balcony.
