Rental homes in Amersfoort

Amersfoort sits in the middle of the country. Its medieval centre has the Koppelpoort water gate, the wall houses built into the old city wall and the Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren. Around that core the city has grown a great deal, with many newer districts.

Renters are often families and young professionals who work in Utrecht or Amsterdam but prefer to live somewhere a little calmer. Vathorst and Nieuwland are large newer districts with plenty of family homes. The Soesterkwartier, close to the station and the centre, appeals to people who like an older neighbourhood.

Amersfoort is a major rail junction. From Amersfoort Centraal, trains go to Utrecht, Amsterdam, Zwolle and further east, while Vathorst and Schothorst have stations of their own. Inside the city the bike gets you everywhere. If you commute, pay attention to how far a home is from one of the stations. That short distance shapes your daily routine more than almost anything else. RentQuick lets you save a search, so new listings in Amersfoort reach you by email.
