Nice neighbourhood, feels safe to an extent. Only many of the houses are old and have their problems. What could be improved in housing is that landlords take complaints seriously and actually come to help.

Auto-translated to English by AIAssendorp is quite unique, the name of the neighbourhood says it all. It's a kind of village just outside the ring road and thus within walking distance of the centre where the city walls used to stand. It was originally built for many residents who worked at the railway, with social housing. The houses are generally small workers' cottages with authentic details and over 100 years old. Everything is geared to 100 years ago, but the social cohesion is strong and it's a cosy neighbourhood. The streets are narrow, which unfortunately means they are often clogged with modern cars (which are often bigger than years ago and there are many more residents with a car than when it was built). Residents are diverse, but the neighbourhood is very popular and no longer poor. If you want to get a house in Assendorp now, you have to be quick and bring a hefty sum of money. Residents are increasingly into greenery and one front garden after another is springing up. The sense of togetherness is strong and neighbourhood initiatives like car sharing and neighbourhood BBQs are very common. What is also unfortunately common is the sound of DIY from residents who want to expand their small house as much as possible with an extension or loft conversion. Running through the neighbourhood is the Assendorperstraat as a shopping street and traffic artery. Multifunctional centre de Enk organises many activities and the Azaleapark has recently been expanded. As a resident, I have lived in 4 other cities and also in another neighbourhood in Zwolle, but in none of those neighbourhoods do I feel as at home as in Assendorp!

About Assendorperstraat 69B, Zwolle
At €295,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Oud-Assendorp and 35% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €456,618. However, the floor area of 56 m² is 44% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 100 m², and the energy label E means higher energy costs. So the price reflects the size and efficiency, making it a relatively affordable option in a popular area.
The energy label is E, which is below average for homes in Oud-Assendorp, only 26.3% of homes have a label D or lower. An E label means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. It's worth considering potential improvements, but the exact costs depend on usage and future upgrades.
