Holtenbroek II, Zwolle
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Beethovenlaan sits in Holtenbroek, a neighbourhood that's greener than you might expect. With lots of trees, small woods and a Johan Cruyff court, there's plenty of outdoor space for young and old. The flat itself has recently been renovated, which residents say is a huge improvement. At €274,000, the asking price is in line with the average for apartments in Zwolle.
Residents describe Holtenbroek as a "green multi-culti neighbourhood" that's "warm" and "cosy", though safety is a concern. One resident who has lived here for 37 years says they "will always live there with great pleasure". Another notes that "serious violent incidents like shootings and stabbings happen regularly" and that rubbish is a problem, but also that "it has improved enormously compared to how it was before". The neighbourhood Holtenbroek II is home to many young people and singles, with a mix of cultures that brings African music performances and wonderful cooking smells.
For your morning bread, Jumbo and Lidl are just around the corner. The Michaelschool and Buitenwijs primary schools are a couple of streets away, making the school run a short walk. The neighbourhood has a park or garden on your doorstep, perfect for a stroll. The municipality Zwolle is well connected, with a train station a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via BoertjesHorst makelaardij and also appears on Funda.

I've been living in Holtenbroek for almost 10 years now. It's very green here, with lots of trees and small woods for lovely walks. It's also good for young people: a Johan Cruyff court for kicking a ball around, a large grass field for other games, and even a slide with other play equipment for the little ones. The flats in Holtenbroek have recently been renovated, which is a huge improvement! Only the hygiene in and around the flats and the bushes along the roads is downright poor. Rubbish bags thrown down from the flats, huge piles of waste by the containers, and unfortunately also a lot of litter in the bushes. Safety in this neighbourhood is downright poor; serious violent incidents like shootings and stabbings happen regularly. Some flat residents also regularly cause nuisance by playing loud music for hours, not keeping their dog on a lead, and sitting outside the front door, which can be intimidating. However, despite all the negative things, it has improved enormously compared to how it was before (yes, it could be worse, haha). We try to keep the flat and the neighbourhood clean by picking up litter or mopping the lift floor. Because it's a multicultural society here in Holtenbroek, you can regularly enjoy beautiful music bands (African) performing on the grass field next to the Johan Cruyff court. Or when you're sitting on the balcony enjoying the sun and a delicious smell reaches your nose because someone is cooking with wonderful foreign herbs somewhere in the flat. Conclusion: a lot of points for improvement for Holtenbroek, but a big step forward from how it was. I am satisfied.

About Beethovenlaan 616, Zwolle
The asking price of €274,000 is very close to the neighbourhood average of €272,938 and the median of €275,000. With 74 m², that works out to about €3,703 per m², which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €3,781 per m². So it's priced in line with the market.
The apartment has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient, but not top of the range. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label C, while 41.7% have a lower label (D or worse). So this home is better than many in the area, but you'll still have moderate energy costs.
Residents give mixed reviews. One says safety is "downright poor" with regular violent incidents, while another who has lived here 37 years is happy. The neighbourhood recorded 191 total crimes, which is relatively high. However, residents also note improvements and a strong community spirit.
The neighbourhood is multicultural and young, with many singles and families. Residents describe it as "warm" and "cosy", though some mention noise from loud music and dogs off leads. The community is active in keeping the area clean, and you'll often hear African music or smell exotic cooking.
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's a bit further than ideal, but the neighbourhood has good bus connections if you don't want to cycle.
There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Buitenwijs (354 m), Michaelschool (384 m), and Het Carillon (460 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1 km away. So it's convenient for families with young children.
