Binnenstad Kampen, Kampen
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Hofstraat sits right in the historic centre of Kampen, a stone's throw from the IJssel river. The 62 m² home dates from 1910 and has an E energy label, so heating costs will be something to factor in. At €265,000, the asking price is 37% below the neighbourhood average of €419,776, a keen entry point for a flat in this sought-after area. For context, the average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €4,663, and this home comes in well under that. Compare with other apartments in Kampen.
The neighbourhood Binnenstad Kampen is a dense, historic neighbourhood with 5,245 residents, mostly one-person households (1,880). It's a young area, 1,815 residents are between 25 and 45, and very urban, with an address density of 2,274 per km². One resident sums it up: "Nice neighbourhood, many places quickly reachable, but Friday and Saturday evenings a bit scary. With all those drunk people shouting and trying to steal our bikes, letting air out of tyres, stealing lights or puncturing tyres, throwing bikes over and once someone's car window smashed." The review is based on one resident's experience, so it's a single perspective. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of pre-war housing (97.7%) and a mix of owner-occupied (43%) and rental homes.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Aldi and Coop are a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Openbare Daltonschool De Engelenberg and IRIS Kindcentrum Marnix. For secondary education, Ichthus College is about a ten-minute walk. The train station is 1.1 km away, so a pleasant stroll or short cycle. The municipality Kampen offers a compact city centre with all amenities nearby.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Makelaarschap and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Nice neighbourhood, many places quickly reachable, but Friday and Saturday evenings a bit scary. With all those drunk people shouting and trying to steal our bikes, letting air out of tyres, stealing lights or puncturing tyres, throwing bikes over and once someone's car window smashed. All that and more by the restaurant opposite me. That stays open until 5 am sometimes/often while I used to have to get up at 5 and then couldn't sleep well.

About Hofstraat 23-03, Kampen
The asking price of €265,000 is 37% below the average asking price in Binnenstad Kampen (€419,776) and also below the median of €327,500. However, the apartment is smaller than average (62 m² vs 97 m²) and has an E energy label, which may affect running costs. Given the lower price per m² compared to the neighbourhood average, it appears keenly priced for a historic centre flat.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 49% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war building. The listing does not provide details on insulation or glazing.
One resident describes the area as nice and convenient, but notes that Friday and Saturday evenings can be rowdy, with drunk people, bike theft, and vandalism. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 304, but no breakdown is given. It's a lively city centre, so noise and occasional nuisance are part of the package.
Albert Heijn is 541 m away, Aldi 696 m, and Coop 787 m. For primary education, Openbare Daltonschool De Engelenberg (610 m) and IRIS Kindcentrum Marnix (685 m) are within walking distance. Secondary school Ichthus College is 891 m away. The train station is 1.1 km from the home.
The apartment was built in 1910, typical for the neighbourhood where 97.7% of homes date from before 1945. The building likely has traditional brick construction and may have original features, but the listing does not specify the state of maintenance or any renovations.
The asking price is below the neighbourhood average, which could mean a lower entry cost. However, the E energy label may deter some tenants due to higher bills. The area has many one-person households (1,880) and a young population, so demand for small apartments could be steady. No rental yield figures are available in the data.
