Vollenhove, Steenwijkerland
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Kerkstraat sits in the heart of Vollenhove, a town with a friendly, small-scale atmosphere. With 66 m² of living space, it's compact but efficient, and the A energy label means low heating costs. The asking price of €289,000 is noticeably lower than the neighbourhood average, partly because the home is much smaller than typical homes here. For comparison, apartments in Steenwijkerland give an idea of what's available in the wider area.
Vollenhove has a mixed population, with many families and older residents. One resident describes it as "FRIENDLY BUT ALONE", adding: "Everyone is friendly to each other but there is nothing that connects them." That sums up the social feel: polite but not buzzing. The neighbourhood has a low urbanity score, so it's quiet and green. Average incomes are in line with the region, and most homes are owner-occupied. For more on the area, see Vollenhove.
For groceries, Aldi and PLUS are both just around the corner, so you can pop out for bread or milk in minutes. Two primary schools are a couple of streets away: Rooms Katholieke Basisschool Sint Martinus and Openbare Dalton Basisschool De Voorpoort. A day-care centre is also nearby. The town centre with restaurants and a library is a five-minute walk. For a wider view of the municipality, check municipality Steenwijkerland.

About Kerkstraat 9, Vollenhove
The asking price is €289,000, which is well below the neighbourhood average of €404,500. However, this apartment is also much smaller than average (66 m² vs 177 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €4,379, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €2,714 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium per square metre for a compact home.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home is well-insulated and you can expect relatively low energy bills. In the neighbourhood, half of homes have label C and half have D or lower, so this apartment stands out as being more energy-efficient than most.
The nearest train station is 20.4 km away, so this is not a location for daily commuting by rail. You would rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.
Based on one review, residents find each other friendly but note that there is little that connects them socially. The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many families and older residents, so it's a quiet, polite environment rather than a lively community.
Yes, there are several primary schools within walking distance. Rooms Katholieke Basisschool Sint Martinus and Openbare Dalton Basisschool De Voorpoort are both about 400 metres away. For secondary education, the nearest school is 10.6 km away, so older children would need to travel further.
At the time of writing, only two homes are for sale in Vollenhove, with an average price of €404,500. This apartment is the cheapest available, but also the smallest. The market here is not very active, with 19 sales in the past period taking an average of 33 days to sell.
