The Binnenstad-Zuid neighbourhood
Binnenstad-Zuid is a small, close-knit urban neighbourhood where many people know each other and a neighbourhood day is occasionally organised. One resident describes it as "an urban neighbourhood with a touch of green," noting that it is reasonably safe, though at the weekend people pass through on their way out. The same resident points out that amenities are very extensive because the neighbourhood sits near the shopping street, and that a bus stop makes it easily accessible. Housing here is a point of frustration, with few homes for sale and high rents on the ones that do come up. The neighbourhood is dominated by single-person households, and most residents are between 25 and 45.
Life on the street
Daily life here revolves around the compact centre. For groceries, the Coop is just around the corner, with a SPAR a couple of streets away and an Albert Heijn within a five-minute walk. For school runs, obs De Springplank is a ten-minute walk, and the Thomas a Kempis College is about the same distance for secondary education. The train station is a ten-minute walk, which makes getting out of the city straightforward. The municipality of Zwolle keeps the centre well served, so most errands can be done on foot.
