A classic Zwolle apartment with character
Nieuwstraat 12A sits in the heart of Zwolle's historic Binnenstad-Noord, a lively inner-city area where the streets have real character. This 1927 apartment offers 92 square metres of living space, which is 53% larger than the neighbourhood average of 60 square metres. At €350,000, the asking price worked out at €3,804 per square metre, which was on the high side compared with the average of €6,487 per square metre for apartments in Zwolle. The energy label was E, so expect higher energy costs than you might like. This home has not been online since 15 September 2026.
The apartment itself
The listing gave no details about the layout, number of bedrooms or bathrooms, or any outdoor space. What is clear is that this is a spacious apartment for the area, built in 1927. The energy label E was the least efficient label, which meant heating bills would be a significant monthly cost. Beyond the living area and the year of construction, the agent provided no further information about the property.

Frequently asked questions
About Nieuwstraat 12A, Zwolle
How did the asking price compare with other homes in the neighbourhood?
