Noorderwal 34B

A spacious apartment in the heart of Lochem

This apartment on Noorderwal sits right in the historic centre of Lochem, with the town's shops and restaurants just steps away. Built in 1996, it offers 98 m² of living space with an energy label B, so heating costs should be manageable. At €398,000, it is the most expensive of the five homes currently for sale in the Vesting neighbourhood and 19% above the local average asking price of €335,800. That puts it on the high side compared with other apartments in Lochem.

The Vesting neighbourhood

The Vesting is the historic heart of Lochem, with a population of around 820. It's a mixed area: many single-person households (315) and a significant share of residents aged 65 and over (320). Families with children are fewer (50 households), so the streets are generally quiet. The housing stock is mostly older, 86% of homes were built before 1945, and two-thirds are rental properties. No resident reviews are available for this neighbourhood, but the figures paint a picture of a mature, settled community. For more context, see the Vesting neighbourhood.

Life on the street

Daily errands are easy here. For groceries, you have Lidl (a couple of streets away), Jumbo (just around the corner) and Albert Heijn (a five-minute walk). There are two primary schools within a short walk: Prins Hendrik Daltonschool and Meester G. Propschool, both about 350 metres away. The train station is a 1.6 km walk, about 20 minutes, so commuting by rail is feasible. Restaurants are on your doorstep, and the library and a park are both within a ten-minute walk.
