Snipperlingsdijk 8

A compact apartment in Hoornwerk, Deventer

This two-bedroom apartment on Snipperlingsdijk sits in a quiet corner of Hoornwerk, a neighbourhood that feels more like a village than a city district. At 48 m² it is compact but efficiently laid out, and the 2003 build means modern finishes throughout. The asking price of €250,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €358,800, and there are only five apartments currently for sale in the area, so supply is tight. For context, apartments in Deventer tend to be priced higher per square metre.

The Hoornwerk neighbourhood

It is a mix of single-person households and families, and the housing stock is predominantly apartments built between 1990 and 2010. The area feels urban, the address density is over 3,000 addresses per km², but it is also green, with a park just a few streets away. The Hoornwerk neighbourhood has a low crime rate (23 total offences) and a strong sense of community, though no resident reviews are available to give a personal perspective.

There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Kindcentrum Rivierenwijk (a ten-minute walk) and Deventer Leerschool voor Basisonderwijs.

Source and availability

At the time of writing, the home is listed through two channels: Bronsvoord Makelaars and Bronsvoord Makelaars. The energy label is E, which is less efficient than most of the current supply in the neighbourhood, something to factor into running costs.
