Leemslagen Zuid
Leemslagen Zuid is a residential area with a mixed population, where single-person households make up nearly half of all homes and a quarter of households have children. The age spread is even, with a good number of residents over 65 and a solid share of working-age people. The housing stock is mostly owner-occupied, with 47% of homes being bought rather than rented, which gives the streets a settled feel. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here comes from the statistics alone. It is a straightforward, family-friendly part of town, as described in [the Leemslagen Zuid neighbourhood]( /buurt/leemslagen-zuid-almelo/ ).

The Albert Heijn is just around the corner, about a five-minute walk away, and there are plenty of other supermarkets within a short drive, including a SPAR express and a PLUS. For school runs, two primary schools, De Huve and De Stapvoorde, are both on your doorstep, with several more within a ten-minute walk. The nearest secondary school is a bit further out, about three kilometres away, so older children will need a bike or a lift.

Frequently asked questions
About Zeven Bosjes 309, Almelo
Is €512 per month a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €512 is significantly below the average of €1,214 for rentals in Leemslagen Zuid, and it is the only rental currently listed in the neighbourhood. Given the floor area of 63 m² and the energy label B, the price is on the low side compared with the local market. This is a social housing rental, which explains the below-market rate.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. A B label indicates a reasonably efficient home, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only about its energy performance.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The Albert Heijn is about 392 metres away, which is roughly a five-minute walk. There are also a SPAR express at 1.2 km, a PLUS at 1.2 km, and an Aldi and Dekamarkt both at about 1.6 km. With 22 supermarkets within five kilometres, daily shopping is well covered.
Which schools are close to this apartment?
Two primary schools, De Huve and De Stapvoorde, are both about 200 metres away, so they are on your doorstep.

The nearest secondary school is about three kilometres away.
What is the neighbourhood like in terms of demographics?
Leemslagen Zuid has about 1,700 residents, with a fairly even age spread: 26% are between 25 and 45, 23% are between 45 and 65, and another 23% are 65 or older. Single-person households make up 47% of all households, while 26% are households with children. The average household size is 1.9 people.
Is this a social housing rental?
