Oud-Assendorp, Zwolle
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Groot Wezenland dates from 1923 and sits in the heart of lively Assendorp. With 138 m² of living space and an 80 m² plot, it is a spacious home in a neighbourhood where most houses are smaller. At €695,000 it is the most expensive of the 17 homes currently for sale in Oud-Assendorp and 52% above the neighbourhood average of €456,618, a price that reflects its size and rarity. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Zwolle vary widely, but this one stands out.
Oud-Assendorp is a unique pocket of Zwolle, just inside the ring road and within walking distance of the centre. Residents describe it as "a kind of village just outside the ring road" with narrow streets, old workers' cottages and strong social cohesion. One resident says: "The houses are generally small workers' cottages with authentic details and over 100 years old. Everything is geared to 100 years ago, but the social cohesion is strong and it's a cosy neighbourhood." Another adds: "Quiet neighbourhood, many amenities nearby, friendly residents, centrally located." The area is popular and no longer poor, "if you want to get a house in Assendorp now, you have to be quick and bring a hefty sum of money." Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores 7.34 out of 10. Most homes here were built before 1945 (90%), and the neighbourhood Oud-Assendorp is densely populated with a mix of singles and families.
For your morning bread, SPAR and Jumbo are both just around the corner, and there is an AH to go a couple of streets away. The Assendorperstraat, the main shopping street, runs through the neighbourhood. For school runs, De Jenapleinschool (primary) is a five-minute walk, and Thomas a Kempis College (secondary) is also within easy reach. The municipality Zwolle offers a wide range of amenities, and the city centre is a pleasant stroll away.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including De Graaf van Vilsteren Garantiemakelaars.

Nice neighbourhood, feels safe to an extent. Only many of the houses are old and have their problems. What could be improved in housing is that landlords take complaints seriously and actually come to help.

Auto-translated to English by AIAssendorp is quite unique, the name of the neighbourhood says it all. It's a kind of village just outside the ring road and thus within walking distance of the centre where the city walls used to stand. It was originally built for many residents who worked at the railway, with social housing. The houses are generally small workers' cottages with authentic details and over 100 years old. Everything is geared to 100 years ago, but the social cohesion is strong and it's a cosy neighbourhood. The streets are narrow, which unfortunately means they are often clogged with modern cars (which are often bigger than years ago and there are many more residents with a car than when it was built). Residents are diverse, but the neighbourhood is very popular and no longer poor. If you want to get a house in Assendorp now, you have to be quick and bring a hefty sum of money. Residents are increasingly into greenery and one front garden after another is springing up. The sense of togetherness is strong and neighbourhood initiatives like car sharing and neighbourhood BBQs are very common. What is also unfortunately common is the sound of DIY from residents who want to expand their small house as much as possible with an extension or loft conversion. Running through the neighbourhood is the Assendorperstraat as a shopping street and traffic artery. Multifunctional centre de Enk organises many activities and the Azaleapark has recently been expanded. As a resident, I have lived in 4 other cities and also in another neighbourhood in Zwolle, but in none of those neighbourhoods do I feel as at home as in Assendorp!

About Groot Wezenland 14, Zwolle
At €695,000, this is the most expensive home currently for sale in Oud-Assendorp and 52% above the neighbourhood average of €456,618. However, it is also 38% larger than the average (138 m² vs 100 m²) and a corner house, which are rare in this area. The price is on the high side compared to the market, but the size and type justify the premium.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In a neighbourhood where most homes for sale have better labels (only 26.3% are D or lower), this means heating costs will be high. The house dates from 1923 and likely lacks modern insulation. You should expect significant energy bills.
