Binnenstad Kampen, Kampen
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Parallelstraat dates from 1905 and sits in the heart of Kampen's historic centre. With 103 m² of living space and an E energy label, it's a home with character that needs some modernisation. The asking price of €250,000 is 40% below the neighbourhood average of €419,776, making it a keen entry into the market for end-of-terrace houses in Kampen.
The neighbourhood Binnenstad Kampen is a dense, historic area with 5,245 residents and a very high address density (2,274 addresses per km²). It's a mix of students, young professionals and older residents, with many single-person households. One resident describes it as "Nice neighbourhood, many places quickly reachable, but Friday and Saturday evenings a bit scary. With all those drunk people shouting and trying to steal our bikes, letting air out of tyres, stealing lights or puncturing tyres, throwing bikes over and once someone's car window smashed." The nightlife noise is a real factor to consider.
For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Jumbo and Lidl a couple of streets away. Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Monseigneur Zwijsen-School and Basisschool Dr. H. Bouwmanschool. The municipality Kampen offers a compact city centre with restaurants, a library and a park all within walking distance.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including JIP makelaars Kampen and Funda.

Nice neighbourhood, many places quickly reachable, but Friday and Saturday evenings a bit scary. With all those drunk people shouting and trying to steal our bikes, letting air out of tyres, stealing lights or puncturing tyres, throwing bikes over and once someone's car window smashed. All that and more by the restaurant opposite me. That stays open until 5 am sometimes/often while I used to have to get up at 5 and then couldn't sleep well.

About Parallelstraat 28, Kampen
The asking price of €250,000 is 40% below the average asking price in Binnenstad Kampen (€419,776) and also below the median of €327,500. Given the 103 m² floor area, that works out at about €2,427 per m², compared to the neighbourhood average of €4,663 per m². The home needs modernisation (energy label E) and is from 1905, so the price reflects that.
Binnenstad Kampen is a historic, densely built city centre with a very high address density. It has a mix of ages, but many single-person households. The only resident review (score 8.13) praises the convenience but warns about Friday and Saturday nights: drunk people, noise, and bike theft. It's a lively area, but not for those seeking peace and quiet at weekends.
Albert Heijn is just 58 metres away on foot, so you can pop out for groceries in under a minute. Jumbo and Lidl are both about 757 metres away, a ten-minute walk. There are 12 supermarkets within 5 km.
Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Monseigneur Zwijsen-School (334 m) and Basisschool Dr. H. Bouwmanschool (347 m). For secondary education, Ichthus College Kampen is about 937 metres away. In total, 39 schools are within 5 km.
The home has energy label E, which is below average for the neighbourhood (only 2% of homes have label B or better, and 49% have D or lower). With a 1905 build, you can expect higher heating costs. The home is not insulated to modern standards, so improvements would be beneficial.
Kampen railway station is 1.1 km away, about a 14-minute walk. That's convenient for commuting to Zwolle or further.
The plot is 86 m², but the listing does not mention a garden. Given it's a corner house in the city centre, outdoor space may be limited.
