Rental prices and market figures for Braamkamp, Zutphen
Braamkamp is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 81% of the housing stock consists of owner-occupied homes, only 19% are rental properties. Of those rental properties, the majority are owned by housing associations (16%), while other landlords manage just 3% of the housing stock. This makes the free-sector rental supply in Braamkamp limited. Over the past twelve months, one property was rented in the free sector (excluding social housing), for a rent of €760 per month. Due to the low number of transactions, a reliable price per square metre cannot be calculated, but the €760 does give an indication of the market level.
The average WOZ value in Braamkamp is €288,000. This is higher than the average for the broader district Zuidwijken (€268,000), but lower than the municipal average for Zutphen (€311,000).

Living in Braamkamp, Zutphen
Braamkamp is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the southern part of Zutphen, part of the Zuidwijken district. The neighbourhood has a typical post-war character: terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached homes dominate the streetscape, built in the 1960s and 1970s. These are predominantly ground-floor homes with gardens, which makes the neighbourhood popular with families and older residents.

It is not a neighbourhood where you expect evening bustle or nuisance, but neither is it a neighbourhood with a lively shopping area around the corner.
