Rental prices and market figures for Cellesbroek, Kampen
Cellesbroek is a mixed neighbourhood where owner-occupied and rental properties coexist. Of the 2,961 homes, 41% are rental properties. That rental portion consists mainly of social housing (31%), while private landlords account for about 11% of the stock. The free market sector is therefore limited, making supply scarce.

The average rented floor area was 103 m², which works out at about €10.65 per m² per month. This is based on a small sample of three transactions, so allow for some margin. For current available rental properties and the average daily price at this moment, see the overview at the top of this page.
The WOZ value in Cellesbroek is €264,000, which is lower than the district average for Kampen (€289,000) and clearly below the municipal average of €314,000. The average income (€30,600) is also slightly below the municipal average of €33,400. Cellesbroek is therefore relatively affordable within the municipality, although the free market rent still takes a significant bite out of starters' budgets. For rental properties elsewhere in the municipality of Kampen, prices are similar or higher, depending on the neighbourhood.
Living in Cellesbroek, Kampen
Cellesbroek is a spacious residential neighbourhood on the western side of Kampen, largely developed in the second half of the twentieth century. The neighbourhood has a distinct residential character: wide streets, plenty of greenery in public spaces, terraced houses and semi-detached houses alternate with porch flats and smaller apartment complexes. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but rather for the tranquillity and social cohesion that residents repeatedly mention.
Resident Henk van het Ende describes it aptly: "Spontaneous neighbourhood drinks, neighbourhood BBQ, neighbourhood app, social control, in short The neighbourhood to be!! Ditches, canals, so also a nature-rich neighbourhood. We have lived here for 12 years now, couldn't have wished for a better neighbourhood." Those ditches and canals are no minor detail: Cellesbroek has a green, water-rich character that you won't find in more urban neighbourhoods like Binnenstad Kampen.

Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood to live in. Child-friendly and reasonably spacious. Several schools in the area, both primary and secondary. The maintenance of green spaces leaves something to be desired; perhaps this could be addressed with a neighbourhood initiative? Downside: traffic driving much too fast on the Silene.
Auto-translated to English by AIIf you need help, just ask, we are there for each other. We have a nice neighbourhood. Cosy neighbourhood BBQ. Glad we live here.
Auto-translated to English by AIAll 'necessary' things within walking/cycling distance, yet quite quiet. Quite a bit of traffic, but not bothersome. Speeding above the limit does happen regularly. Otherwise no nuisance from dog poop / rubbish next to the container or the like. Parking is difficult though, many houses don't have a spot in front of the door.

Auto-translated to English by AII've only been living here for a short time, but the first impression is positive! Pluses are: social cohesion; spacious neighbourhood; plenty of opportunities to walk the dogs; nice, quietly located house. I haven't been able to find any disadvantages yet.
Auto-translated to English by AINo great homes. Lots of 80s, so without character but practical; like many 80s neighbourhoods in the Netherlands. Many rental houses in the area. Lots of nice people live in them, but (as probably in every neighbourhood) there are always sourpusses. For instance, there's a short-tempered resident who always acts very autistic about "her parking spot". She thinks her road tax counts more and covers that she can claim spots. Luckily, there are also many nicer older couples, young single ladies and gentlemen who are always up for a chat and there when needed. So the community is fine. There are plenty of schools of all kinds. The amenities could be better. There is greenery, but nothing special. There are still playgrounds, but a bunch have also been removed.
