What does renting cost in Diezerpoort compared to the rest of Zwolle?
Anyone looking at the housing market in this neighbourhood immediately sees a clear pattern: Diezerpoort is a true renter's neighbourhood. As much as 75% of the housing stock consists of rental properties, which is significantly higher than in many surrounding neighbourhoods. Of these rental properties, the majority (56%) fall under housing associations, meaning social housing is strongly represented here. Yet there is also a fair amount of supply for those looking in the private sector, with 20% of the stock.
When we look at prices, we see that renting a house in Diezerpoort is often slightly more affordable than in the posher parts of the city. The average WOZ value here is €236,000, considerably lower than the Zwolle average of €344,000. However, this is not always directly reflected in private sector rental prices. Over the past 12 months, the average rent in the private sector (excluding social housing) was €1,118 per month, with outliers up to €2,800 for larger properties. In return, you get an average compact home of 55m². For starters or single-person households considering renting an apartment, this is often a good entry point, although the price per square metre can be steep.
City bustle or quiet streets: how do residents experience Diezerpoort?
Diezerpoort is not a run-of-the-mill neighbourhood; it is an area with two faces. On one hand, you have the liveliness around Thomas a Kempisstraat and the areas close to the city centre; on the other, you find quieter residential streets. Residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 6.8 on Buurtje.nl. That sounds like a bare pass, but when you zoom in on the reviews, a more nuanced picture emerges. For instance, resident Yannick describes the neighbourhood as "very busy" (score 6.4), but immediately adds that it is "a nice neighbourhood where many small children and elderly people live". He notes that street violence could be reduced, a fair point of criticism to consider.
Yet this bustle is not the norm everywhere. Frits, another resident, rates his experience an 8.0 and calls it a "quiet neighbourhood". This contrast is typical of Diezerpoort: in de Indischebuurt, parking pressure and liveliness can be high, while in Hogenkamp or Het Noorden you find more greenery and peace. Nina (score 7.3) hits the nail on the head about the location: "It is a beautiful neighbourhood close to the city, but also close to the nature of Berkum." That is the strength of renting in Diezerpoort: you can cycle into the city centre in no time, but you are also quickly at the Vecht.
An important point of attention is safety and social cohesion. Jurre Kamp calls it a "fine working-class neighbourhood" and gives a 7.1, but honestly mentions that his bike was stolen from the shed when he first moved in. Apart from that, he has little trouble.

Accessibility also scores well with a 7.6, which is logical given its location relative to the A28 and the city centre.
