Rental prices and market figures for Kamperpoort, Zwolle
Kamperpoort is pre-eminently a tenant neighbourhood: no less than 85% of the 1,377 homes are rental properties, compared to just 15% owner-occupied homes. About 55% of the total housing stock belongs to housing associations (social rent), and another 30% is owned by other landlords. This makes the private sector relatively small but active.

The range runs from €550 to €1,850 per month, with the average floor area being 43 m².

Through housing associations, rents are considerably lower, although waiting lists are long. The average WOZ value in Kamperpoort is €282,000, well below the Zwolle average of €344,000 and significantly lower than the district average of €374,000 for Kamperpoort-Veerallee.

Living in Kamperpoort, Zwolle
Kamperpoort is one of the oldest working-class neighbourhoods of Zwolle, directly south of the city centre, wedged between the Zwarte Water, the Willemsvaart and the railway line. The neighbourhood has an unmistakable character: small-scale pre-war and post-war housing, narrow streets such as the Veeralleeweg and the Bisschop Willebrandlaan, and a mix of porch flats, upper-floor homes and terraced houses. It is urban, compact and anything but anonymous. With 2,440 residents on a small area, you live close together here, and you notice that. Residents describe it as a "cosy working-class neighbourhood" where people are there for each other. One resident sums it up succinctly: "Friendly people, there for you and no regrets at all about moving here. A real working-class neighbourhood." At the same time, there is a downside: another resident points to problems with drugs and homelessness, and the feeling that social cohesion is under pressure due to divisions around community centres.
Facilities in and around Kamperpoort
Daily shopping can be done at the Aldi on Harm Smeengekade or the Jumbo in the city centre, both within walking distance.

Secondary schools and Windesheim University of Applied Sciences are within cycling distance. For sports, you can go to the Stilohal swimming pool (Wipstrik) and there are several sports clubs in the neighbourhood. Green space is the weak point: residents give the green experience only a 5.4. The Engelse Werk, the large city park along the IJssel, is fortunately a ten-minute walk to the north. More information about facilities and care can be found on the website of the municipality of Zwolle.

Keeps you busy... cosy mate but also a lot of mutual misunderstandings and vandalism, such a shame

Auto-translated to English by AICohesion is gone, two community centres cause division and therefore far too little progress (or a lot of capital destruction), safety is limited and sometimes very unsafe due to drugs, addiction and/or homelessness issues, infrastructure is unclear, inconvenient (and this will get worse) and therefore unsafe or even dangerous. There is far too little green space, which the government should do much more about, very poor air quality and bad environment, far too hot in summers, there are no sports facilities, in recent decades a huge amount of business activity has disappeared due to local government policy or lack thereof. Plots that lie fallow for an extremely long time. There is far too little political involvement. Parking nuisance is enormous and keeps increasing, far too little enforcement, much crime that keeps rising, there is hardly any constructive building of social cohesion. Sometimes very narrow streets, sometimes hardly any pavements, there is no bus that goes through the neighbourhood (only along it). Far too little is done by politicians to look integrally at what is needed for the neighbourhood and to do something about it. All in all, this is becoming an increasingly problematic neighbourhood if not enough is done about it. There is too much youth care, too much student housing and too much elderly care, which also doesn't help build cohesion... Actually, everything could be better.
Auto-translated to English by AII've only been living here for two months and I find the neighbourhood very cosy! Most neighbours are super friendly and considerate. I've had quite bad living experiences in the past, so experiencing it so positively now is only a plus. The housing association also thinks along with you and is always reachable, which is also very nice. The city centre is less than 5 minutes away, which is also very handy! The cinema is next to the building, which as a film fan comes in handy too! Really a great neighbourhood! It's also reasonably safe and there's plenty of greenery in the area. Bus stops are also very close, which is very convenient. Hygiene is usually top-notch too! It's really a nice neighbourhood to live in!
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 1.5 years and it's cosy, close to the centre and within walking distance of the station. It's a nice new-build neighbourhood. I think Zwolle is beautiful anyway!
Auto-translated to English by AIGenerally a pleasant neighbourhood to live in, although there are increasing problems with homeless people hanging around because it's close to a supermarket where they often gather.
