Living in Lochem-Oost, Lochem
Lochem-Oost is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the eastern side of the historic city centre of Lochem. The neighbourhood has a predominantly residential character with detached houses, semi-detached houses and larger plots, which explains the relatively high WOZ value. The buildings largely date from the 1970s and 1980s, with occasional later additions. It is not a typical urban neighbourhood with busy shopping streets, but rather a place where peace and space are central. The proximity of the countryside and the Berkel valley provides a green environment that is less common in more compact neighbourhoods such as Vesting or Lochem-West.

The neighbourhood itself has few independent facilities, but the Lochem city centre is within cycling distance. There you will find supermarkets (including a Jumbo on Zutphenseweg), primary schools, a pharmacy, GP practices and a modest shopping centre.
