Living in Milligen, Zwolle

What residents appreciate

On the neighbourhood page for Milligen, there is an overall score of 9.2 out of 10, based on resident experiences. Resident Skip describes it as follows: "Best neighbourhood in Zwolle, it's a very good neighbourhood, see for yourself." The community score even achieves a perfect 10.0, which stands out. Safety (9.0) and green space (9.0) also score highly. Only housing (8.5) and beauty (8.5) lag slightly behind, but these are still strong scores. The low score on housing probably reflects the limited supply of rental homes in the private sector.

Compared to sister neighbourhoods such as Frankhuis or Mastenbroek, Milligen has a similar green and quiet character, but the rental price level and supply can vary greatly per neighbourhood. Breecamp is also a nearby neighbourhood worth comparing if you want to rent a home in this part of Zwolle.

Is a rental home in Milligen right for you?

Milligen is most suitable for families and people aged 30 to 55 who are looking for peace, space and greenery, but still want to live with good accessibility. The supply of rental homes in the private sector is limited: only 16 homes were rented out in the past year. That means you need to respond quickly when something becomes available. Make sure you have your documents ready (pay slips, employer's statement, ID) and clarify your rental budget in advance. For social housing, you can register with Openbaar Belang or deltaWonen, the housing associations active in Zwolle, but be prepared for waiting times. If renting doesn't work out, also check the supply of homes for sale in Milligen: with 70% owner-occupied homes, there is more choice in that market. Students and starters will find that renting smaller apartments in Milligen is limited; for that segment, neighbourhoods closer to the centre of Zwolle are often more suitable.
