Living in Nieuw-Assendorp, Zwolle
Nieuw-Assendorp is a typical pre-war and post-war expansion neighbourhood south of Zwolle city centre. Here you will find a mix of 1930s terraced houses, 1950s and 1960s porch flats, and a few newer apartments here and there. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural highlights, but it does have a recognisable, somewhat messy Zwolle character. The streets are relatively narrow, the front gardens small, and the buildings close together. The atmosphere is urban but not hectic: you can hear the neighbours, the schoolchildren, and occasionally a moped.
With 3,090 residents, it is a compact neighbourhood where single-person households dominate (745 of the households). The largest age group is 25 to 45 years old, which is reflected in the street scene: many young workers and starters. Only 28% of households are married, which fits the character of a neighbourhood with relatively many singles and cohabiting couples.
Amenities in Nieuw-Assendorp
You can do your daily shopping at Lidl and Albert Heijn on Assendorperstraat, within walking distance of most homes. Along the same street there is a dry cleaner, a hairdresser, and various small shops. Basisschool De Werkschuit is located in the middle of the neighbourhood, and there are several daycare centres in the immediate vicinity. For secondary education, you can cycle to Gymnasium Celeanum or Thorbecke Scholengemeenschap within five minutes. Sports enthusiasts can go to Sportclub Zwolle on Ceintuurbaan, and the Stilobad (indoor swimming pool) is a few minutes' cycle ride towards Wipstrik. Green space is a point of concern: residents rate the neighbourhood only 6.0 for this. The Assendorperpark and Ter Pelkwijkpark offer some respite, but truly spacious green areas are to be found on the outskirts of the city.
