Living in Nieuwland en Lentfert, Rijssen-Holten
Nieuwland en Lentfert is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood on the southern edge of Rijssen. Its character is typical of a post-war expansion area: spacious layout, plenty of greenery between the homes, and a mix of terraced houses, semi-detached houses, and some porch or gallery apartments from the 1970s and 1980s. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural highlights, but rather for a certain peace and clarity that many residents appreciate.
The population composition tells a clear story: the largest age group is 65-plus (455 out of 1,920 residents), followed by those aged 25-45 and 45-65.

This has implications for the atmosphere: it is generally quiet, there are few students, and nightlife is virtually non-existent. Those seeking peace will find it here.
