Living in Nieuwleusen Zuid, Dalfsen
Nieuwleusen Zuid is the quieter, more residential part of the village of Nieuwleusen, located in the municipality of Dalfsen.

The housing largely consists of single-family homes from the 1970s and 1980s, supplemented by some newer additions. The streets are predominantly quiet and green, with spacious plots and an open outlook towards the countryside.
The population composition tells a clear story: the largest age group is 65-plus (285 out of 790 residents), followed by those aged 45-65. This gives the neighbourhood a mature, stable atmosphere. Young families and starters are less represented, although families do live there. The high score for single-person households (175 out of approximately 411 homes) fits with the large proportion of elderly people living independently.
