Living in Rielerweg-West, Deventer
Rielerweg-West is a compact, mixed urban neighbourhood in the western part of the Voorstad district, directly adjacent to the centre of Deventer. The neighbourhood has an urban character that you notice as soon as you cycle through it: the Langestraat is the backbone of the neighbourhood and is a fairly busy through street towards the centre. Resident Maya Slot describes it aptly: "I live on a fairly busy street, from there you drive into the centre. There are many student houses and there is a square with supermarkets, a gym and a GP practice around the corner." That square is the beating heart of the neighbourhood for daily shopping and basic care.
The housing stock consists largely of older city homes and apartments, characteristic of a neighbourhood developed over the course of the twentieth century. The mix of student houses, family homes and apartments creates a young, dynamic population composition: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and single-person households, with 515 units, form the largest household type.
