Living in Verspreide huizen Eefde, Lochem
Verspreide huizen Eefde is not a compact residential area with straight streets and terraced houses, but a ribbon of detached homes and small clusters scattered across the rural area around Eefde, on the edge of the IJssel river and the Twentekanalen. The character is rural and quiet: spacious plots, plenty of greenery around the houses, little traffic on most roads. The homes are predominantly detached, with a mix of construction years ranging from older farmhouses and 1960s bungalows to more modern villas. This also explains the high WOZ values and the relatively high rental prices in the free sector.
Residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 10 for greenery, and that is not an exaggeration. Anyone renting a home here literally lives in nature. Reviewer Hez describes it as follows: "The nature is abundant and (often) it is simply left as nature." Walking and cycling routes through the floodplains of the IJssel are within walking distance. At the same time, the neighbourhood is not a place for people who want everything around the corner.
Facilities in and around Verspreide huizen Eefde
Daily shopping is done in the centre of Eefde itself, a short bike ride away. There you will find a small supermarket and basic amenities. For a larger range of shops, a GP or pharmacy, you drive to Gorssel or Zutphen, which is about ten minutes away. Schools are available in the immediate vicinity: there is a primary school in Eefde, and for secondary education there are several options in Zutphen and the surrounding area. Hez mentions in his review that there are "about 2 or 3 secondary schools relatively nearby." Sports clubs are active in Eefde and Gorssel, with football, tennis and other activities. A swimming pool can be found in Zutphen. Hospitality options are limited in the immediate area; for a restaurant or café you go to the village or city.
Accessibility of Verspreide huizen Eefde
Accessibility scores a 6.5 from residents, and that is understandable. By car, you are quickly on the N348 towards Zutphen or Deventer, and via the A1 or A18 you can reach the Randstad or Twente. Parking is no problem at all: almost all homes have ample parking on private property. Public transport is less convenient. There are bus routes in the area, but the frequency is limited and not all addresses in this scattered area are close to a stop. The nearest train station is Zutphen, from where you can travel directly to Arnhem, Deventer and Apeldoorn. For cyclists, the area is pleasant, although the distance to facilities requires some cycling fitness. If you do not have a car, you will find this neighbourhood less practical, something Hez also points out: "Great neighbourhood, unless you have mobility issues."

Auto-translated to English by AII really enjoy living here in the municipality of Lochem. Eefde is beautiful. The nature is abundant and (often) it is just left to its own devices. There are about 2 or 3 secondary schools relatively nearby and several primary schools. The community sometimes leaves something to be desired. People live here quite isolated; I don't know the names of some of my neighbours, or they have moved without you really noticing. The roads around us are intense; there is a provincial road running right through where I live, but it is what it is. And because of that road, we at least have a bus connection. However, the bus is not accessible (in the disabled sense). As soon as you have trouble walking, you can only take the bus in one of the two directions. This means you can only go to Deventer and only return here from Zutphen. The other side is not paved and not even maintained. This means you have to walk through tall grass on uneven ground. Barely doable with a crutch, and completely not (as in, really just Not.) doable in a wheelchair.
