Renting in Wipstrik: a stable market with limited private-sector supply
Wipstrik is a neighbourhood where renting and buying are fairly balanced: 46% of homes are rented, 54% are owner-occupied. A large portion of rental properties is owned by housing associations (33%), while other landlords account for 13% of the housing stock. This means the private-sector supply is limited. Over the past twelve months, 43 private-sector homes were rented, with an average rent of €1,255 per month and a range of €540 to €2,500 per month. The average floor area was 92 m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing and rooms. For the current rent and available supply, please consult the overview at the top of this page.
The average WOZ value in Wipstrik is €369,000, clearly higher than the Zwolle average of €344,000. This reflects the neighbourhood's attractiveness, but also that renting here is not cheap. The average income of €40,600 per year is also above the municipal average of €37,100. Wipstrik thus attracts a somewhat more affluent audience than many other neighbourhoods in Zwolle. Those seeking social housing depend on a housing association property and must account for waiting times.
Wipstrik: a family neighbourhood with a quiet, warm atmosphere
Wipstrik feels like a neighbourhood that doesn't need to prove itself. The streets are tidy, the pavements are clean, and the area has a calm rhythm you won't find in every Zwolle neighbourhood. On the Wipstrik neighbourhood page, residents give the area an average score of 8.2 out of 10, with notably high marks for safety (9.4) and housing (8.8). These are no coincidences: the neighbourhood largely consists of family homes, there is little nuisance, and people know each other.
Ruben describes it aptly: "It's often quiet. It's always tidy. People talk to each other and there's hardly any nuisance." Kira adds a warmer tone: "We really have a cosy street. And there are always nice things at the community centre, where I volunteer myself. Our little neighbourhood is certainly something unique." That community centre plays a real role in social life, which explains why the score for community (8.4) is also above average. The score for education (6.6) is the notable exception, something to consider if you want to move to Wipstrik with children.
Wipstrik consists of two sub-neighbourhoods, each with its own character. In Wipstrik-Noord you'll find a bit more space and greenery, while Wipstrik-Zuid is slightly more compact and closer to main roads. Accessibility scores an 8.2, which matches reality: the neighbourhood is conveniently located relative to Zwolle city centre and the main roads towards the A28. Greenery scores a 7.8, indicating there are parks and gardens, but the neighbourhood does not have a pronounced green identity. For daily errands and amenities, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. The municipality of Zwolle has more information about amenities and accessibility on zwolle.nl.
Wipstrik suits you if you combine peace and community with an urban location
Wipstrik is most suitable for families and couples seeking tranquillity without leaving the city, and for the growing group of singles (1,475 one-person households) who want to live in a stable, tidy neighbourhood. Renting in Wipstrik in the private sector is not cheap: those looking for a rental home under €900 per month have little choice here. For buyers, the supply of homes for sale in Wipstrik is a logical alternative to consider. Students and people who want a vibrant nightlife on their doorstep are less suited to this quiet neighbourhood profile.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt is often quiet. It is always tidy. People talk to each other and there is hardly any nuisance. Many family homes and many young children. I am very happy with how tidy it is here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe really have a cosy little street. And there are always nice things happening at the community centre, where I volunteer myself. Our neighbourhood is certainly something unique. From all sides
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for 20 years now with my parents. My parents are the longest residents on our street. They've been living here for over 26 years now. I hope to take over this nice little house, and this cosy street and of course the beautiful neighbourhood, when my parents decide to leave the house. I've enjoyed it here for 20 years and I don't plan to give that up. I have so many memories here as a child. The wooden playground that is quite well-known in our neighbourhood, the community centre with fun activities. I became a volunteer there when I could no longer take part in the activities. That way I still participate a bit. And I do my bit. For example with NLdoet, King's Day, Jeugdland and maintenance of the playground, but also so much more. This was my little story that I wanted to share about my neighbourhood.
