Living in Ankummer Es, Dalfsen

Ankummer Es is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the western side of the village of Dalfsen, recognisable by its wide plots, low building density and open views of the surrounding landscape. The name refers to the ancient field landscape on which the neighbourhood was built, and that character is still palpable: the streets are generously laid out, the gardens are large and there is mature greenery along the roads. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural spectacle, but rather for peace and space.

The housing stock consists largely of detached and semi-detached homes, built from the 1970s and 1980s, with some newer construction from the 1990s and early 2000s. Terraced houses exist but are in the minority. This also explains the relatively large average living area of 176 m². Buying an apartment in Ankummer Es is not a realistic option; this segment is virtually absent here.

For daily shopping, you can quickly drive to the centre of Dalfsen, less than two kilometres away. There you will find supermarkets, a pharmacy, primary schools and various small shops. Within the neighbourhood itself, amenities are limited, although residents rarely cite this as a drawback. Children from the neighbourhood attend primary schools in Dalfsen centre, such as De Bonte Stroom or De Wegwijzer. For sports, there are opportunities at the VV Dalfsen football club and the tennis club, both within cycling distance. The countryside around the neighbourhood invites walking and cycling along the Vecht river.

In terms of accessibility, Ankummer Es is a car-oriented neighbourhood. The nearest train station is Zwolle, about a ten to twelve-minute drive via the N340. Zwolle offers direct connections to Amsterdam, Utrecht and Groningen. Bus services from Dalfsen run on the route towards Zwolle, but the frequency is limited. Anyone who commutes daily does so by car in practice. The connection to the N340 is easily accessible, and from Dalfsen you can reach the A28 within a quarter of an hour.

Residents particularly appreciate the neighbourhood for its peace, space and social cohesion. One resident writes: "You really know your neighbours here; it feels like a village within a village. Children play outside and it's safe." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited public transport and the fact that you need a car for almost everything. On the neighbourhood page for Ankummer Es you will find all resident reviews and scores per category, such as safety, greenery and amenities.

Compared to Dalfsen Centrum, Ankummer Es is quieter and greener, but has fewer amenities. Vechtvliet-Leemcule has a similar rural character but is even further from the core. If you are looking for a bit more urbanity within the municipality, you could also look at Nieuwleusen, which has its own level of amenities. The overarching district Dalfsen gives a broader picture of the owner-occupied housing supply in this part of the municipality.

Is a home in Ankummer Es right for you?

Ankummer Es mainly attracts families and home-movers who are looking for space and consciously choose a green, quiet living environment in the Overijssel countryside. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, and more than half of households are married. First-time buyers will find it difficult: with an entry price of €389,000 and an average of over €634,000, this is not a starter neighbourhood. Overbidding is realistic in this segment, especially on the popular semi-detached homes. Seniors looking for a larger home in a quiet environment will find what they are looking for here, although lifetime-proof homes are limited. If you are unsure about buying, you can also look at rental homes in Ankummer Es as a temporary alternative.
