Homes for sale in Bant, Noordoostpolder

Purchase prices in Bant: higher than the municipal average

Bant is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 595 homes, no less than 77% are owner-occupied, compared to just 23% rented. This says something about the nature of the neighbourhood: people who buy here tend to stay. The average WOZ value is €370,000, which is clearly above the municipal average of Noordoostpolder (€310,000). This higher valuation is also reflected in the sale prices: over the past twelve months, 12 homes were sold in Bant at an average purchase price of €446,125. The range runs from €329,500 to €550,000, with an average living area of 152 m². These are predominantly spacious single-family homes and detached houses, as buying apartments in Bant is hardly an option. Supply is limited and the time on market can be short.

Living in Bant: polder tranquillity with a close-knit village feel

Choosing to live in Bant is a deliberate choice for peace and quiet. This is not a village that promotes itself, but one that simply functions well. The straight roads, open landscape and compact residential core give Bant a character of its own that you won't find in any of the larger settlements in the Noordoostpolder. On the neighbourhood page of Bant you will find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents particularly appreciate the tranquillity, the space and the sense of safety. A frequently heard comment: "You really know your neighbours here, and the children play outside without you worrying." Criticism mainly focuses on the limited range of amenities in the core itself and the dependence on the car.

Bant has a primary school in the residential core, which is a clear plus for young families. For daily groceries, there is a small local facility, but for a full supermarket offering you drive to Emmeloord, the main town of the municipality, about ten minutes away. Emmeloord has an extensive shopping centre, secondary schools and sports facilities. Bant itself has a sports club and offers space for outdoor activities in the surrounding rural area around Bant. The residential core of Bant is compact and well-organised, with a mix of older and newer owner-occupied homes along quiet streets.

In terms of accessibility, Bant is entirely dependent on the car. There is no train station; the nearest train stations are in Steenwijk or Lelystad, both about 45 minutes away by car. Bus connections exist but are limited in frequency. Via the N50 and N352 you quickly reach regional roads and towards the A6, making Zwolle and Lelystad reachable within three-quarters of an hour. For those who commute daily to a large city, this is a point to consider. More about the municipality can be found on the page of Noordoostpolder or on the website of the municipality of Noordoostpolder.
