Living in Borculo: neighbourliness, nature and down-to-earthness
Borculo was named the most beautiful village in the Netherlands in 2017, and that is not just a title. Residents on Buurtje.nl give the village an 8.7 out of 10, with notably high scores for green spaces (9.3), beauty (9.1) and safety (8.9). Resident Gina sums it up aptly: "We know each other. You can count on your fellow villagers and especially your neighbours, whether it's for a small errand, walking the dog or watering the plants when someone is on holiday." That neighbourliness, that Achterhoek tradition of looking out for each other, is no empty phrase here but daily practice. On the neighbourhood page of Borculo you can read all resident reviews and see the detailed neighbourhood scores.
In terms of amenities, Borculo has what you would expect from a town with over 10,500 inhabitants. In the centre you will find an Albert Heijn, a Jumbo and various specialist shops along the Muraltplein and Hofstraat. There are several primary schools, including De Windroos and De Woordhof, and for secondary education you go to the Assink Lyceum in Haaksbergen or to Lochem. Sports clubs are plentiful: football club SV Borculo, tennis club De Berkel and swimming pool De Berkel for the lane swimmers. The Berkelpad and the surrounding coulisse landscapes offer kilometres of walking and cycling pleasure, something resident Marta confirms: "Because we live on the outskirts, it is very quiet here. You enjoy nature every day."
Accessibility is an honest point of attention. Borculo does not have a train station; the nearest station is Lochem (about 15 minutes by car) or Ruurlo. Bus lines from Arriva connect the village with Lochem, Zutphen and Groenlo, but the frequency is limited, especially in the evenings. Resident Jayden notes: "Nice neighbourhood, everything far away if you don't have transport." A car here is not a luxury but a necessity. Via the N315 and N822 you reach the A1 in about twenty minutes. Those who work in Zutphen, Deventer or Enschede should expect a half-hour to three-quarters of an hour travel time. For the neighbourhoods outside the town centre, such as the scattered houses around Borculo or the quiet Geesteren, this applies even more. More information about municipal plans and facilities can be found on the website of the municipality of Berkelland.
Is Borculo right for you as a buyer?
Borculo mainly attracts movers and families who prefer space, greenery and community spirit over urban hustle and bustle. With an average income of €33,400 and a labour participation rate of 67%, it is a working community. First-time buyers should take into account that the supply is limited and the average sale price is well above the WOZ value. In addition to the purchase price, budget for about 5-6% additional costs for transfer tax, notary and valuation. Buying an apartment in Borculo is difficult due to the limited supply in that segment. If you are looking for something more affordable, also look at rental homes in Borculo. Seniors find peace and social control here, although the limited public transport connection requires good planning.

Auto-translated to English by AISocial, compassionate, cosy and beautiful. A small village in Gelderland. We know each other. You can count on your fellow villagers and especially your neighbours.

There are no shops, only a local restaurant that the villagers use for meetings, parties or a cosy game of billiards.
Auto-translated to English by AIA lovely neighbourhood/village, where we have been living for 4 years this year. Immediately accepted as villagers. Helpful neighbours who are there for each other when needed. But also cosy, like raising the flag on special days... a street BBQ and in winter putting up the fairy lights under the guise of a snack and a drink by the fire pit. Neighbourhood kids who occasionally come to the door... "Do you have a biscuit?" Just a feeling of home on the street and in the village.
