Living in Boskamp: green, quiet and close to the IJssel
Boskamp is not a neighbourhood that stands out for busy shopping streets or urban amenities. It is a quiet, predominantly green residential area on the edge of the river landscape near the IJssel, with a population that largely consists of over-45s and pensioners. That sets the tone: quiet, little nuisance, little traffic. On the neighbourhood page of Boskamp you will find resident reviews and neighbourhood data. Residents appreciate the peace and green surroundings, but also point out that for daily shopping and more extensive amenities you are dependent on the car or bicycle to surrounding villages.
For daily shopping you rely on nearby Olst, which has a supermarket, a primary school and a GP practice. Boskamp itself has no shopping centre. Children go to school in Olst or in Wijhe, depending on the location within the neighbourhood. Sports clubs are active in the region, including football clubs and tennis clubs in the surrounding villages. Nature is the big asset: walking and cycling paths along the IJssel dike, the countryside with views over the floodplains and direct access to the countryside towards Buitengebied Boskamp.
In terms of accessibility, Boskamp is reasonably well connected for a small residential core. By car, via the N337, you reach Deventer in about ten minutes, which has the nearest train station with connections to Zwolle and Apeldoorn.
