Living in Buurtschap Ommerbos-Ommerkanaal, Ommen

Describing living in Buurtschap Ommerbos-Ommerkanaal quickly brings to mind peace, space and greenery. This is not a neighbourhood with a village centre, a supermarket on the corner or a bus stop at the door. It is a scattered, rural settlement in the outlying area of the municipality of Ommen, wedged between the Ommerbos and the Ommerkanaal. Those names say enough: forest on one side, water on the other. The homes stand on spacious plots, often surrounded by meadow or forest edge, and the building density is low. You drive here past detached houses with driveways, barns and gardens that blend into the surroundings.

The neighbourhood has about 165 residents, spread over 57 homes. The largest groups are 45-65-year-olds and over-65s, each accounting for 40 residents. That fits the picture: this is not a neighbourhood where young couples or starters settle en masse. The percentage of married households is 56%, and most households are without children. The atmosphere is quiet and subdued, residents know each other and appreciate the privacy that the rural area offers.

There are hardly any amenities in the neighbourhood itself. For groceries, schools and other daily needs, you rely on the centre of Ommen, a few kilometres away. Ommen has an Albert Heijn, a Jumbo, primary schools and secondary education. The municipality of Ommen provides information on its website about municipal services and facilities in the region. By car, you are in the centre of Ommen in a few minutes. There is a train station in Ommen itself, with connections towards Zwolle. From Zwolle you reach the national rail network. Public transport from the hamlet itself is limited; a car of your own is not a luxury here but a necessity.

Residents of this hamlet appreciate the combination of nature and privacy. One resident described it as follows: "You really live out here, with forest and canal around the corner. No traffic, no noise, just space." At the same time, honesty is in order: if you are used to urban convenience or public transport, you will have to get used to the distance to amenities here. On the neighbourhood main page of Buurtschap Ommerbos-Ommerkanaal you will find all resident reviews and neighbourhood scores on categories such as green space, safety and atmosphere.

If you are looking for a comparison with other neighbourhoods in the area: Buurtschap Ommeres and Buurtschap Ommen ten zuiden van de Vecht have a similar rural character, but lie closer to the Vecht.

Does a home for sale in Buurtschap Ommerbos-Ommerkanaal suit you as a buyer?

This hamlet is most suitable for movers and seniors who consciously choose peace, space and a green living environment, and who are not dependent on public transport or nearby amenities. The homes are large and prices are high: with an average purchase price of over €700,000, buying a home in Buurtschap Ommerbos-Ommerkanaal is not an entry-level market. Supply is limited, homes rarely become available, and those interested would do well to be alert and act quickly. Starters or young families who want daily amenities close to home will be less at home here. If buying here is out of reach, there are also rental homes in Buurtschap Ommerbos-Ommerkanaal available, although that supply is very limited.
