Colmschate-Noord from the inside: family neighbourhood with rough edges
Living in Colmschate-Noord is not the same story for everyone. The neighbourhood has a clear family character: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years, but there are also relatively many households with children. On paper, that sounds like a quiet, stable area, and it partly is. But residents on Buurtje.nl are remarkably critical: the average resident score comes out at 5.6 out of 10. Safety scores the lowest with a 5.0. Resident IRMA writes: "Not safe. Many burglaries and many feel unsafe in this neighbourhood." Another resident, Ih, adds that the back gardens of the municipality have been poorly maintained for years: "A mess for many years." These are not minor irritations but structural complaints that you as a potential buyer should take seriously. More reviews and all neighbourhood data can be found on the Colmschate-Noord neighbourhood page.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is reasonably self-sufficient. There are primary schools nearby, which partly explains why education gets the highest sub-score: a 7.0.

Accessibility is reasonable, with a score of 6.5 from residents, which is the best sub-score. Colmschate has its own train station, Deventer Colmschate station, with connections to Deventer city centre and beyond.
