Residents particularly appreciate the accessibility (9.0) and the greenery (8.8). Nathaniel Raap sums it up succinctly: "Facilities easily accessible, good neighbours, lots of greenery and safe."

In terms of amenities, Dalfsen has everything you need on a daily basis. In the centre you will find an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo, plus various specialist shops along the Prinsenstraat and Kerkstraat. There are several GP practices, a physiotherapist and Carinova offers home care and welfare services.

The town hall is centrally located, handy if you need to arrange something quickly. There are plenty of sports clubs, from football club SV Dalfsen to tennis club De Koerbelt and swimming pool De Welters.

Accessibility is one of the strongest points. Dalfsen station is on the Zwolle-Ommen line, with a train every thirty minutes. Within a quarter of an hour you are at Zwolle Centraal. One resident confirms: "Every half hour you can arrive here." By car, via the N340 you are quickly on the A28 towards Amersfoort or Meppel.

Outside the village centre, neighbourhoods such as Gernermarke-Oosterdalfsen and Pleijendal offer an even more rural living feel, while still being close to amenities. An honest point of attention: at night it is quite dark on many streets, although there are lampposts at every intersection.

Is Dalfsen right for you as a buyer?

With 46% married households and the largest group of households with children (2,390), Dalfsen is pre-eminently a place for families.

Starters must take into account an average purchase price of over €550,000, although there are entry-level homes from around €112,500. In addition to the purchase price, take into account transfer tax (2% or 0% for starters under conditions), notary costs and possibly overbidding, as supply is not unlimited.
