Living in De Kampen, Raalte
De Kampen is a quiet, predominantly green residential neighbourhood on the edge of the village of Heino, in the municipality of Raalte. The neighbourhood has a village character with spacious plots, plenty of greenery between the houses and little traffic on the residential streets themselves. The streetscape is defined by detached houses and semi-detached houses, largely built in the 1980s and 1990s. You won't see any high-rise or urban development here: it is a neighbourhood where people consciously choose peace and space.
The age structure of De Kampen immediately tells you something about the character of the neighbourhood. The largest group of residents is 65-plus (over 415 people), followed by the 45-65 age group. This makes De Kampen a neighbourhood where it is quiet during the day, neighbours know each other and social cohesion is palpable. Young families are also present, but form a smaller group. Children from the neighbourhood attend De Regenboog primary school in Heino, within cycling distance. For secondary education, residents rely on Raalte or Zwolle.
Daily shopping is done in the centre of Heino, a few minutes' cycle away. There you will find a supermarket, a bakery and a number of small shops. For a larger range of shops, you drive to Raalte, about ten minutes by car. In terms of sports, the area offers plenty: football club SV Heino is nearby, and the Sallandse heuvelrug is a short distance away for walkers and cyclists.
In terms of accessibility, De Kampen depends on the car or bicycle. There are bus services towards Raalte and Zwolle, but the frequency is limited. By car, via the N35 you quickly reach the A28 towards Zwolle (about 20 minutes). Raalte train station is the nearest, from where you can travel by train to Zwolle or Almelo.

Residents appreciate the peace and space that De Kampen offers. On the neighbourhood main page of De Kampen you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "It's wonderfully quiet here, you know your neighbours and nature is around the corner. But for everything you need, you still have to take the car." The latter is a recurring point: the neighbourhood is green and quiet, but not self-sufficient. Those used to urban convenience should take that into account.
Compared to neighbouring communities such as Heino Centrum, where you live closer to amenities, or Buitengebied Heino, which is even more rural, De Kampen sits in between in character: village-like but not remote. Also Kiezebos and Blankenfoort are nearby neighbourhoods worth comparing if you are considering buying in this area.
Who is a home to buy in De Kampen suitable for?
De Kampen mainly attracts people who consciously choose peace, space and a safe, clear living environment. Based on the demographic composition, the neighbourhood suits over-55s and people who are ready for a quieter phase of life, but also families who want to live spaciously without having to go into the city. Starters find it difficult here: the average purchase price of €426,700 is a significant hurdle for most starters, and supply is limited. If you are unsure about buying, you can also look at rental homes in De Kampen as an alternative. Be honest with yourself: without a car, living in De Kampen is less practical, and supply changes quickly due to limited housing turnover.
