Living in De Vloedkampen, Raalte
De Vloedkampen is a quiet residential neighbourhood on the west side of Raalte, consisting mainly of ground-floor family homes. A large part of the housing stock dates from the 1970s and 1980s, with terraced houses and semi-detached homes being the most common types. Here and there are detached houses on larger plots, which explains the price range. The streets are green, with mature trees and a fair amount of space between the houses. It is not a neighbourhood with a bustling street life, but that is not what residents choose it for.
The population composition tells a clear story: the largest age group is 65-plus (365 out of 1,230 residents), followed by the 45-65 age group. Households without children form the largest category, and 51% of residents are married. De Vloedkampen attracts people seeking peace, space and stability. Young families and first-time buyers are less represented, though certainly not absent.
For daily shopping, the centre of Raalte is within cycling distance. There you will find supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo, a weekly market and various shops.

For secondary education, residents rely on the centre of Raalte or Deventer and Zwolle. Sports clubs are well represented in the municipality, with football, tennis and swimming facilities within a short distance.
