Living in Dorp Schalkhaar, Deventer

Dorp Schalkhaar is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its hustle and bustle or urban character. It is a green, relatively quiet village that is formally part of the municipality of Deventer, but in terms of atmosphere feels more like an independent village on the edge of the city. The housing stock consists largely of detached homes and semi-detached houses, mostly built between the 1960s and 1980s, but with some newer infill here and there. The gardens are on the spacious side and the streets are wide and well laid out. Oerdijk is one of the better-known residential streets, popular for its location and atmosphere.

Residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 7.8 out of 10. Accessibility and amenities both score a perfect 10, and greenery also scores high with a 9. One resident describes it as follows: "Oerdijk is a nice place to live, although I sometimes miss a bit of a real neighbourhood feel. But there is a neighbourhood app and everyone helps each other! We are very good friends with our immediate neighbours."

It is a neighbourhood where people stay for a long time.
