Living in Eeserwold, Steenwijkerland

Eeserwold is not an ordinary residential area. It is a planned residential enclave south of Steenwijk, directly bordering the golf course of Golfclub Eeserwold and surrounded by extensive green buffers. Those looking for a home here consciously seek peace, space and privacy. The neighbourhood consists of detached houses on spacious plots, some directly on or near the fairways of the golf course. The buildings are predominantly recent, with an architectural style ranging from classic villas to modern architecture with lots of glass and open facades.

The atmosphere is quiet and secluded. With 315 residents spread over 43 homes, the population density is extremely low. The largest age group consists of 45 to 65-year-olds, and more than half of households have children. That fits the picture: Eeserwold attracts people who are further along in their housing career and consciously choose a green environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood itself is limited, but that is intentional. Within walking distance is the golf course itself, including the clubhouse. For daily shopping, schools and other amenities, you drive to Steenwijk, just a few minutes away. Steenwijk has a full range of amenities: supermarkets, secondary schools, sports clubs and a cosy centre. Steenwijk railway station offers direct connections to Zwolle and Leeuwarden. Via the N334 and the nearby junction with the A32, Eeserwold is easily accessible by car. Zwolle can be reached in about 40 minutes.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace and nature on their doorstep. On the neighbourhood page of Eeserwold you can read what residents specifically write about the living environment. A frequently heard comment is: "You really live out here, but you're quickly in the city. That's the strength of this place." Criticism sometimes focuses on the dependence on the car for almost everything, and on the limited supply of homes that becomes available each year.

Compared to other neighbourhoods in the area, Eeserwold is in a category of its own. Centrum Steenwijk offers more urban vibrancy and a diverse housing supply, but lacks the green space. Torenlanden and Steenwijk West are more accessible in price but have a very different character. Those who want to combine space and greenery with a rural feel, but also explore other living environments, can also look at Kalenberg or Blankenham, two other green areas in the municipality.

Is a home in Eeserwold right for you?

Eeserwold is primarily interesting for movers and wealthy buyers who consciously choose a villa environment with lots of greenery and few neighbours. The combination of golf course, spacious plots and relative proximity to Steenwijk makes it attractive for families with children in higher income brackets and for over-50s seeking space. First-time buyers or buyers with a limited budget will find virtually nothing here: the average sale price of over €1.4 million speaks for itself. Also be realistic about the supply: only a handful of homes are sold per year, so patience is required.
