House prices and market figures for Emmeloord-Centrum-Tussen Gracht en Vaart, Noordoostpolder
The owner-occupied market in Emmeloord-Centrum-Tussen Gracht en Vaart is clear but limited in size. Of the 1,234 homes in the neighbourhood, only 39% are owner-occupied, the rest are rental properties, a large proportion of which are owned by housing associations. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes in Emmeloord-Centrum-Tussen Gracht en Vaart relatively scarce. In the past twelve months, 13 homes changed hands, with an average purchase price of €323,308. The range varied from €229,500 to €519,500, with an average living area of 90 m². This works out at a price of around €3,590 per square metre. The WOZ value is €213,000, which is significantly lower than the district average for Emmeloord (€290,000) and the municipal average for Noordoostpolder (€310,000). This difference is striking and is partly due to the older housing stock and the high concentration of social housing in the neighbourhood. In practice, actual transaction prices are therefore considerably higher than the WOZ value. The current supply and asking prices can be found at the top of this page.
Living in Emmeloord-Centrum-Tussen Gracht en Vaart, Noordoostpolder
The name says it all: this neighbourhood is wedged between the canals and waterways that give Emmeloord its characteristic polder flavour. It is a quiet, somewhat restrained urban district with a strong central character. The buildings largely date from the 1950s and 1960s, when the Noordoostpolder was systematically developed. You will see many porch flats, terraced houses and smaller single-family homes, neatly arranged in rows along straight streets. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for spectacular architecture, but rather for a certain orderliness and tranquillity.
The location is one of its strongest assets. The centre of Emmeloord, with the De Deel shopping centre, is within walking distance. There you will find a Jumbo, an Albert Heijn, various specialist shops and eateries. The library and the town hall of Noordoostpolder are also nearby. For families, it is relevant that primary schools such as De Touwladder and the Almere College for secondary education are easily accessible, partly on foot or by bike from the neighbourhood.
In terms of accessibility, Emmeloord is not a public transport hub, but bus connections via the Urkerweg and Espelerweg provide links to Zwolle and Lelystad. By car, you can quickly reach the A6 via the N50 towards Lelystad or Zwolle, both about 45 to 55 minutes away. Cycling within the neighbourhood is easy thanks to the flat polder structure and the canals along the paths.
The neighbourhood has a distinct profile of seniors and single-person households: 795 of the 2,045 residents are aged 65 or older, and single-person households form the largest group. This colours daily life: it is quiet, there is a sense of social control, and the streetscape is less busy than in, for example, Emmeloord-Centrum-Oost or Centrum West. Residents appreciate the proximity of amenities and the green canal banks, but sometimes mention the ageing housing stock and the limited supply of owner-occupied homes as points of concern. One resident writes: "Everything you need is within cycling distance, the canals give the neighbourhood some breathing space, but the houses are in need of renovation."

Who is a home in Emmeloord-Centrum-Tussen Gracht en Vaart suitable for?
