Living in Hanzepark, Lelystad

Hanzepark is a quiet, predominantly green neighbourhood on the north side of Lelystad, built in the 1980s and 1990s. The streets are wide, there is plenty of space between the houses, and greenery is not an afterthought but a deliberate choice in the layout of the neighbourhood. You will find detached houses, semi-detached houses and larger terraced houses, often with a sizeable garden. It is not a neighbourhood you drive through by chance; Hanzepark has its own, enclosed character that provides peace but also some distance from the hustle and bustle of the centre.

The neighbourhood has nearly 1,950 residents, and the largest age group is 65-plus, with 545 residents. This is noticeable in the atmosphere: it is quiet, the streets are well-maintained, and social cohesion is strong. At the same time, there is also an active group of 25-45-year-olds (495 people), giving the neighbourhood a certain mix. Single-person households are the most common household type, although 39% of residents are married. The education level is relatively high: 37% have completed higher education.

In terms of amenities, Hanzepark is well-equipped for a neighbourhood of this size. Within walking distance you will find a neighbourhood shopping centre with a supermarket, a GP and a few smaller shops. For a larger range of shops, the city centre of Lelystad is reachable by bicycle in about ten minutes. Primary schools are located in the immediate vicinity; for secondary education, children rely on schools elsewhere in Lelystad. The nearby Boswijk offers extensive walking and cycling opportunities in a wooded environment, which many residents consider a major plus.

Accessibility by car is good thanks to the proximity of the N302 and the connection to the A6 towards Amsterdam and Zwolle. By bicycle or bus, you can reach the centre and Lelystad Centrum railway station in a quarter of an hour, from where Intercity trains run to Amsterdam and Zwolle. Residents describe the neighbourhood as pleasant and green, but sometimes point out the limited night-time public transport. One resident writes: "It is wonderfully quiet and green here, but if you don't have a car in the evening, you are somewhat limited in your freedom of movement." On the Hanzepark neighbourhood page you can read more experiences and scores from residents.

Compared to sister neighbourhoods such as Kogge and Schouw, Hanzepark has on average larger homes and higher prices. If you are looking for a more compact home or have a slightly lower budget, you could also look at Kempenaar Oost or Gondel.

Who is a home in Hanzepark interesting for?

Hanzepark mainly attracts movers and seniors who value space, peace and greenery over urban vibrancy. The higher WOZ value and an average purchase price of over €530,000 make the neighbourhood less accessible for first-time buyers.

Be prepared for a tight market: only 11 homes changed hands in the past year, meaning you need to be able to act quickly. For those unsure whether buying is the right move at this time, the rental properties in Hanzepark offer an alternative to get to know the neighbourhood first.
