Living in Het Onderdijks, Kampen

Het Onderdijks is located on the north-eastern side of Kampen, directly bordering the IJsseldijk. The neighbourhood has a quiet, almost rural character, yet is within cycling distance of the city centre. Those who live here choose deliberately: for space, tranquillity and a neighbourhood where you know your neighbours. This is also reflected in the resident score of 8.1 out of 10, based on the reviews on the neighbourhood page of Het Onderdijks.

Resident Smitty has lived there for fourteen years and describes it as follows: "I have lived here for 14 years now and I like it very much. I have a nice unobstructed view of the road from the Molenbrug." That Molenbrug, which connects the neighbourhood to the other side of the IJssel, is a landmark for the area. The unobstructed view he describes is characteristic: many homes in Het Onderdijks are located along dike roads or open polder lanes, without the continuous development you see in more urban neighbourhoods.

The homes were largely built in the 1970s and 1980s, with some older buildings and newer infills here and there. They are predominantly spacious, ground-floor homes: detached, semi-detached and wide terraced houses with sizeable gardens. Apartments are rare in this part of Kampen.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is not very extensive on its own, but that is not what residents are looking for here either. Daily shopping is done in the nearby centre of Kampen, where supermarkets such as Jumbo and Albert Heijn can be found, or in the adjacent district. Primary schools are accessible by bicycle, and for secondary education you can go to the centre of Kampen. Sports facilities are plentiful in the surrounding area, partly thanks to the location on the IJssel and the surrounding countryside, which invites walking, cycling and water sports.

Accessibility by car is good: via the N50 and the connection to the A28, you are quickly on the motorway towards Zwolle or Emmeloord. Kampen railway station is about a ten-minute bike ride away, with connections towards Zwolle. From Zwolle, intercity connections are available to the rest of the country. Bus connections are available but limited; a car is not a luxury in this neighbourhood.

Compared to neighbourhoods such as Binnenstad Kampen or Hanzewijk/Greente, Het Onderdijks is quieter and greener, but also has fewer amenities. Compared to Kampen-Zuid, it offers more space and a higher average home value. If you are looking for more urban dynamics, you can also look at the broader supply of owner-occupied homes in the district of Kampen.

Who is a home in Het Onderdijks interesting for?

Het Onderdijks mainly attracts families and movers. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years old, and 44% of residents are married. With an average purchase price of almost €640,000, the neighbourhood is not accessible for most first-time buyers. Those who want to buy here usually already have equity or surplus value from a previous home. The high labour participation rate of 80% and the average income of €43,400 confirm that picture. Be honest with yourself: overbidding is not an exception in this segment, and supply is limited with 29 transactions in a year. If you want to be more flexible, you can also look at rental homes in Het Onderdijks as an intermediate solution.
