Living in Holten: forest, tranquillity and a village that guards its own character
Those who live in Holten live at the foot of the Holterberg. That's not marketing talk, it's just how it feels when you take the dog out in the morning and five minutes later you're walking among the heath and forest. On the Holten neighbourhood page, residents give the neighbourhood high scores for green spaces, tranquillity and safety. A recurring theme in the reviews is the combination of a village atmosphere with surprisingly good amenities: "Everything is within walking distance here, but it never feels busy." That says something about the character of the village.
The centre, Holten-Kom, offers a complete daily amenities package. There are several supermarkets (including an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo), a library, GPs, dentists and a varied range of local shops and eateries on the Dorpsstraat. The same applies to schools: primary education is well represented in the village, and for secondary education pupils go to Rijssen or Deventer. Sports clubs such as football club Holten and tennis club LTC Holten are active and well-attended. The De Holterberg neighbourhood attracts people who specifically choose the wooded surroundings and villa area, while Holten-De Haar and Lukensveld are more family-oriented residential areas with newer homes.
Accessibility is a strong point that is regularly mentioned in reviews. Holten has its own NS railway station with direct connections to Deventer (approximately 20 minutes) and Almelo. Via the A1 motorway you are quickly towards Deventer, Apeldoorn or Almelo. Bus services provide regional access. Those commuting from Holten to the Randstad do so comfortably by train. A downside that residents sometimes mention: outside the centre, a car is almost indispensable, and the parking situation in the centre can be tight on busy market days.

The municipality publishes up-to-date information about living and amenities via the website of the municipality of Rijssen-Holten.
For whom is buying in Holten the right choice?
Holten mainly appeals to movers and families who are looking for space, tranquillity and greenery without completely letting go of the city. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, which is visible in the housing supply: many spacious single-family homes and detached houses. First-time buyers find it difficult: with an average selling price of nearly €460,000 and a limited annual transaction volume, competition is high and supply is narrow. If buying is not feasible now, the rental properties in Holten are an alternative to consider. When purchasing, do not forget the additional costs: transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers), notary fees and possible estate agent fees quickly add up to 4 to 6% of the purchase price.

Is buying a home in Holten also interesting for first-time buyers?
Honestly, that is difficult.

First-time buyers who still want to buy would do well to keep a close eye on supply and factor in additional costs: transfer tax, notary and possibly estate agent quickly add up to 4 to 6% of the purchase price. Renting a home as an intermediate step is a realistic option for first-time buyers in Holten.
