Living in Holtenbroek II, Zwolle
Holtenbroek II is a typical post-war expansion district, built in the 1960s and early 1970s. The streets are spacious, there are many trees, and there is notably a lot of greenery between the residential blocks. Residents therefore give greenery the highest sub-score: a 9.3 out of 10. That is no exaggeration. The neighbourhood borders green strips and has several playgrounds, including a Johan Cruijff Court where young people can play football. Jeffrey Van den Enk, who has lived in Holtenbroek for almost ten years, describes it as follows: "it is very green here, with lots of trees and small woods for lovely walks."
The homes are mainly porch flats and terraced houses of two storeys with a roof. The construction quality is functional but plain, and this is reflected in the residents' score for beauty: a 6.0. The neighbourhood does not look spectacular, and some facades and public spaces show signs of age. If you are looking for a representative or recently renovated street, you would be better off looking around Holtenbroek I or Holtenbroek III, where the housing mix and appearance are sometimes slightly different.
Holtenbroek II is a multicultural neighbourhood with a young population. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years old, and there are relatively many single-person households. The community score is high: an 8.3. This indicates a neighbourhood where people know each other and where there is a certain social cohesion, even though it is not a traditional neighbourhood with a strong village identity. Education also scores an 8.3, suggesting that facilities for children are perceived as good.
For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. In the immediate vicinity there is a local shopping centre with a supermarket and a number of smaller shops.

Zwolle station is about a ten-minute cycle away. More information about the neighbourhood, including all resident reviews and neighbourhood data, can be found on the Holtenbroek II neighbourhood page.
Safety scores a 7.3, which is a reasonable score for an urban neighbourhood with a mixed population. It is not a problem neighbourhood, but neither is it a quiet suburb. Those seeking absolute peace and quiet will feel less at home here than someone who enjoys a bit of urban vibrancy combined with greenery.

I've been living in Holtenbroek for almost 10 years now. It's very green here, with lots of trees and small woods for lovely walks. It's also good for young people: a Johan Cruyff court for kicking a ball around, a large grass field for other games, and even a slide with other play equipment for the little ones. The flats in Holtenbroek have recently been renovated, which is a huge improvement! Only the hygiene in and around the flats and the bushes along the roads is downright poor. Rubbish bags thrown down from the flats, huge piles of waste by the containers, and unfortunately also a lot of litter in the bushes. Safety in this neighbourhood is downright poor; serious violent incidents like shootings and stabbings happen regularly. Some flat residents also regularly cause nuisance by playing loud music for hours, not keeping their dog on a lead, and sitting outside the front door, which can be intimidating. However, despite all the negative things, it has improved enormously compared to how it was before (yes, it could be worse, haha). We try to keep the flat and the neighbourhood clean by picking up litter or mopping the lift floor. Because it's a multicultural society here in Holtenbroek, you can regularly enjoy beautiful music bands (African) performing on the grass field next to the Johan Cruyff court. Or when you're sitting on the balcony enjoying the sun and a delicious smell reaches your nose because someone is cooking with wonderful foreign herbs somewhere in the flat. Conclusion: a lot of points for improvement for Holtenbroek, but a big step forward from how it was. I am satisfied.
