This is noticeably lower than the average for the broader district Kamperpoort-Veerallee (€374,000) and also lower than the Zwolle average of €344,000. However, the WOZ values don't tell the whole story. Over the past twelve months, 15 homes have been sold in Kamperpoort, with an average selling price of €395,900. The range runs from €289,000 to €998,000, indicating that both modest apartments and larger homes change hands. With an average area of 90 m², the price per square metre comes to around €4,400.

Living in Kamperpoort, Zwolle
Kamperpoort is a true working-class neighbourhood, and you feel it as soon as you walk through it. The neighbourhood lies directly north of Zwolle city centre, wedged between the singels and the Veerallee. The buildings largely consist of older terraced houses and porch flats from the 1950s and 1960s, interspersed with some newer developments. The streetscape is compact and sometimes a bit greyer in tone, but the atmosphere is lively and direct.
The residents are predominantly young to middle-aged: the largest group is between 25 and 45 years old. Single-person households dominate, with around 900 of the total approximately 1,377 households. Married couples are a minority at 22%. This translates into a neighbourhood with many single people, students and young starters, alongside a group of older residents who have lived there for years.
In terms of amenities, Kamperpoort scores well. The neighbourhood has its own supermarket within walking distance and is a bike ride away from Zwolle city centre, where you can find shops, restaurants and cultural facilities. The Kamperpoortstraat and surrounding streets offer daily groceries close by. For schools in the area, you can turn to primary schools in the immediate vicinity, although residents rate education at 5.0 as the lowest sub-score, indicating that the choice is limited or perceived as less strong. Green space also scores moderately (5.4), which is logical for a densely built urban neighbourhood. There is a park or play area, but not in abundance.
Accessibility is good. Kamperpoort is a bike ride away from Zwolle station, which offers excellent connections to Amsterdam, Utrecht, Groningen and Enschede. Several bus routes cross the neighbourhood or run via the Veerallee. By car, the A28 is quickly reachable via the Veerallee. Residents give accessibility a 7.7, one of the higher scores.
What residents say about the neighbourhood varies. Several reviewers describe Kamperpoort as cosy and involved: "Friendly people, there for you and no regrets about moving here, a real working-class neighbourhood," writes one resident. At the same time, a more critical voice points to division in the neighbourhood, problems with drugs and homeless people, and an infrastructure that is experienced as inconvenient. The overall score of 7.0 based on 9 reviews reflects that dualism: there is real community spirit, but also visible social challenges. Safety scores an 8.0 and housing likewise, while beauty (6.3) and education (5.0) lag behind. Read all reviews on the Kamperpoort neighbourhood page.
Compared to neighbouring Veerallee, Kamperpoort appears a bit rougher and more urban. Veerallee has a greener and quieter character.

Keeps you busy... cosy mate but also a lot of mutual misunderstandings and vandalism, such a shame
Auto-translated to English by AINice to live there... always there for each other
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone is there for each other
Auto-translated to English by AIFriendly people... ready to help you and absolutely no regrets about moving here ..a real working-class neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AICohesion is gone, two community centres cause division and therefore far too little progress (or a lot of capital destruction), safety is limited and sometimes very unsafe due to drugs, addiction and/or homelessness issues, infrastructure is unclear, inconvenient (and this will get worse) and therefore unsafe or even dangerous. There is far too little green space, which the government should do much more about, very poor air quality and bad environment, far too hot in summers, there are no sports facilities, in recent decades a huge amount of business activity has disappeared due to local government policy or lack thereof. Plots that lie fallow for an extremely long time. There is far too little political involvement. Parking nuisance is enormous and keeps increasing, far too little enforcement, much crime that keeps rising, there is hardly any constructive building of social cohesion. Sometimes very narrow streets, sometimes hardly any pavements, there is no bus that goes through the neighbourhood (only along it). Far too little is done by politicians to look integrally at what is needed for the neighbourhood and to do something about it. All in all, this is becoming an increasingly problematic neighbourhood if not enough is done about it. There is too much youth care, too much student housing and too much elderly care, which also doesn't help build cohesion... Actually, everything could be better.
Auto-translated to English by AII've only been living here for two months and I find the neighbourhood very cosy! Most neighbours are super friendly and considerate. I've had quite bad living experiences in the past, so experiencing it so positively now is only a plus. The housing association also thinks along with you and is always reachable, which is also very nice. The city centre is less than 5 minutes away, which is also very handy! The cinema is next to the building, which as a film fan comes in handy too! Really a great neighbourhood! It's also reasonably safe and there's plenty of greenery in the area. Bus stops are also very close, which is very convenient. Hygiene is usually top-notch too! It's really a nice neighbourhood to live in!
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 1.5 years and it's cosy, close to the centre and within walking distance of the station. It's a nice new-build neighbourhood. I think Zwolle is beautiful anyway!
Auto-translated to English by AIGenerally a pleasant neighbourhood to live in, although there are increasing problems with homeless people hanging around because it's close to a supermarket where they often gather.
