Living in Keizerslanden: an honest picture of a mixed neighbourhood
Keizerslanden is a large, diverse neighbourhood south of Deventer city centre. The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas, each with its own character. In Tuindorp you will find pre-war homes with small gardens and narrow streets, while Oranjekwartier and Rollecatekwartier feature more post-war construction. Towards the south lies Steenbrugge, which is greener and more spacious. This diversity makes it difficult to generalise about the neighbourhood.
Residents on the Keizerslanden neighbourhood page give the area a 6.9 out of 10. Accessibility scores highest at 8.3, and that is accurate: bus lines 2 and 5 of Keolis run regularly to Deventer station, about a ten-minute bus ride away. By car, via the Siemelinksweg you quickly reach the A1 towards Apeldoorn or Zwolle. Education scores an 8.0: primary schools such as De Cascade and Het Kompas are in the neighbourhood, and for secondary education, the Etty Hillesum Lyceum is nearby. Daily shopping can be done at the Albert Heijn on Laan van Borgele or the Jumbo at the Holterweg shopping centre. Sportpark De Middelwaard offers space for football and tennis.
But there are also clear points for attention. Community, green space, housing and beauty all score a 6.0. One resident writes bluntly: "Too much nuisance, loud music, noise. Speeding, children and adults. Neighbour quarrels." That experience fits the picture of a neighbourhood where social cohesion varies greatly from street to street. Safety scores a 7.3, which is reasonable but not outstanding. The average income of €31,300 is below the Deventer average of €35,200, and the labour participation rate is modest at 61%. Anyone buying a home here would do well to visit several times at different times of day to get a feel for the atmosphere on the specific street. The municipality of Deventer is investing in neighbourhood renewal, but the results are not equally visible everywhere.
Is Keizerslanden right for you as a buyer?
With an entry point around €165,000, buying an apartment in Keizerslanden is realistic for starters who want to stay in Deventer. The neighbourhood also attracts movers looking for a more spacious terraced house for under four hundred thousand than is possible in the Binnenstad or Zandweerd. Seniors can find ground-floor options in the Ludgeruskwartier. Keep in mind additional costs: 2% transfer tax, notary and valuation costs quickly add up to €5,000 to €10,000 on top of the purchase price. Due to the limited supply of owner-occupied homes (36% of the stock), competition can arise for popular homes. If you are flexible, you could also consider rental homes in Keizerslanden as an interim solution.
