Living in Krijtenberg and Noorder Koeslag, Olst-Wijhe

Krijtenberg and Noorder Koeslag is located on the western side of Wijhe, a village directly on the IJssel river. The neighbourhood has the character of a new-build estate from the 1990s and later: spacious plots, plenty of greenery in the streets, wide carriageways and a quiet atmosphere rarely found in an urban environment. Resident Saskia Hoogeveen sums it up succinctly: "Quiet, green, child-friendly, safe, friendly, village." That sums it up well.

The housing stock consists largely of semi-detached and detached houses with gardens. Terraced houses also exist, but there are fewer than in older neighbourhoods. The streets are spacious and there is relatively much public green space. The neighbourhood scores a notably high 8.8 for both green space and safety in resident reviews. Low crime is explicitly mentioned as a plus point by several residents.

In terms of amenities, Wijhe has a compact village centre with a supermarket, a GP practice, a pharmacy and a few shops for daily groceries. Primary schools are within cycling distance in the village. For secondary education and a wider range of shops, residents rely on Deventer or Zwolle, both about 15 to 20 minutes away by car. This explains the lower scores for amenities (6.4) and education (7.2): the neighbourhood is quiet and green, but for more urban facilities you need to take the car. Accessibility scores 7.6; there is a bus line towards Deventer, but the car is the primary mode of transport for most residents. Wijhe does not have a train station.

Compared to Wijhe Centrum, Krijtenberg and Noorder Koeslag is quieter and greener, but slightly further from village amenities. Peperkamp and De Enk has a similar village character but a different housing mix. Those looking for more space and rural surroundings might also consider Buitengebied Wijhe.
