Living in Nieuwstad and Coehoornsingel, Zutphen

Nieuwstad and Coehoornsingel is one of the most recognisable neighbourhoods in Zutphen. Coehoornsingel runs as a green water feature along the historic fortification edge, with trees and characteristic buildings on both sides. Anyone living here literally walks over the former city moat. This gives the neighbourhood an atmosphere you find in few other places in the region: urban and historic, but without the bustle of the Stadskern.

The housing types are diverse. Along the singel stand detached and semi-detached houses from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with high ceilings, large windows and sometimes original details. Towards Nieuwstad you find narrower canal houses and former middle-class homes, some converted into apartments. Many buildings have listed status, which imposes rules on restoration and renovation but also maintains value.

Daily shopping can be done within walking distance. The city centre of Zutphen, with supermarkets, specialist shops and a weekly market on Groenmarkt, is reachable within five minutes on foot. For larger purchases, Stadscentrum Zutphen is easily accessible. Children from the neighbourhood attend primary schools in the immediate vicinity of the centre; secondary schools such as Isendoorn College and Baudartius College are reachable by bike.

Zutphen station is about a ten-minute walk away. From there, direct trains run to Arnhem, Apeldoorn, Deventer and Winterswijk. The connection to the A1 (towards Amsterdam and Deventer) and the A348 can be made by car in about ten minutes. Cyclists have it easy: the centre is traffic-calmed and the singels offer pleasant cycle routes to surrounding districts such as De Hoven and Waterkwartier.

The neighbourhood attracts many over-65s: more than 600 of the 1,530 residents fall into that age group. Single-person households are the largest category with 495 units. That says something about the character: it is not a typical family neighbourhood with lots of playing children, but a neighbourhood where tranquillity, cultural history and a certain urban refinement are central. Residents appreciate the location, the atmosphere and the proximity to the centre. A frequently heard point of criticism is parking: in the narrow streets around the singel, that is a daily puzzle. On the neighbourhood main page of Nieuwstad and Coehoornsingel you can read all resident reviews and see scores per category such as safety, greenery and amenities. One resident writes: "The singel is beautiful in all seasons, but finding a parking spot after six in the evening is a sport in itself."

Compared to the nearby Stadskern, it is slightly quieter and more residential here. Relative to Laarstraat and surroundings, the buildings are more monumental and the owner-occupied market tighter. The entire district Centrum - De Hoven has a similar urban character, but Nieuwstad and Coehoornsingel distinguishes itself by the direct presence of the singel as a green buffer.

Who is a home in Nieuwstad and Coehoornsingel interesting for?

This neighbourhood best suits people who consciously choose historic living in a compact, urban environment. Upsizers with a good budget and a preference for character over new-build will find what they are looking for here. Seniors who want to continue living independently with everything within walking distance also regularly look in this neighbourhood. First-time buyers have a harder time: with an average purchase price of over €628,000 and a lower limit of €235,000 for the smallest supply, the entry level is high. Overbidding occurs for sought-after properties. Keep in mind that listed homes come with higher maintenance costs.
