Living in Noordenbergkwartier, Deventer
Noordenbergkwartier lies in the heart of Deventer's historic city centre, wedged between Noordenbergstraat, the city canals and the IJsselkade. Living here means living in a neighbourhood you won't soon forget: narrow streets, medieval facades, courtyards you only notice when you've almost walked past them. The buildings largely date from the Middle Ages and the nineteenth century, supplemented by occasional twentieth-century infill. That means character, but also older foundations, high heating costs in poorly insulated properties and limited parking on the street itself. The average gas consumption of 1,000 m³ per year is relatively low for an inner-city neighbourhood, suggesting that some homes have been renovated or made more sustainable in recent years.
The neighbourhood is urban but not busy in the way a shopping area is. During the day there is movement from cyclists, students and commuters; in the evening it is quieter than you would expect in a city centre. Noordenbergstraat itself has a mix of small shops, eateries and craft businesses. Large supermarkets, such as Albert Heijn on Keizerstraat or Jumbo near Grote Kerkhof, are within walking distance. For daily errands you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. The Brink, Deventer's historic heart with a weekly market on Fridays and Saturdays, is less than a ten-minute walk away.
Accessibility is a strong point. Deventer Station is about a fifteen-minute bike ride away, with direct connections to Zutphen, Apeldoorn, Almelo and Utrecht. Several bus lines stop on the Singel and at Keizerstraat. By car, you can quickly reach the N344 towards the A1 and A18 via the Singel. Parking in the neighbourhood itself is limited and paid; a parking permit is available for residents, but waiting lists can be long. The bicycle is by far the most practical means of transport here.
The neighbourhood has 835 residents, with a notably large group aged 45 to 65 (240 people) and relatively many single-person households (365 of the households). Families with young children are in the minority, which also fits the urban character and the limited supply of large ground-floor homes. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity can be found in adjacent neighbourhoods such as the Bergkwartier or the Raambuurt. Residents appreciate the authenticity and central location. On the neighbourhood main page of the Noordenbergkwartier you can read all resident reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "You literally live in the history of Deventer here, every street has a story. But park your car somewhere else." That sums it up well: the neighbourhood gives a lot, but also demands adaptation of your lifestyle. Compare this with the adjacent Noordenbergsingel or the Centrum, then Noordenbergkwartier is slightly more intimate and less commercial in character.
Who is a home for sale in Noordenbergkwartier interesting for?
Buying in Noordenbergkwartier is especially attractive for people who consciously choose historic living in a compact, urban environment: singles, couples without children, or people who have their workplace in the city. The high education level (46% highly educated) and the relatively low percentage of married people (22%) confirm that picture. Be honest with yourself about the downsides: supply is small (seven sales in a year), prices rise sharply for larger homes, and overbidding is no exception in this segment. Starters with a limited budget will find few entry-level homes under three hundred thousand. Also consider the rental properties in Noordenbergkwartier as an alternative, because the rental market share is large and offers more choice in this specific part of the city.
What residents say about Noordenbergkwartier
Residents rate Noordenbergkwartier positively on average, with the highest scores for atmosphere, location and authenticity. Less positive points are parking and the limited green space in the immediate vicinity. One resident describes it as: "Quiet for a city centre, but everything is close by. I cycle to the station in ten minutes and walk to the market. The only thing I miss is a park around the corner." All reviews, sub-scores per category and the total score can be found on the page of the Noordenbergkwartier.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cost of a home in Noordenbergkwartier?
Over the past twelve months, the average purchase price in Noordenbergkwartier was €531,429, with an average living area of 119 m². This amounts to approximately €4,466 per square metre. The range varied from €295,000 to €895,000, depending on the type, condition and location of the property. The total number of transactions was low (seven in a year), so individual sales can significantly affect the average.
What is the WOZ value in Noordenbergkwartier?
The average WOZ value in Noordenbergkwartier is €323,000. This is almost equal to the Deventer average of €324,000 and slightly above the average of the wider Binnenstad district (€320,000). The WOZ value indicates the fiscal valuation of homes, but in this neighbourhood it deviates considerably from the actual transaction prices, which are significantly higher.
What is it like to live in Noordenbergkwartier?
Living in Noordenbergkwartier means living in a historic inner-city neighbourhood with narrow streets, old façades and a quiet atmosphere despite its central location. Residents appreciate the authenticity, the proximity to the Brink and the good accessibility by bicycle. Drawbacks mentioned in reviews include limited parking availability and a lack of green space directly in the neighbourhood. The area is popular among singles and couples in the 45-65 age group.
Is Noordenbergkwartier suitable for first-time buyers or families?
Noordenbergkwartier is less obvious for families with young children: large ground-floor homes are scarce and the neighbourhood has relatively few children (65 residents under 15 years old). For first-time buyers, the entry level is high; the lowest sale price in the past year was €295,000. The neighbourhood is best suited to singles, couples or people who consciously choose urban living with historic charm.
How accessible is Noordenbergkwartier?
Deventer station is about a fifteen-minute bike ride away, with train connections to, among others, Utrecht, Apeldoorn and Almelo. Several bus routes run via the Singel and the Keizerstraat. By car, the connection to the N344 and then the A1 and A18 is quickly reached via the Singel. Parking in the neighbourhood itself is limited and paid; resident permits are available but sometimes have waiting times. Cycling is the most practical way to get around in and around the neighbourhood.
What type of homes are for sale in Noordenbergkwartier?
The supply mainly consists of historic properties: canal houses, townhouses and upstairs apartments in older buildings, mostly dating from the nineteenth century or earlier. Buying apartments in Noordenbergkwartier is possible in split historic buildings. There is hardly any new construction. Due to the limited owner-occupied share (32% of the housing stock), only a handful of homes are for sale at any one time.
Is there enough green space and are there amenities in the neighbourhood?
Green space directly in Noordenbergkwartier is scarce; the neighbourhood is densely built-up and has few parks or gardens within its own boundaries. Deventer Scheg and Worpplantsoen are within cycling distance. Daily amenities such as supermarkets, bakeries and pharmacies are abundantly available within walking distance, thanks to the location in the city centre. The weekly market on the Brink on Fridays and Saturdays is cited by residents as one of the major plus points of living in this area.
