Residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 8.5 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl. Safety (9.0), green spaces (9.5) and community (10.0) score notably high.

Read all reviews and view the full neighbourhood data on the Olst neighbourhood page. The lower scores for education (7.0) and amenities (6.5) are honest: Olst is not a big city and you notice that in the range of shops.
For daily groceries, there are supermarkets in the centre, and the primary schools in the village serve younger families well. For secondary education, pupils rely on surrounding places such as Deventer or Raalte. There is plenty to do sport-wise: football club DESV and tennis club Olst are local anchors in community life. The location on the IJssel makes walking and cycling in the countryside attractive, and the Buitengebied Olst also offers interesting housing options for those seeking more space. The centre has two faces: Olst Centrum-Oost and Olst Centrum-West, each with its own character in terms of housing types and streetscape.
Accessibility is a strong point. Olst has its own train station on the Zwolle-Deventer line, meaning you can reach Deventer in about ten minutes and Zwolle in about twenty minutes. This makes the village attractive for commuters who want to live outside the city without losing the connection. By car, the A1 is easily accessible via Deventer. Bus connections are available but less frequent than in urban areas. The Stationswijk is located directly next to the station and is therefore popular with commuters. For those who want to compare with a neighbouring village: Wijhe and Wesepe also offer owner-occupied homes in a similar village setting.
For which buyers is Olst a serious option?
Olst mainly attracts families and people aged 45-65 who are looking for peace and space without completely letting go of the city. The train connection also makes the village interesting for starters who work in Deventer or Zwolle. With an average sale price of nearly €470,000, an owner-occupied home in Olst is not cheap, but the entry level starts around €200,000. Keep in mind additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters above €510,000, 0% for starters under the exemption limit) and notary costs. For those still unsure whether buying is the right time, you can also look at rental homes in Olst as a temporary alternative.
