Living in Op den Haar, Deventer

Op den Haar is a quiet residential neighbourhood on the eastern side of Deventer, part of the broader Colmschate area. The neighbourhood has a green, suburban character with predominantly single-family homes from the 1970s and 1980s. Think terraced houses and semi-detached houses with a garden, wide streets and plenty of greenery in public spaces. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but rather for its peace and space.

The population composition reflects that character. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, followed by families with children. Almost half of households are married and 46% of residents have a high level of education. Op den Haar attracts people who consciously choose space, peace and their own piece of land, and who are willing to accept a neighbourhood a little further from the city centre for that.

For daily shopping you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. The Colmschate shopping centre, within cycling distance, offers an Albert Heijn, an Aldi and various specialist shops. For a larger range of shops or a visit to Deventer city centre, allow about ten to fifteen minutes by bike or a quarter of an hour by car. Children in the neighbourhood attend primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including schools in neighbouring Colmschate. Sports facilities are available through the various clubs in the district, including football and tennis clubs within walking distance.

In terms of accessibility, Op den Haar is well connected for motorists: the A1 towards Apeldoorn and Amsterdam is quickly reachable via the Colmschaterdijk. By bus, you can take neighbourhood lines to Deventer station, from where intercity trains run towards Zwolle, Apeldoorn and Utrecht. Cyclists benefit from the relatively flat surroundings and the through cycle paths towards the centre.

Residents particularly appreciate the neighbourhood for its peace and greenery. On the neighbourhood homepage of Op den Haar you can read what residents themselves write about it. One resident describes it as follows: "It's wonderfully quiet here, the children can play safely outside and the neighbours know each other. Not exciting, but nice." Criticisms that come up are the limited evening entertainment in the neighbourhood itself and the dependence on the car or bicycle for many amenities.

Compared to neighbouring communities such as Steinvoorde and Graveland, Op den Haar has a similar character, but the housing supply is slightly more compact. Het Jeurlink and Spikvoorde are other neighbourhoods in the same district worth comparing if you are considering buying in this part of Deventer.

Does a home for sale in Op den Haar suit you?

With an average purchase price of over €407,000, it is not a market for starters with a limited budget, although the lower limit of €122,825 theoretically offers entry opportunities for smaller or renovation properties. Be prepared for a market with limited supply: only a handful of homes are sold per year, which means you have to act quickly when something becomes available.
