Living in Paasloo: peace, space and a close-knit village community
Paasloo is a small village in the west of the Kop van Overijssel, nestled between the Weerribben and the agricultural polders towards Steenwijk. With 395 residents and 158 homes, it is one of the smaller settlements within Steenwijkerland. The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds, followed by those aged 65 and over. That says something about the atmosphere: quiet, established, not a busy student neighbourhood. On the neighbourhood page of Paasloo you can read what residents themselves write about life here. A recurring theme in the reviews is the silence and nature right on your doorstep. Residents appreciate the low traffic levels, the greenery and the sense of clarity. Criticism usually focuses on the limited local amenities and the reliance on the car for daily shopping.
And that last point is true: Paasloo has no supermarket or primary school within the village boundaries. For daily shopping you drive to Oldemarkt, a few minutes away, or to Steenwijk. Oldemarkt has a small supermarket and primary schools. In Steenwijk you will find a wider range: several supermarkets, secondary schools, a hospital and a train station. The travel time from Paasloo to the centre of Steenwijk by car is about ten minutes. Public transport is limited: there is a bus route through the region, but the frequency is low. A car in Paasloo is not a luxury but a necessity. Via the N334 and N377 you are quickly on the provincial roads towards Zwolle (about 40 minutes) or Emmeloord.
The location next to National Park Weerribben-Wieden is precisely the reason many residents choose to live here. Reed lands, canals, cycling and walking paths, that is literally the back garden. If you enjoy kayaking, birdwatching or cycling through open landscapes, this is the place for you. Similar small villages in the area are Kalenberg and Blankenham, which have a similar atmosphere but each their own character. Also Oldemarkt and Kuinre are worth a look if you are searching in this region. More information about life and living in the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Steenwijkerland.
For whom is buying in Paasloo a good choice?

Keep in mind additional costs when buying a home: transfer tax (2% for non-starters), notary fees and any structural survey. The limited supply means that homes sometimes sell quickly. If you are unsure whether buying is the right time now, you can also look at the rental homes in Paasloo, although that supply is minimal. Buying an apartment in Paasloo is virtually impossible: the housing stock consists almost entirely of ground-based homes.
