Living in Salland, Raalte

Salland is not an ordinary residential neighbourhood. The neighbourhood lies on the edge of the village of Raalte and borders the open countryside of the Sallandse Heuvelrug. Those who live here consciously choose space, peace and greenery, but at the same time do not want to be far from daily amenities. That balance is exactly what Salland offers and largely explains the higher prices.

The housing stock mainly consists of larger single-family homes, many detached or semi-detached, with spacious gardens. Construction periods vary, but a large part of the homes date from the 1980s and 1990s, supplemented by newer plots that have been developed in the past two decades. In terms of appearance, it is quiet and green: wide streets, little traffic, many trees. You drive into the neighbourhood and the pace naturally slows down.

For daily shopping, the centre of Raalte is within cycling distance. There you will find an Albert Heijn, a Jumbo and a varied range of shops on the Kerkstraat and Kerkplein. Primary schools in the area include OBS De Bongerd and several other primary schools in the centre of Raalte. For secondary education, children travel to the Carmel College in Raalte. There is also plenty to do for sports: football club RKZVC and tennis club LTC Raalte are nearby, and the cycling and walking paths towards the Sallandse Heuvelrug start almost on your doorstep.

Accessibility by car is good. Via the N35 you are in Zwolle in about twenty minutes and in Deventer or Almelo in half an hour. Raalte has its own train station on the Zwolle-Almelo line, within cycling distance of the neighbourhood. By train you are in Zwolle in about twenty minutes. Bus connections are more limited, which means that a car or bicycle is indispensable for most residents.

Residents particularly appreciate Salland for its peace and space. On the neighbourhood page of Salland you can read extensive reviews, but a recurring theme is the feeling of living in a quiet environment without feeling isolated. One resident writes: "You live here wonderfully quietly, but you are in the centre by bike in five minutes. That is actually ideal for a family." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited walking and public transport connections for those without a car, and on the fact that supply is scarce and goes quickly when something becomes available.

Compared to other neighbourhoods in the district, Salland is clearly the more expensive side. Blekkerhoek and Drostenkamp offer a different type of living environment, more compact and more village-like in character. Raalte Centrum is for those who want to be closer to amenities. And for those who want to look outside Raalte, you can also take a look at Heeten or Nieuw Heeten for a similar rural character.

Who is a home for sale in Salland suitable for?

Salland mainly attracts families with children, and the figures confirm that: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and households with children form the largest category. With an average income of €44,300 and a labour participation rate of 85%, this is an economically active neighbourhood. First-time buyers will struggle here: with an average selling price of almost €690,000 and little supply, the threshold is high. Movers with equity or two incomes are more realistically positioned. Seniors are hardly represented, which fits the type of homes. Those who are unsure about buying can also look at the rental properties in Salland, although the rental supply here is very limited. Be prepared for little supply and quick action when something becomes available.
