Living in Schalkhaar: green, quiet yet everything within reach
Schalkhaar lies directly north of Deventer and has the character of a spacious residential area that borders the countryside. The Oerdijk is one of the most well-known residential streets, a ribbon development with green gardens and a village feel. Residents appreciate the peace and space, but Schalkhaar is certainly not a commuter town far from everything. On Buurtje.nl, the neighbourhood scores a 7.8 based on resident reviews. Accessibility and amenities both score a perfect 10. Nova, one of the reviewers, writes: "Nice neighbourhood with everything nearby!" She lives on the Oerdijk and mentions the neighbourhood app and mutual willingness to help as plus points, although she sometimes misses a real sense of community and there are remarkably few rubbish bins in the area. More resident responses and all neighbourhood scores can be found on the neighbourhood page of Schalkhaar.
In terms of amenities, the location is favourable. The In de Bogen shopping centre in Schalkhaar offers daily groceries, including a supermarket and various shops within walking distance. For a larger selection, the city centre of Deventer is reachable within a few minutes. Children in the neighbourhood can attend several primary schools in the immediate vicinity. For sports, there are football and tennis clubs nearby, and the greenery scores highly: the neighbourhood borders polder areas and there are walking routes along the countryside. The safety score of 5.5 is the only notable point of attention in the resident ratings, although this concerns a limited number of reviews.
Accessibility is one of Schalkhaar's strongest assets. Via the N348 and the connection to the A1, you are quickly on the motorway towards Apeldoorn or Almelo. Deventer station is a short bike ride or a few minutes' drive away, with direct connections to Zwolle, Utrecht and Apeldoorn. Bus services connect Schalkhaar with the city centre of Deventer.

De Oerdijk is a nice place to live, although I sometimes miss a bit of the real neighbourhood feeling. There is a neighbourhood app and everyone helps each other! We are very good friends with our immediate neighbours. The only thing I miss are rubbish bins; when we walk the dog, there is only 1 bin in the whole neighbourhood, which is a shame. We also have all kinds of shops in the area, and a primary school. Other amenities are within a 15-minute bike ride.
