Living in Silvolde, Oude IJsselstreek
Silvolde is a compact village in the Achterhoek with a distinct character of its own. It is not a dormitory town for commuters who work elsewhere and have little connection to their surroundings, but a place where people consciously choose village life. The housing stock largely consists of 1970s and 1980s terraced houses and semi-detached homes, supplemented by detached houses on the edges of the village. New-build is limited, although some smaller projects have been realised in recent years.
The centre of Silvolde is modest but functional. There is a supermarket, a number of local shops, a GP practice and primary education within the village itself. For more extensive shopping or a larger retail offering, most residents drive to nearby Terborg or Doetinchem, about ten to fifteen minutes away. Sports clubs are well represented: there are football, tennis and other clubs that help shape social life in the village. This sense of community is also reflected in resident ratings, where the score for community is by far the highest at 8.0.
Green space is present but not abundant. The countryside starts quickly, with walking and cycling paths towards the Oude IJssel and the surrounding landscape. Within the village itself, the greenery is functional, not spectacular, which also explains the score of 6.0 for green space. If you enjoy extensive walks in a park, you will need to hop on your bike.
Accessibility by car is reasonable: via the N18 you can quickly reach Doetinchem or Aalten. There is no direct train connection in Silvolde itself. The nearest station is Doetinchem, accessible by bus or bike. Bus line 29 connects Silvolde with Doetinchem and Aalten, but the frequency is limited, especially outside peak hours. If you rely on public transport, you need to take that into account.
Residents give Silvolde an overall score of 6.6 out of 10. Safety and accessibility both score 7.0, while education and amenities remain at 6.0. One resident writes: "Silvolde is a nice, quiet village where everyone knows each other. The community is strong, but for larger amenities you are still dependent on the car." That sums up the atmosphere well. On the Silvolde neighbourhood page you will find all ratings and neighbourhood data together.
Compared to neighbouring community Terborg, Silvolde is slightly quieter and less centrally located, but also slightly more affordable in WOZ value.
