The average WOZ value is €301,000, slightly lower than the district average of €360,000 and also below the Steenwijkerland municipal average of €309,000.

Living in Sint Jansklooster, Steenwijkerland

Sint Jansklooster is a small, agricultural village in the municipality of Steenwijkerland, located in the northeast of the Kop van Overijssel region. The village has around 1,300 inhabitants and has the character of a true rural community: quiet, green, and with strong social cohesion. The surroundings are dominated by meadows, ditches and farmland, with scattered farmsteads and farms on the edges of the village. If you are looking for a home with space around you, without the hustle and bustle of a city or large town, you are in the right place here.

The housing stock largely consists of ground-level homes, often built between the 1960s and 1980s. You will find terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached houses, but hardly any apartments. This makes the village less suitable for anyone considering buying an apartment in Sint Jansklooster, unless something occasionally becomes available. The streets are clear, the gardens are generally spacious, and parking is no problem at all.

In terms of amenities, Sint Jansklooster is modest but functional. The village itself has a primary school, a community centre and a local sports club. For daily shopping, a GP or secondary school, you need to head to Steenwijk or Vollenhove, both about ten to fifteen minutes away by car. Vollenhove is the nearest larger town with a small supermarket and historic centre. Steenwijk offers more: a full shopping centre, train stations and secondary education.

Accessibility by car is reasonable via the N331 and N333, but public transport is limited. There is a bus line connecting Sint Jansklooster with Steenwijk and Vollenhove, but the frequency is low. For daily commuting, you are effectively reliant on the car. The nearest NS railway station is Steenwijk, about ten kilometres away.

Residents appreciate the peace, space and sense of community. On the neighbourhood page of Sint Jansklooster you will find resident experiences and scores per category. One resident writes: "It's wonderfully quiet here, you know your neighbours and the children can play outside without you having to worry. But for everything you need, you take the car." That sums up the character of this village well: strong in liveability and peace, less strong in urban proximity.

Compared to nearby neighbourhoods such as Heetveld or the area between Sint Jans Klooster and Heetveld, the built-up core of Sint Jansklooster is slightly more compact and has more amenities.
