Homes for sale in Stad, Winterswijk

What does a home cost in Stad, Winterswijk?

The Stad district forms the beating heart of Winterswijk and, with 10,845 homes, is by far the largest district in the municipality. Of these homes, 68% are owner-occupied and 32% are rental properties, meaning the vast majority of supply is on the owner-occupied market. The average WOZ value is €258,000, which is notably about €28,000 lower than the municipal average of €286,000. This difference is because the municipality also includes the rural area, where there are more detached homes that push the WOZ value up. The average selling price over the past twelve months was €410,038, based on 151 sold homes. The range is wide: from €145,000 for a compact apartment to €2,750,000 for the most expensive sale. The average floor area of sold homes is 131 m². At the top of this page you will find the current asking prices and selling times for the current supply.

Living in Stad: cosy village feel with urban amenities

If you think about living in Stad, Winterswijk, don't imagine a big city. It is a compact centre where you can cycle from one side to the other within ten minutes, but where you also have almost everything at hand. On the district page of Stad, residents give the district an 8.0 out of 10. Education scores particularly high with an 8.9, which is not surprising given the offering: primary schools such as De Vlier and Het Mozaïek, secondary school Het Assink lyceum and practical education are all within the district. Safety gets an 8.3 and accessibility an 8.1.

The centre around the Markt and Meddosestraat offers a mix of local shops, supermarkets (Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Aldi) and hospitality venues. You never have to go far for daily groceries. For sports, there are opportunities at football club SC Winterswijk, tennis club de Achterhoek and the Jaspers swimming pool. The forests and the coulisse landscape lie literally on the edge of the district, although green space scores a relatively modest 7.0, presumably because the centre itself is somewhat more built-up. Resident Frank, who has lived there for 26 years, writes: "Very cosy, beautiful forests in the area, neighbourhood barbecue and garden parties. I recommend everyone: come and live here." At the same time, not everyone is equally enthusiastic about cleanliness. The same Frank notes elsewhere that "when you walk out of the street, there is a lot of rubbish." And Noël calls it "a neighbourhood where everyone is pretty much to themselves," indicating that the cosiness can vary per street.

In terms of accessibility, Winterswijk has its own train station with a direct Arriva connection to Zutphen (about 50 minutes), from where you can transfer towards Arnhem and the Randstad. By car, via the N318 and N319, you can reach Doetinchem or Groenlo in about half an hour. For those looking for a specific neighbourhood within the district: the Central part is the most urban, while Winterswijk-Zuidwest and the Noordoost neighbourhood are laid out more spaciously with more single-family homes. Those who prefer the rural area can look at the Land district, where detached homes dominate.

For which buyers is Stad a good choice?

With an average purchase price of over €410,000 and a significant share of single-family homes, Stad is interesting for movers and families looking for a combination of amenities and nature. First-time buyers can still find apartments in the lower price range (from €145,000), although supply is limited and you need to act quickly. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old and nearly 5,810 residents are 65-plus, so homes regularly become available from seniors downsizing. Keep in mind additional costs: 2% transfer tax, notary and valuation costs. Those who prefer to rent first can look at rental homes in Stad as an alternative. Note: buying an apartment in Stad can be attractive in terms of price, but always check the VvE contribution and the maintenance plan.
