Living in Stationsplein, Kampen

Stationsplein is one of the smallest neighbourhoods in Kampen, with around 90 residents and 55 homes. That sounds modest, but the neighbourhood has a very distinct character. As the name suggests, everything here revolves around the proximity of the station. That is both the biggest advantage and the most defining feature of living here: you are just a few minutes' walk from the platform at Kampen station, from where you can travel directly to Zwolle. Zwolle is reachable in about twenty minutes by train, and from there you have fast connections to Amsterdam, Utrecht and Groningen. For commuters who travel daily, this is a serious reason to look for a home here.

The neighbourhood borders the historic city centre of Kampen, which you can reach on foot in a few minutes. Along the IJssel you will find characteristic facades, shops on the Oudestraat and hospitality venues befitting a Hanseatic city with allure. Supermarkets, a GP and primary schools are within cycling distance. The neighbourhood itself has little greenery, but the IJsseldijk area and city parks are a short distance away. By car, you can quickly connect via the N50 to the main road towards Zwolle or Kampen-Zuid.

In terms of housing types, Stationsplein offers a mix of older properties, partly from the first half of the twentieth century, with redeveloped sites here and there. Apartments and smaller city houses alternate. It is not a green family neighbourhood with playgrounds and wide avenues, but rather an urban environment that suits people who consciously choose central living with good public transport connections.

The population is notably ageing: the largest age group consists of those aged 65 and over (35 out of 90 residents). Households without children form the majority. That says something about the character of the neighbourhood: quiet, mature, not busy or playful. Residents appreciate the peace and accessibility. On the neighbourhood page for Stationsplein you can read what residents themselves write about their area, including scores per category. One resident describes it as: "Ideal if you don't want to be dependent on your car. The station is literally around the corner and you can walk into the city centre in no time."

Compared to Binnenstad Kampen, Stationsplein is slightly quieter and has less tourist bustle, but is just as central. Brunnepe and Kampen-Zuid offer more space and greenery, but are further from the station. For those weighing up central versus spacious, the surrounding neighbourhoods of the Kampen district provide good comparison material.

Who is buying in Stationsplein interesting for?

Stationsplein mainly attracts buyers who travel by train daily and want to live centrally without being dependent on a car. The ageing population and the proportion of households without children suggest that this is not a typical starter neighbourhood or family neighbourhood, although there are entry-level homes from €300,000. Upsizers or people who consciously want to live smaller in a central location fit well into this picture. Supply is limited: on average, only a few homes are sold per year, so you need to be alert when something becomes available. Want to explore the rental market first?
