Living in Verspreide huizen Epse, Lochem
Verspreide huizen Epse is not a village, not a district and not a new-build location. It is ribbon development and scattered dwellings in the rural area around Epse, in the municipality of Lochem. Those who live here have consciously chosen space, peace and greenery. The houses are far apart, surrounded by meadows, forests and occasionally a farmyard. You don't just quickly drive to the supermarket here: that requires a conscious choice and a car.
The homes are predominantly detached houses, often on spacious plots. Farmhouses, villas and country houses alternate. That also explains the wide range in sale prices. Buying an apartment in Verspreide huizen Epse is practically not an option: the supply consists almost exclusively of ground-based homes.
The neighbourhood scores an 8.1 on resident reviews, based on ratings from people who actually live there. Notably high are the scores for greenery (10.0) and beauty (10.0). Safety gets a 9.0, which is impressive. One resident writes: "Everyone is free to themselves, but if you need each other, they are there." That same resident adds that despite the lack of streetlights, it is simply safe, and people here don't do crazy things. That combination of privacy and mutual involvement characterises the neighbourhood well.
Scoring less strongly are accessibility (7.0) and community (7.0). Education gets a 6.0, which is logical in a rural area: schools are not around the corner. For primary education, residents rely on the centres of Epse or Gorssel, and for secondary education on Deventer or Zutphen. Accessibility by public transport is limited: there are no frequent bus routes through the rural area. A car is not a luxury but a necessity. The A1 motorway is accessible via Deventer, the A348 towards Zutphen as well. Deventer is about ten to fifteen minutes' drive away, Zutphen a similar distance.
Shops for daily groceries can be found in Epse itself or in Gorssel. For a larger assortment, a hospital or train station, you rely on Deventer or Zutphen. This is emphatically a neighbourhood for people who consciously distance themselves from the hustle and bustle, not for those who depend daily on public transport or urban amenities.
The demographic composition confirms that picture. The largest group of residents is 45 to 65 years old (155 of the 465 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (145). Young families are fewer: 60 children aged 0 to 15 live in the neighbourhood. One resident notes that as a family with young children it can sometimes feel lonely, because many neighbours are elderly. At the same time, the people are friendly and nice neighbours. More than half of households are married (53%) and most households are without children (95).
