Living in Verspreide huizen Zwarte Veen en Barchemse Enk, Lochem

Verspreide huizen Zwarte Veen en Barchemse Enk is not an ordinary residential area with streets and terraced houses. The name says it all: it concerns scattered buildings in a rural area between Barchem and the surrounding enken and venen. Whoever lives here consciously lives outside. The plots are large, the neighbours are far away, and the silence is a choice, not an incidental feature. The Zwarte Veen and the Barchemse Enk are typical Achterhoek landscapes: open fields, hedgerows, small woods, and here and there a farmstead converted into a dwelling.

The neighbourhood has 345 inhabitants spread over 142 homes, which illustrates the low building density well. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (110 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (95 people). Families with children are in the minority: most households are without children, and 52% of residents are married. This is a neighbourhood for people who consciously choose peace and space, not for young starters who have just left the city.

You will not find amenities in the neighbourhood itself. The nearest supermarket and primary schools are located in the village of Barchem or in Lochem itself. In Barchem you will find a primary school and a modest level of facilities; for larger groceries and specialist shops you drive to Lochem or Borculo. Being sporty is easy in the area: walking and cycling routes through the Achterhoek landscape are literally on your doorstep. Equestrian sports and outdoor activities fit well with the character of the neighbourhood.

Accessibility by car is reasonable: Lochem is about a ten-minute drive away, the A1 is accessible via Lochem. Public transport is limited. There are bus services in the region, but a car is practically indispensable if you live here. Lochem station no longer exists; the nearest train station is Zutphen, about a twenty-minute drive away. That is an honest disadvantage to consider.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space. On the neighbourhood page of Verspreide huizen Zwarte Veen en Barchemse Enk you can read what people themselves write about their living environment. One resident describes it as: "Here in the evening you only hear the wind and the birds. You have to choose it yourself, but once you do, you never want to go back." Criticism usually concerns the dependence on the car and the lack of nearby amenities. Whoever accepts that will find an environment here that few other neighbourhoods in the region offer. For comparison: in Verspreide huizen Lochemseweg the atmosphere is similarly rural, but the buildings are more along a through road. Verspreide huizen Boschheurne en Zwiepsche Broek has a similar character but with its own landscape context.
