Living in Wijthmen, Zwolle
Wijthmen is not an ordinary Zwolle residential area. It is a small, independent village on the northwest side of Zwolle, nestled between agricultural land, the Wijthmenerplas lake and the Zwarte Water river. With around 600 residents and 248 homes, it is one of the smallest settlements within the municipality. This small-scale nature is precisely what many residents are looking for here. The buildings are spread out, there are no busy shopping streets, and you are in the countryside within a minute.
The homes largely date from the 1960s to the 1980s, with a mix of detached houses, semi-detached houses and a limited number of terraced houses. The plots are spacious, gardens are large, and the streets are green. This also determines the appearance of the neighbourhood: quiet, well-maintained and slightly rural.
In terms of amenities, Wijthmen is modest. There is no supermarket in the neighbourhood itself. For daily shopping, residents rely on Zwolle-Noord or the city centre. The primary school CBS De Ark is located in the heart of the village and serves the younger children from the neighbourhood. For secondary education, children go to Zwolle. For sports, there are opportunities at the nearby Wijthmenerplas, a recreational lake that attracts many visitors in the summer. Walking and cycling along the banks of the Zwarte Water is a daily routine for many residents.
Accessibility by car is reasonable. Via the N35 you are quickly on the A28 towards Zwolle city centre or further to Deventer and Ommen. Zwolle city centre is about a ten-minute drive away. By bike it takes a quarter of an hour, depending on the route. Public transport is limited: there is a bus line to Zwolle, but the frequency is low. Those dependent on public transport notice that Wijthmen is somewhat isolated. Zwolle station is the nearest train station, but not within walking distance.
Residents appreciate the peace, space and proximity to nature. On the main neighbourhood page of Wijthmen you can read all resident reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "You really live out here, but still close to the city. The peace is priceless, but you have to be willing to make some sacrifices." Criticism often focuses on the limited public transport connections and the lack of amenities within walking distance.
For comparison: the neighbouring community Herfte has a similar village character but is slightly more compact. Bedrijventerrein Marslanden-Zuid borders the district but is of course not a residential area. Those who want a more urban lifestyle within the same municipality would look at districts such as Wipstrik or Assendorp.
Who is a home for sale in Wijthmen interesting for?
Wijthmen mainly attracts families and people in the 45-plus age group who consciously choose space and peace outside the city. The largest age group is 45-65 years (190 people), and households with children are the most represented. First-time buyers will find it difficult: the supply is limited, prices are relatively high and the entry threshold for an owner-occupied home is higher here than in many other Zwolle neighbourhoods. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Wijthmen is looking in vain: that type of home is virtually non-existent. If you have a larger budget and are looking for a detached house with a garden, then buying in Wijthmen is worth considering. As an alternative, you can also look at rental homes in Wijthmen, although that supply is limited.
