Homes for sale in Zuidwijken, Zutphen

House prices in Zuidwijken: below the Zutphen average, but rising market prices

Zuidwijken is an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 59% of the more than 3,100 homes are owned, the rest are rented, a large part of which through housing associations (33%). The average WOZ value is €268,000, which is clearly lower than the municipal average of €311,000 for Zutphen. That difference says something about the character of the neighbourhood: a mix of affordable single-family homes and older owner-occupied houses, with relatively few expensive detached properties. The actual transaction prices are higher than the WOZ value suggests: in the past twelve months, 57 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €390,956, with a range of €230,000 to €650,000 and an average living area of 120 m². Owner-occupied homes in Zuidwijken are thus more affordably priced than in many other Zutphen neighbourhoods, but it is not a real bargain market.

Living in Zuidwijken: lots of green, good accessibility, but also visible social challenges

Zuidwijken is located on the south side of Zutphen and consists of several sub-neighbourhoods, each with its own atmosphere. Anyone considering buying a home here would do well to know these nuances. On Buurtje.nl, the neighbourhood receives an average resident score of 7.1 out of 10, but the sub-scores vary widely. Accessibility, green spaces and amenities all score a 10, while safety (6.0) and especially housing (2.0) are significantly lower. Resident Ineke aptly describes the situation: she appreciates the green layout of the neighbourhood, where the municipality actively sows flowers to support insects, but she also mentions fly-tipping, petty crime and vandalism as recurring problems. That is an honest picture of a neighbourhood that has a lot to offer in potential, but where liveability can vary greatly from street to street.
