Vollenhove, Steenwijkerland
NeighbourhoodThis semi-detached house on Jan van Dieststraat sits in a quiet part of Vollenhove, where the streets are lined with family homes and the pace of life is unhurried. With 151 m² of floor space and an energy label A, it combines generous proportions with low running costs, a combination that is increasingly rare. The asking price of €449,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €404,500, but the efficient label and larger-than-average plot (296 m²) help explain the premium. For context, semi-detached houses in Steenwijkerland typically sell for a range of prices, and this one sits at the upper end.
Vollenhove is a small town with just over 4,000 residents, where most homes are owner-occupied (56%) and the vast majority are single-family houses (85%). The population is evenly spread across age groups, with a noticeable share of older residents (24% aged 65+). One resident describes the atmosphere as "FRIENDLY BUT ALONE", adding: "Everyone is friendly to each other but there is nothing that connects them." That sums up a place where neighbours are polite but community events are scarce, a trade-off that suits those who value peace over a packed social calendar. The neighbourhood has a low urbanity score (4 out of 5, with 571 addresses per km²), so you get a genuine small-town feel. Read more about Vollenhove.
