Samuel Hirschstraat 9B
Binnenstad-Zuid, Zwolle
AreaA studio in the heart of Zwolle
This studio on Samuel Hirschstraat 9B sits in Binnenstad-Zuid, a compact urban pocket in Zwolle where the city's history meets everyday life. At 30 m², it's a snug, efficient footprint, and the 1899 build gives it character you won't find in newer blocks. The rent of €710 sits well below the neighbourhood average, which makes it a keen option for someone after a central base. For context, that's roughly half the average rent in the area, and it's worth comparing with other studios in Zwolle to see how it stacks up.
Binnenstad-Zuid
Binnenstad-Zuid is a small neighbourhood where people tend to know each other, and occasionally a neighbourhood day is organised. One resident describes it as "an urban neighbourhood with a touch of green," noting that the area is reasonably safe, though weekend revellers pass through on their way out. The same review points out that amenities are extensive because the neighbourhood sits near the shopping street, and a bus stop makes it easily accessible. Housing here is a sticking point, with few homes for sale and high rents on what does become available. It's a lively, connected spot, but one where the housing market feels tight, as reflected in the Binnenstad-Zuid neighbourhood.
Life on the street
Daily errands are straightforward from here. A SPAR is just around the corner for quick groceries, with a Coop a couple of streets away and an Albert Heijn within a ten-minute walk. For school runs, Thomas a Kempis College is a five-minute walk, while De Jenapleinschool and Kindcentrum Aquamarijn are both within easy reach. The train station is about a kilometre away, so getting out of the city is simple. It's a practical setup for anyone who wants the convenience of central living without a car, all within the municipality of Zwolle.

Frequently asked questions
About Samuel Hirschstraat 9B, Zwolle
Is €710 a fair rent for this studio?
At €710, this studio is well below the average rent in Binnenstad-Zuid, which sits at €1,407. The floor area of 30 m² is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 116 m², so the price per square metre is relatively high. For a central studio in Zwolle, the absolute rent is keen, but the compact size means it's a trade-off between location and space.
What does the energy label E mean for this home?
The energy label E is an official registration recorded in the national EP-Online database. It reflects the building's energy performance as assessed at the time of certification. A label E is towards the lower end of the scale, so you can expect higher energy costs compared to more efficient homes. The label itself doesn't specify which aspects of the property contribute to the rating.
How close is the nearest supermarket?
A SPAR is just 112 metres away, so it's on your doorstep for everyday essentials. A Coop is 514 metres away, and an Albert Heijn is 699 metres from the studio. For a quick top-up or a full shop, you have several options within a short walk, which is a real advantage of living in this part of Binnenstad-Zuid.
What are the schools like nearby?
Thomas a Kempis College, a secondary school, is 350 metres away. For primary education, De Jenapleinschool is 540 metres away and Kindcentrum Aquamarijn is 577 metres away. There's also obs De Springplank at 659 metres. With several schools within a ten-minute walk, it's a practical area for families, though the neighbourhood itself has no primary school within its immediate boundaries.
How is the neighbourhood for safety and community?
Based on one resident review, Binnenstad-Zuid is described as reasonably safe, with people passing through at weekends on their way out. The neighbourhood is small, so many residents know each other, and a neighbourhood day is occasionally organised. The same review notes that greenery exists but could be improved. It's a community-minded area with the usual urban footfall at weekends.
Why is the rent so much lower than the neighbourhood average?
The rent of €710 is about 50% below the Binnenstad-Zuid average of €1,407. The main reason is the size: at 30 m², this studio is 74% smaller than the average home in the area, which is 116 m². Smaller homes naturally command lower absolute rents, even if the price per square metre is higher. It's a compact option at a modest monthly cost.
