My experience with the neighbourhood is very positive. Although the streets are somewhat narrow and the houses here and there a bit dated, this is more than compensated by the favourable location. Within a two-minute walk you are already in the city centre, which makes living here very practical and pleasant. In addition, the neighbourhood has a nice playground and is only a ten-minute walk from the beautiful river IJssel. In the early morning you can enjoy a beautiful sunrise there, which gives a peaceful start to the day. There are also various shops within walking distance, such as Albert Heijn, Lidl and Kruidvat, as well as other amenities that you can easily use on a weekly basis.
Auto-translated to English by AIHere in the immediate vicinity, a few residents cause a lot of nuisance. Regular parties until 01:30, both on weekdays and at weekends. Apart from that, it's a fine neighbourhood. Sometimes a bit busy. Houses are old and could do with a renovation. Think cracks in walls.

About Turfstraat 3A, Zutphen
At €180,000, this is the cheapest home for sale in Stadskern and 68% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €560,325. However, it's a compact studio of 43 m², while the average home in the area is 155 m². The price per square metre works out at about €4,186, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €3,807 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the small size and central location.
The energy label is D. In Stadskern, 26.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is on the less efficient side. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern home. The majority of homes for sale in the neighbourhood have a better label (A, B or C), so this is something to factor into your budget.
One resident mentions that a few neighbours cause nuisance with regular parties until 01:30, both on weekdays and weekends. Another resident says the neighbourhood is very positive and practical. So it's a mixed picture: the central location brings some noise, but many enjoy the convenience. The area is urban with a high density of addresses, so some bustle is to be expected.
