Windesheim, Zwolle
NeighbourhoodThis 1900s terraced house on Dorpsstraat sits in the old village core of Windesheim, where residents feel like Windesheimers first, then Zwolle residents. With 184 m² of living space and an A energy label, it's a rare combination of character and efficiency. The asking price of €635,000 is on the high side compared to other terraced houses in Zwolle, but the generous plot and village setting add real value.
Windesheim is a quiet, tight-knit village with just 390 inhabitants. Two residents describe it as a place where "noaberschap" (neighbourliness) still thrives, people look out for each other's pets and children. One resident, who has lived here for over 40 years, says: "The neighbourhood is quiet, lots of nature nearby, and still 'noaberschap'." Another notes it's "fine to sleep there and to go to the forest and enjoy nature," but warns that amenities are scarce: the nearest shop is a half-hour cycle away, and the bus runs only once an hour. The neighbourhood Windesheim is almost entirely made up of single-family homes (96%), and 78% are owner-occupied.
For daily groceries, you'll need to plan ahead: the nearest supermarkets are about 4 km away, with Albert Heijn, Lidl, Aldi and Jumbo all within a 5 km radius. The Florens Radewynsschool is just around the corner, making the school run a short walk. For secondary education, you'd travel about 5 km. The municipality Zwolle offers more extensive amenities, but here in Windesheim, life revolves around the village community and the surrounding nature.

People feel like Windesheimers first, then Zwolle residents. I've been living here for over 40 years with great pleasure in an old house, which is hard to insulate, or actually a lot can be done, but at 75 and 81 we'd rather spend our money on nicer things in life, even if it means paying a bit more for energy. The next generation can do the rest, just as we did when we arrived here in 1981. The neighbourhood is quiet, lots of nature nearby, and still "noaberschap" (neighbourliness), looking out for each other, watching each other's pets and children, etc.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's fine to sleep there and to go to the forest and enjoy nature, but as soon as you need something from a shop, you have to cycle half an hour to the nearest shop. The bus runs once an hour and is often late, and it's also becoming increasingly irregular; the NS app says it no longer runs on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. If you need to go somewhere like Deventer, you first have to cycle 45 minutes to get to the station and then still take the train. Basically, to sum it up, it's fine to live there, but if you want contact with the outside world, it's very difficult and slow.

About Dorpsstraat 33, Zwolle
The price is on the high side compared to other terraced houses in Zwolle, but this home offers a rare combination of a 1900s character property with an A energy label, a large plot of 320 m², and a village setting. The exact market value depends on how much you value the historic charm and the quiet, rural lifestyle.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. For a house built in 1900, that's exceptional, it means the home has been well insulated and modernised, so heating costs should be relatively low. You won't have to worry about draughty windows or a leaky roof.
The nearest train station is 7.6 km away, so you'd need a car or bike to get there. The bus runs once an hour and is often late, and according to one resident, it no longer runs on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. For trips to Deventer, you'd first cycle 45 minutes to the station.
Residents describe a strong sense of community, with 'noaberschap', looking out for each other, watching each other's pets and children. One resident has lived here for over 40 years and loves the quiet, nature-filled environment. It's a village where people feel like Windesheimers first, then Zwolle residents.
The nearest primary school, Florens Radewynsschool, is just 168 m away, a short walk. For groceries, you'll need to travel about 4 km to the nearest supermarket (Albert Heijn). Secondary education is about 5 km away. Daily errands require planning, but the village life and nature compensate.
The plot is 320 m², which is generous for a terraced house. The listing does not specify a garden, but the plot size suggests there is outdoor space.
