Oud-Assendorp, Zwolle
NeighbourhoodThis 1895 terraced house on Groenestraat sits in one of Zwolle's most characterful neighbourhoods. With 87 m² of living space and a small garden, it's a classic old-town home full of authentic details. The asking price of €379,000 is notably keen, 17% below the neighbourhood average of €456,618, making it a rare find in a popular area. For context, terraced houses in Zwolle typically command higher prices.
Oud-Assendorp is a close-knit community where social cohesion runs strong. One resident describes it as "a bit of a village feel in the city," adding that "the sense of togetherness is strong and neighbourhood initiatives like car sharing and neighbourhood BBQs are very common." Another notes it's "pleasant and quiet" with "many amenities nearby." The streets are narrow and the houses are mostly over 100 years old, so parking can be tight. The neighbourhood Oud-Assendorp is home to many singles and young adults, with a lively, diverse mix of residents.
For your morning bread run, Jumbo is just around the corner, and AH to go is a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, De Jenapleinschool, is a five-minute walk, while the Thomas a Kempis College for secondary education is about ten minutes on foot. The municipality Zwolle keeps the area well-served with shops and green spaces like the nearby Azaleapark.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Denise Dekker Makelaardij, Funda, and Vastgoed Nederland.

Nice neighbourhood, feels safe to an extent. Only many of the houses are old and have their problems. What could be improved in housing is that landlords take complaints seriously and actually come to help.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood, many amenities nearby, friendly residents, centrally located, no play area for young adults (e.g. ping-pong table), little walking space due to bicycles on the pavement
Auto-translated to English by AIAssendorp is quite unique, the name of the neighbourhood says it all. It's a kind of village just outside the ring road and thus within walking distance of the centre where the city walls used to stand. It was originally built for many residents who worked at the railway, with social housing. The houses are generally small workers' cottages with authentic details and over 100 years old. Everything is geared to 100 years ago, but the social cohesion is strong and it's a cosy neighbourhood. The streets are narrow, which unfortunately means they are often clogged with modern cars (which are often bigger than years ago and there are many more residents with a car than when it was built). Residents are diverse, but the neighbourhood is very popular and no longer poor. If you want to get a house in Assendorp now, you have to be quick and bring a hefty sum of money. Residents are increasingly into greenery and one front garden after another is springing up. The sense of togetherness is strong and neighbourhood initiatives like car sharing and neighbourhood BBQs are very common. What is also unfortunately common is the sound of DIY from residents who want to expand their small house as much as possible with an extension or loft conversion. Running through the neighbourhood is the Assendorperstraat as a shopping street and traffic artery. Multifunctional centre de Enk organises many activities and the Azaleapark has recently been expanded. As a resident, I have lived in 4 other cities and also in another neighbourhood in Zwolle, but in none of those neighbourhoods do I feel as at home as in Assendorp!
