Singel, Deventer
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. On the stately Pikeursbaan, a monumental 1871 terraced house with 324 m² of living space sits on a 148 m² plot. It is the most expensive of the seven homes currently for sale in the Singel neighbourhood, at €1,075,000, 69% above the local average asking price of €637,000. That premium reflects its exceptional size and energy label A, a rare combination for a house of this age. For context, terraced houses in Deventer vary widely, but this one stands out.
The Singel is the historic heart of Deventer, with a very strong urban character (address density 3,348 per km²). It is a lively, compact area where most homes are apartments (83%) and a third were built before 1945. The population is diverse: many singles (540 of 1,395 residents), a fair share of over-65s (300), and relatively few families with children (115). Average household size is just 1.6. There are no neighbourhood reviews available, so the picture comes from the data: a central, bustling district with a mix of ages and lifestyles.
Daily life here revolves around the city centre. For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, Jumbo is a couple of streets away, and AH to go is equally close. For families, primary schools are within easy walking distance: Deventer Leerschool voor Basisonderwijs and Interconfessionele Basisschool De Windroos. The train station is a five-minute walk, and the park or public garden is just 400 m away. Everything you need is on your doorstep, from restaurants to the library.
At the time of writing, the home is listed exclusively through OpenDeur Deventer | NVM makelaar.

About Pikeursbaan 10, Deventer
The asking price is 69% above the neighbourhood average of €637,000, but this home is also 86% larger than the average (324 m² vs 174 m²) and has an energy label A, which is rare for a 1871 building. It is the most expensive of the seven homes currently for sale in Singel. Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood averaged €776,350, so the price is on the high side, reflecting the exceptional size and efficiency.
Energy label A means the home is very efficient, so heating and electricity bills should be relatively low compared to older, uninsulated homes. In the Singel neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label A, so this is a strong point. No specific running costs are stated in the listing, but label A generally keeps energy expenses manageable.
The Singel has a very urban feel with many singles and older residents. Only 115 of 1,395 residents are children, and 83% of homes are apartments. However, there are several primary schools within a short walk, such as Deventer Leerschool (241 m) and De Windroos (288 m). It is a lively, central area rather than a quiet suburban one.
Deventer train station is 500 metres away, about a five-minute walk. This makes commuting or travelling to other cities very convenient.
Albert Heijn is 208 metres away, Jumbo is 296 metres, and AH to go is 301 metres. Aldi and PLUS are also within 400 metres. Daily grocery shopping is very easy on foot.
The listing does not state whether the house is a listed monument. The year of construction is 1871, and the neighbourhood has many pre-1945 buildings, but no monument status is mentioned. You would need to check with the municipality for any protected status.
With 324 m² of living space over multiple floors, there is ample room, but the exact layout and number of bedrooms are not provided.
The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 568. This is a relatively high figure for a small area, reflecting the dense urban centre.
