Nice neighbourhood, many places quickly reachable, but Friday and Saturday evenings a bit scary. With all those drunk people shouting and trying to steal our bikes, letting air out of tyres, stealing lights or puncturing tyres, throwing bikes over and once someone's car window smashed. All that and more by the restaurant opposite me. That stays open until 5 am sometimes/often while I used to have to get up at 5 and then couldn't sleep well.

About Sint Jacobstraat 42, Kampen
The asking price of €299,000 is 29% below the average asking price in Binnenstad Kampen (€419,776) and also below the median of €327,500. Given the compact size (82 m²) and the need for modernisation (energy label C, 1900 build), the price is keen and reflects the home's character and location rather than modern finish.
Binnenstad Kampen is a historic city centre with a high density of shops, restaurants and bars. It's very urban (2,274 addresses per km²) and popular with singles and students. The main downside is noise on Friday and Saturday nights, with some reports of antisocial behaviour around late-night venues. Day-to-day, it's convenient and lively.
Kampen railway station is 1.1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting to Zwolle or further afield straightforward.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a pre-war house. It means reasonable insulation but not top efficiency. Heating costs will be moderate, but you could improve the label with upgrades like double glazing or better roof insulation.
Yes, several primary schools are within walking distance: Monseigneur Zwijsen-School (500 m), Basisschool Dr. H. Bouwmanschool (665 m), and IRIS Kindcentrum Marnix (858 m). Secondary schools are about 1.5 km away.
Albert Heijn is just 260 m away, ideal for daily shopping. Aldi is 734 m, and Coop, Jumbo and Lidl are all about 1 km. You have plenty of choice within a short walk.
The plot is 36 m², but the listing does not specify a garden. Given the small size and urban location, outdoor space is likely limited to a small courtyard or no garden at all.
