Buying a home in Hanzewijk/Greente, Kampen.
Hanzewijk and Greente are where Kampen feels most lived-in: solid family streets with 1970s terraces and some older bungalows, the kind of neighbourhood where neighbours actually know each other. You're five minutes from the city centre on foot, ten from the Ijssel waterfront. The real draw is the local primary schools and the Saturday morning market at Grotestraat—that's where the everyday rhythm lives, not the tourist postcards.

What to consider when buying in Hanzewijk/Greente
Pros:
- Walk to the train station in under 10 minutes; direct lines to Zwolle and Arnhem without transfers
- Proximity to Eise Eisingastraat and the riverside path along the IJssel; you can cycle to Wilsum or Zalk easily
- Terraced homes with character, typically built 1920s–1960s, reasonably priced compared to Amsterdam or Utrecht
- Close to Kampen's medieval center and the Hanseatic League architecture; Oudestraat and the Buitenkant draw locals, not tourists
Cons:
- Industrial heritage means noise and occasional smells from riverside logistics and the nearby rail yard
- School capacity is tight; Greente has fewer secondary schools than surrounding areas, forcing families to look outside the neighborhood
- Limited supermarket choice; Albert Heijn on Oudestraat is the main option, no budget alternatives nearby
- Winter flooding risk in parts of Greente when the IJssel swells; some streets see water damage every 5–10 years
