Buying a home in Verspreide huizen Almen ten noorden van Twentekanaal, Almen.
You're looking at scattered houses north of the Twentekanaal—real village territory where you get space and quiet, not a dense neighborhood. Most homes here are detached or semi-detached, set back from quiet country roads; it's the kind of place where you know your neighbours because there actually aren't that many of them. The Twentekanaal itself is a genuine asset: a cycling and walking route that connects you to Lochem's centre without the need to drive. Being north of the water means you're tucked away from the main throughfare, which keeps things peaceful and green.
