StationskwartierRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
Rating this area as BOUGIE is spot on; at a median of €24/m², you are paying for the privilege of being the first person to scuff the floorboards. It is a gentrification fortress that works because it offers the one thing the historic center can't: predictable energy bills and easy parking. It is a solid investment for those who prioritize a 2026 lifestyle over 1626 aesthetics, even if the price ceiling of €29.5/m² feels a bit aggressive for Overijssel.
The Vibe:Stationskwartier is Kampen’s answer to modern living, ditching the medieval damp of the center for sleek facades and heat pumps near Kampen Zuid station. It is a landscape of high-spec new builds where the most common sight is a lease car and a high-end cargo bike. You are trading the architectural soul of the old town for a 10-minute train ride to Zwolle and walls that actually keep the heat in.

Locals Ask
Is parking a disaster like the city center?
Not at all; most units here come with designated spots or easy street access, sparing you the permit lottery found across the river.
How loud is the N50 highway?
If you're on the western edge, you'll definitely hear the drone; check the wind direction before signing a lease on those frontline apartments.
Is the €29.5/m² price point actually common?
It is the ceiling for top-floor, energy-neutral penthouses with views, but expect the median to stay closer to €24/m² for standard flats.
Can I walk to the old town shops?
It’s a 25-minute walk or a quick 8-minute cycle, so you're close enough for the Saturday market but far enough to avoid the tourist noise.
What is the typical tenant profile?
Mostly young professionals commuting to Zwolle or Almere who want zero maintenance and a high EPC rating.
