Rent a Home in Deventer Keizerslanden
Post-war working-class neighborhood with over 5,600 homes and a new-build front on the eastern edge. Functional, affordable, with Steenbrugge as the future under construction.
Keizerslanden was built in the 1950s and 1960s, during a period when Deventer was growing rapidly and workers needed housing. The neighborhood has over 11,000 residents (2023), spread across sub-districts such as Tuindorp, Landsherenkwartier, Oranjekwartier, and Rollecatekwartier. It is Deventer's largest post-war neighborhood and one of the most accessible for renters.
More than half of the homes are social housing. This impacts the private sector: landlords investing here target a market where rental prices are lower than in the city center or De Hoven. Renting a home in Deventer Keizerslanden means choosing a neighborhood where the price-quality ratio is more favorable than closer to the center.
Tuindorp and the Landsherenkwartier
Tuindorp, in the north of Keizerslanden, is the oldest part. Single-family homes from the early 1950s, with small gardens and narrow streets. The architecture is sober: no ornamental brickwork, no balconies, but solid construction. The Landsherenkwartier, built in the late 1950s, has a similar profile but a slightly more spacious layout. The streets are wider, the gardens deeper.
The Oranjekwartier forms the middle part of the neighborhood. Here, in addition to single-family homes, there are also apartment buildings of three and four stories. The mix of low-rise and stacked buildings gives the Oranjekwartier a different rhythm than the purely low-rise neighborhoods.
