A first home in De Dorpen
This apartment on Anemoonstraat 81 sits in De Dorpen, a residential pocket of Assen-Oost where life moves at a steady pace. The home was built in 1971 and carried an energy label D, which meant the energy costs would be noticeable but not extreme. At €167,500, the asking price was keen compared with the average asking price in the neighbourhood, which came to €362,500. It was also the cheapest of the five homes at the time for sale in this part of town, and it sat well below the average for apartments in Assen. This home has not been online since 24 September 2026.
Inside the flat
This is a gallery flat on the second living floor, with three rooms, two bedrooms and one bathroom spread over a single level. The living area measured 70 m², and the agent listed the same figure as the BAG registration, so there was no discrepancy to puzzle over. The home has double glazing and a central heating boiler, and it comes with a garage box. It was offered in full ownership, so there was no leasehold ground rent to factor in.
