Brinkkwartier, Assen
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Brinkstraat sits right in the middle of the city centre, where the streets buzz with cafés and shops. At 75 m² it's compact but well laid out, with an energy label D, so heating costs are something to factor in. The asking price of €345,000 is keen compared with the neighbourhood average, partly because the home is smaller than the typical unit here. For context, apartments in Assen vary widely in size and price.
Brinkkwartier is the historic core of Assen, a very densely built-up area with mostly pre-war housing. It's a young, urban neighbourhood: lots of singles and students, few families. The streets are lively, and the city park is just a couple of streets away. One resident says: "It's great to have everything within walking distance, shops, restaurants, the market." Another notes: "It can be noisy at weekends, but that's city life." The neighbourhood Brinkkwartier has a high turnover of rental properties, so owner-occupied homes like this one are relatively rare.
For your morning bread, SPAR is on your doorstep, and Ekoplaza is just around the corner. Dirk and AH XL are a five-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Kindcentrum Emmaschool (a five-minute walk) and Basisschool De Cirkel (a ten-minute walk). The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the municipality Assen offers good connections to Groningen and beyond.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Feenstra ERA Makelaars, Prisma Era Makelaars Hengelo, Funda and Pararius.
