Historisch Centrum, Meppel
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Brouwersdwarsstraat sits right in the historic centre, where the streets buzz with life and everything is within easy reach. With 120 m² of living space, it is a good 25% larger than the average home in the neighbourhood. The price of €498,000 is on the high side compared to the local average of €389,625, but the extra space and central location explain that. For context, apartments in Meppel vary widely in size and price.
The Historisch Centrum neighbourhood is a compact, urban area with a mix of historic buildings and modern amenities. One resident, who has lived here for two years, says: 'All in all a pleasant place and environment to live. I feel safe here and hardly anything happens. The centre has enough amenities and I don't really miss anything.' They also appreciate the green spaces: 'For a place so central, I'm satisfied with how much green there is.' The neighbourhood has a high address density (over 2,000 addresses per km²), so it feels lively. Many households are single-person, and there is a notable share of older residents.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza and Jumbo are a couple of streets away. Primary schools are within easy walking distance: P.C. Basisschool Stadskwartier is a five-minute walk, and K.B.S. De Plataan is just a bit further. For secondary education, Greijdanus in Meppel is about a ten-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk away, making trips to other towns straightforward. The municipality of Meppel offers a range of cultural and recreational facilities, with a restaurant just a couple of streets away and a library within walking distance.
At present, the home is listed through several channels, including Van Dorsten Makelaars. The details reflect the situation at the time of writing.

I've been living here for almost 2 years now and all in all I'm satisfied. Of course, I sometimes see young guys on the street shouting hot-headedly and pushing/shoving each other, but that's part of it. Furthermore, I feel safe here and hardly anything happens. I don't feel attached to my neighbours or the other people on my street, but I do recognise a few and always say a friendly hello, and get it back. There are no arguments and we let each other live and leave each other alone, fine! The centre has enough amenities and I don't really miss anything, except for the fact that there is no Chinese restaurant that delivers food, but that might be very specific of me. For a place so central, I'm satisfied with how much green there is. Recently, a new small green area was added and I find this very pleasant both for the eye and for walking my dog. In terms of hygiene, I find it quite substandard. People leave dog poop lying around, there is often vomit on the street from people who have been out and about, and a lot of litter and food scraps. This surprises me in a negative way and I find it a great pity. This is the only downside; otherwise, I am very happy and satisfied with both my place and the environment!

About Brouwersdwarsstraat 16, Meppel
The asking price of €498,000 is about 28% above the average asking price in the Historisch Centrum neighbourhood (€389,625). However, this apartment is also 25% larger than the neighbourhood average (120 m² vs 96 m²). The price per square metre works out at roughly €4,150, which is in line with the local average of €4,232 per m². So while the total price is high, the size and central location justify it.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect moderate heating costs compared to older homes with lower labels. In the neighbourhood, about 30% of homes have label A, 19% label B, and 22% label C, so this home sits in the middle of the pack.
The train station is 1.3 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it easy to travel to other cities without needing a car.
Based on one resident review, the atmosphere is friendly but not overly close. The resident says: 'I don't feel attached to my neighbours or the other people on my street, but I do recognise a few and always say a friendly hello, and get it back. There are no arguments and we let each other live and leave each other alone, fine!' So it is a respectful, low-key environment.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The home is an apartment in the centre, so outdoor space is likely limited to what is available in the neighbourhood, such as the nearby park or green areas.
With 120 m² of floor area, it is a spacious apartment, but the exact layout and number of bedrooms are not provided.
In the historic centre, parking can be limited, and you may need to rely on street parking or a nearby car park. It is best to check with the municipality for permits and availability.
