The Koopmanskwartier neighbourhood
The Koopmanskwartier neighbourhood is a dense urban area with a strong mix of ages, though older residents make up a notable share. Most households are single people, and the streets have a busy, central feel. With 1,510 residents and a high address density, this is very much an inner-city setting. The area is home to a large number of flats, and rentals dominate the housing stock. It is a practical, well-connected part of town rather than a quiet suburban enclave.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. A Dirk supermarket is just around the corner, with an AH XL a couple of streets away and a SPAR within a five-minute walk. For school runs, Basisschool De Cirkel is a five-minute walk, and Gomarus College for secondary education is also close by. The train station is a short distance away, and a park is within walking distance for a breather. The municipality of Assen offers further amenities within easy reach.
