Lots of children playing nicely outside on the street! That gives a familiar and safe feeling."

The neighbourhood Drachten centrum is densely built-up, with a high address density typical of a city centre.

People almost always greet each other here. Lots of children playing nicely outside on the street! That gives a familiar and safe feeling. So a solid pass for safety and community! And the streets always look tidy too, so I think hygiene is also more than adequate! Shops, schools and other facilities all within walking/cycling distance and easily accessible, so also a solid pass for education, housing, facilities and accessibility. Green space is a bit less, but sufficient. Because we live in the city centre, there is less greenery. There are trees and a few small parks here, but I come from the countryside myself, so this is very different. But I think it's sufficient! It's just lovely living in our neighbourhood!

About De Marke 58, Drachten
The asking price of €359,000 is about 20% below the average asking price of €448,654 for homes in Drachten centrum. However, this apartment is also smaller than the neighbourhood average (95 m² vs 150 m²). Given the modern build, central location and energy label A, the price appears competitive for what's on offer.
The apartment has energy label A, which means it's very energy-efficient. You can expect low heating and electricity costs compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, about 38.5% of homes have label A, so this is a strong point.

The nearest primary school, Katholieke Jenaplan Basisschool St. Lukas, is 434 metres away (about a five-minute walk). For secondary education, Gomarus College (453 m) and OSG Singelland - Drachtster Lyceum (500 m) are both within a ten-minute walk.
