At 91 m² with an energy label C, it's a solid, practical home. The asking price of €315,000 is notably keen, 19% below the neighbourhood average of €389,625, making it a sharp option compared to other apartments in Meppel.
Historisch Centrum is a lively, central area with around 2,320 residents, many of whom live alone (890 single-person households). It's a mix of ages, with a good number of over-65s (760) and 25-to-45-year-olds (605). One resident, who has lived here for almost two years, sums it up: "All in all a pleasant place and environment to live." They appreciate the central location and the green spaces, though they note that street hygiene could be better, dog mess, litter and the occasional late-night mess are a downside. Still, they feel safe and value the friendly but respectful atmosphere. The neighbourhood Historisch Centrum is a place where you can be central without feeling crowded.
Your daily routine here is wonderfully convenient. For groceries, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, SPAR express just around the corner, and Ekoplaza a couple of streets away. For school runs, Greijdanus secondary school is a couple of streets away, while primary schools like K.B.S. De Plataan and KC Het Avontuur are a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the centre's restaurants and cafés are just around the corner. The municipality Meppel offers a compact, walkable urban life.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Boelens Jorritsma Makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Good · 1 resident
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!
