Good · 3 residents
There used to be many more things to do, such as playgrounds and schoolyards, but over time everything has been removed to make way for houses. The neighbourhood has many different cultures and everyone gets along with each other. This neighbourhood is also very close to a swimming pool and shops, such as a supermarket, physiotherapy, childcare, and even several schools.
Auto-translated to English by AIParts of the neighbourhood have become run-down, the shopping centre is old and ugly, lots of loitering youths. A number of flats are really ready to be demolished. Clearly a poorer neighbourhood of Hoogeveen compared to other areas where I have lived before. The centre and station are nicely close by, bus services are also good and there is quite a lot of greenery in the area.

About De Reiger 171, Hoogeveen
The asking price of €250,000 is 29% below the average asking price in Wolfsbos (€352,300) and also below the median of €365,000. However, the floor area of 59 m² is 48% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 114 m², so the price per square metre works out at about €4,237, which is above the neighbourhood average of €3,125 per m². So while the total price is low, you are paying a premium per square metre for a smaller home.
