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 193, Hoogeveen
The asking price of €195,000 is 45% below the average asking price in Wolfsbos (€352,300), but the apartment is also 48% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 114 m². Given the compact size and energy label D, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a smaller, older apartment in this area.
The energy label is D. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with a better label. In Wolfsbos, most homes for sale have labels A to C, so this one is below average in that respect.
The nearest train station is 3.5 km away, so it's not within walking distance but is reachable by bike or bus.
There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including O.B.S. de Goudvink (590 m) and De Krullevaar (588 m). Secondary schools are also nearby, with the nearest about 0.8 km away.
The neighbourhood recorded 137 total crimes in the latest data, which is moderate. Some residents note that parts of the area have become run-down and there can be loitering youths, but others say different cultures get along well and the area has greenery.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or any outdoor space. The plot size is not given, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor area unless confirmed by the agent.
