Very good · 1 resident
A few years ago there was a stabbing in my street, which did leave an impression. Fortunately, all the neighbours are very friendly and you never have any trouble with them. I also think the education in the neighbourhood is quite poor, but there are a few very good schools that are not much further than the schools in this neighbourhood. Furthermore, there are many trees in the neighbourhood, which makes everything a bit cosier and is also more pleasant for the eye. A 200-metre walk brings you to a small shopping centre with everything you need: a pharmacy, a supermarket, a chemist, a baker, a butcher, a post office and a few more cosy little shops for products you don't easily find in the supermarket. In short: an ideal neighbourhood.

The flat is smaller than average (70 m² vs 99 m²), which partly explains the lower price, but it still represents good value for a two-bedroom apartment in a quiet, green part of Assen.
