Veningerland: a quiet, green pocket

Veningerland is a calm residential neighbourhood with a mix of ages: about a quarter of residents are 45,65, and a fifth are over 65. One resident describes it as a "Cosy neighbourhood." They add: "Fortunately, all the neighbours are very friendly and you never have any trouble with them. There are many trees in the neighbourhood, which makes everything a bit cosier." The neighbourhood Veningerland has a strong sense of community, though the same resident notes that education in the immediate area is "quite poor", good schools are a short distance away.

Cosy neighbourhood.

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.

Frequently asked questions

About Echtenstraat 18, Assen

Is €199,000 a fair price for this flat?

Yes, it is priced keenly. The asking price is 40% below the neighbourhood average of €329,714 and is the lowest among the seven homes currently for sale in Veningerland. 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.

What is the neighbourhood like?

Veningerland is a quiet, tree-filled residential area with a mix of ages and a friendly community. One resident calls it a "cosy neighbourhood" and highlights the many trees and friendly neighbours. The area has a small shopping centre within a 200-metre walk, with a supermarket, pharmacy, baker and butcher. The only downside mentioned is that local schools are not top-rated, though good options are a short distance away.

How far is the train station?

Assen railway station is 3.1 km from the flat, which is about a 40-minute walk or a short bus ride. The station offers direct connections to Groningen and Zwolle.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?

The flat has energy label C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1965). You can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as a modern A-label home, but far cheaper than a G-label property. About 37.5% of homes in the neighbourhood have label C, and another 37.5% have A+.

Are there good schools nearby?

Yes, several schools are within walking distance. IKC Maria in Campisschool (primary) is just 54 metres away, and Dr. Nassau College (secondary) is 240 metres away. A resident notes that the immediate neighbourhood schools are "quite poor," but good options are available a bit further out.

How safe is Veningerland?

The neighbourhood recorded 47 total crimes in the latest data, which is moderate for an area of this size. One resident mentions a past stabbing incident but says neighbours are very friendly and there is no trouble. Overall, it feels safe and quiet.
