Historisch Centrum, Meppel
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Havenstraat 1 in Meppel's Historisch Centrum is a real character home, built in 1895 and with a solid energy label B. At 93 m², it's a comfortable size for a couple or a single person. The asking price of €298,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average, about 24% below the average of €389,625, which makes it a notable option in the market for apartments in Meppel.
Historisch Centrum is the heart of Meppel, with a mix of old and new. One resident sums it up: "All in all a pleasant place and environment to live." They appreciate the central amenities and the green spaces, though they note that street hygiene could be better, dog poop, litter and the occasional vomit from nightlife. The neighbourhood has a high density of addresses (2,109 per km²), so it feels urban. Many households are single-person (890 out of 1,490), and the average household size is just 1.6. It's a place where you recognise faces but keep to yourself, "we let each other live and leave each other alone," as the resident puts it. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Historisch Centrum.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza is a couple of streets away. There are several schools within walking distance: P.C. Basisschool Stadskwartier is a five-minute walk, and Greijdanus secondary school is similarly close. The train station is a ten-minute walk away, and the centre's restaurants are on your doorstep. The municipality Meppel offers a compact, walkable environment where most daily needs are met without a car.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including Oostergetel Makelaardij and Oostergetel Makelaardij | NVM.

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!
