Beilen, Midden-Drenthe
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hekstraat 3B sits in a quiet part of Beilen, a town with plenty of green and a friendly atmosphere. At 102 m², it's a good size for a couple or small family, and with energy label B, it's reasonably efficient. The asking price of €275,000 is notably keen, 42% below the neighbourhood average of €475,727, partly because the home is smaller than the typical Beilen home (which averages 150 m²). For context, apartments in Midden-Drenthe tend to be more compact, so this one offers good value.
Beilen is a mixed neighbourhood with around 9,350 residents. Reviews are generally positive: one resident says "I love Beilen" and notes "nice people, plenty of green". Another describes it as a "quiet neighbourhood" with a community centre, primary school and supermarket within walking distance. However, one review mentions some deterioration in parts, with lower social housing and drug dealing known to the police, though the same reviewer acknowledges many facilities nearby. Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores an average of 7.4 out of 10. The area has a mix of ages, with many families and older residents, and most homes are owner-occupied. For more on the area, see Beilen.
Daily errands are easy: Albert Heijn is just around the corner, Aldi and Jumbo are a couple of streets away, and there's a Poiesz within a ten-minute walk. For schools, IKC Harm Smeenge (primary) is a five-minute walk, and IKC G.A. de Ridder is a couple of streets further. Secondary education is also close by, with the Vincent van Gogh Lyceum and Dr. Nassau College both within walking distance. The town centre, with restaurants and a library, is about a ten-minute walk. For more on the wider area, see municipality Midden-Drenthe.

Positive but the neighbourhood around the street where we live is deteriorating. Lower social class rental homes, many foreign people and drug dealing in the area, also known to the police. Furthermore, many facilities in the area, shops, schools, a GP practice and a community centre.

About Hekstraat 3B, Beilen
The asking price of €275,000 is 42% below the average asking price in Beilen (€475,727) and also below the minimum asking price of €350,000 in the neighbourhood. However, this apartment is smaller than the typical Beilen home (102 m² vs 150 m² average). Given the size and the fact that it's an apartment rather than a house, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact unit in this market.
The energy label is B, which is quite efficient. It means the home has good insulation and relatively low energy costs compared to older homes. In Beilen, about 27% of homes have label B, so it's a solid rating. You won't face the high heating bills associated with labels D or lower.
The nearest train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. That makes it feasible for commuting, though not directly on your doorstep.
Based on resident reviews, the neighbourhood is generally quiet and friendly, with many families and older residents. One resident says 'nice people, plenty of green'. However, another review mentions some issues with lower social housing and drug dealing in parts of the area. Overall, the neighbourhood scores 7.4 out of 10 from three reviews.
Yes, there are several primary schools within walking distance: IKC Harm Smeenge (260 m), IKC G.A. de Ridder (451 m), and Chr. Kindcentrum de Eshorst (567 m). For secondary education, the Vincent van Gogh Lyceum and Dr. Nassau College are both about 600 m away, so children can walk or cycle easily.
Albert Heijn is just 131 m away, Aldi at 207 m, and Jumbo at 268 m, all within a few minutes' walk. There's also a Poiesz at 797 m. So daily grocery shopping is very convenient.
The apartment was built in 2002, so it's relatively modern. With energy label B, it's likely well-insulated and in good condition. No major renovations are expected soon, but as with any home, a survey would confirm specifics.
