Emmerhout, Emmen
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Het Weeld sits in a leafy corner of Emmerhout, a neighbourhood where the streets are lined with green and the pace is relaxed. At 92 m² with an energy label D, it's a solid home that could use some modernisation. The asking price of €192,500 is 49% below the neighbourhood average of €380,969, making it a keen entry point into the market, especially when you consider that most other apartments in Emmen in this price range are smaller.
Emmerhout is a quiet, green neighbourhood with a mix of families and older residents. Based on three reviews, one resident calls it "cosy and quiet" and another says "a very good neighbourhood". A third resident sums it up: "Lots of green with everything within walking distance". The neighbourhood has a strong sense of community, though one review notes that the housing association sometimes places tenants without adequate support. The area is predominantly owner-occupied (46%) and mostly built between 1970 and 1990. For more context, see the municipality Emmen page.
Your daily routine here is easy: grab bread at Jumbo just around the corner or Lidl a couple of streets away. For school runs, RK/PC Jenaplanschool Kristalla and De Kubus are both on your doorstep. The neighbourhood is well connected by bus, and the city centre is a short bike ride away. The park is just a couple of streets away, perfect for a morning stroll or walking the dog.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Karen Frieling Woonhuismakelaars and also appears on other channels, so you have several ways to get in touch.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is generally quiet, with a drug user here and there, but you get that everywhere. There is plenty of green, shops within walking distance, and the city centre is easily reachable by bus or bike. They've also thought about the children, which is always nice, and we are surrounded by forest, so if you enjoy a walk or have dogs, you can easily go into the woods – what more could you want? Downside: the housing association doesn't consider what kind of people they place. For example, I have a neighbour next to me who causes enormous nuisance, a heavy hard drug addict, spent 13 years in prison, and a TBS patient or ex-TBS patient. The man is 53, has never lived on his own, and is just thrown in without supervision, which is obviously asking for trouble. I've lived next to him for 19 months now, don't get a wink of sleep at night because he's active then, and the housing association says they don't know what to do with him, and the police in Emmen don't even come because, in our opinion, they're simply afraid of him. This is the only downside, but it's probably a national issue, as you see on TV that organisations, housing associations, and the police work at cross purposes, and as a result, help often comes too late. Other than that, I really enjoy living here.

About Het Weeld 178, Emmen
The asking price is 49% below the average asking price in Emmerhout (€380,969), but the apartment is also 31% smaller than the neighbourhood average (133 m²). Given the energy label D and the need for some updates, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a 92 m² flat in this area.
The energy label is D. In Emmerhout, most available homes have a better label (36.8% label A, 26.3% label B, 26.3% label C), so this home is less efficient than average. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern property.
