Historisch Centrum, Meppel
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hoofdstraat sits right in the historic centre of Meppel, with all the buzz of a lively town around you. At 49 m² it's compact, but the energy label A means low heating costs. The asking price of €325,000 is 17% below the neighbourhood average of €389,625, which makes it a keen option compared to other apartments in Meppel.
Historisch Centrum is a dense, urban area with 2,320 residents, mostly single-person households (890) and few families with children (185). 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 some litter and dog mess. The neighbourhood Historisch Centrum has a high address density (2,109 addresses per km²), so it's a busy, lively spot.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza and Jumbo are a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: P.C. Basisschool Stadskwartier and K.B.S. De Plataan. The municipality Meppel offers good amenities, with a train station a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Boelens Jorritsma Makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Good · 1 resident
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!

About Hoofdstraat 74B, Meppel
The asking price of €325,000 is 17% below the average asking price in Historisch Centrum (€389,625) and also below the median of €365,000. Given the compact 49 m² floor area, the price per m² works out at about €6,633, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,232 per m². So the price is keen overall, but the small size means a higher per-square-metre cost.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home has good insulation and low expected energy costs. In the neighbourhood, 29.6% of homes have label A, and 22.2% have A+ or better, so this flat is among the more efficient ones.
The train station is 1.3 km away, about a ten-minute walk.
Based on one review, the resident feels safe and says there are no arguments. They recognise a few neighbours and exchange friendly hellos, but don't feel strongly attached. The atmosphere is described as pleasant, with people leaving each other alone.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor space. The resident mentions a new small green area nearby for walking a dog.
With 49 m², it is likely a one-bedroom or studio, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
