Zuid, Hoogeveen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Irisstraat sits in a lively part of Hoogeveen, with daily life unfolding within walking distance. At 68 m² it is compact but well laid out, and the energy label D means heating costs are something to keep an eye on. The asking price of €225,000 is 33% below the neighbourhood average for homes for sale, which makes it a keen entry point into the market, especially when you consider that apartments in Hoogeveen tend to be smaller and more affordable than family houses.
Zuid is a mixed urban area with over 6,000 residents, a high proportion of single-person households and a fair number of families. The housing stock is a mix of pre-1970 homes and newer builds, and about half the homes are owner-occupied. With an address density above 2,000, it feels distinctly urban. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here is based purely on the figures. The Zuid neighbourhood is well served by local amenities, which makes it a practical choice for daily life.
Your morning routine is simple: bread from Aldi (a five-minute walk) or PLUS (just around the corner), and primary schools like O.B.S. de Goudvink and De Krullevaar are within a couple of streets away. For secondary education, the Regionale Scholengemeenschap Wolfsbos is a ten-minute walk. The train station is 2.8 km away, so a bike or bus is handy for commuting. The municipality of Hoogeveen offers further amenities like a library and park within easy reach.

About Irisstraat 29, Hoogeveen

However, this apartment is smaller than average (68 m² vs 104 m²) and has an energy label D, which explains the lower price. Compared to recent sales in the neighbourhood, which averaged €301,756, the price seems in line with the size and condition.
The energy label is D. In Zuid, most homes for sale have a better label: 31% have label A, 19% label B, and 25% label C. Only about 19% have label D or lower. Label D means the home is not very energy efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with a better label.
