Historisch Centrum, Meppel

At €450,000, the asking price is 15% above the neighbourhood average of €389,625, which reflects the recent construction and central location. For context, apartments in Meppel vary widely, but this one stands out for its efficiency and age.
Meppel's Historisch Centrum is a compact, lively area with a mix of old and new. One resident, who has lived here for two years, says: "All in all a pleasant place and environment to live. I feel safe here and hardly anything happens. The centre has enough amenities and I don't really miss anything." They also note the green spaces: "Recently, a new small green area was added and I find this very pleasant both for the eye and for walking my dog." The neighbourhood has a high density of addresses (2,109 per km²), so it feels urban, with many singles and older residents. This is the neighbourhood Historisch Centrum, a place where you can be anonymous yet friendly.
Your daily routine here is easy: Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. For fresh bread or a quick lunch, you're spoilt for choice. Families will find P.C. Basisschool Stadskwartier on your doorstep, and K.B.S. De Plataan a short walk away. Secondary school Greijdanus is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Meppel keeps the centre tidy, though the resident mentions some litter and dog poop as downsides. Still, for central living, it's hard to beat.

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 Kromme Elleboog 48, Meppel
The asking price is 15% above the average asking price in Historisch Centrum (€389,625) and above the median of €365,000. However, this is a modern 93 m² apartment with an A label, built in 2020, which is rare in a neighbourhood where only 8% of homes were built after 2010. Recent sales averaged €340,212, so the price is on the high side, but the quality and energy efficiency justify a premium.
The energy label is A, which means the home is very energy-efficient. You can expect low heating costs and a good insulation standard. In the neighbourhood, about 52% of homes have label A or better, so this apartment is well above average.
The resident review says: "I feel safe here and hardly anything happens." There were 255 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood, but the resident notes that incidents are limited to occasional shouting among young people. Overall, it feels safe.
You have Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza just around the corner (206 m), Jumbo a couple of streets away (273 m), and Lidl a five-minute walk (311 m). Restaurants are on your doorstep (200 m), and the train station is 1.3 km away, a ten-minute walk. Schools, a library, and a park are all within a ten-minute walk.
The apartment is 93 m² with an efficient layout, but the neighbourhood has few families, only 185 households with children out of 1,438. The resident mentions that people keep to themselves, so it's more suited to couples or singles who want a central, low-maintenance home. There are good schools nearby, though.
In Historisch Centrum, sold homes took an average of 39 days to sell. That's a reasonable pace, not extremely fast, but not slow either. With 28 homes currently for sale, there is some choice, but this apartment's modern specs may attract interest.
