The Oude Molenbuurt neighbourhood
The Oude Molenbuurt neighbourhood has been through a lot of renovation and is now an excellent place to live, according to one resident. They note that there is little police presence and dealers are around regularly, but they do not necessarily cause trouble. The same resident mentions poor contact with the neighbours, but also points out the greenery and the nearby canal. The city centre is about 100 metres away, and there are some shops within the neighbourhood itself. Accessibility and traffic safety are fine in most respects, though the schools in the area are all Christian, so for a public school you would have to cycle a bit further. This is based on one review.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, the AH XL is just around the corner, with Dirk and Jumbo a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a short walk, including Christelijk Kindcentrum Het Kompas and Basisschool De Cirkel, while Gomarus College for secondary education is also close by. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of older residents, with many single-person households. It is a quiet, green part of the municipality of Assen, with the canal nearby for a stroll.
