Oude Molenbuurt, Assen
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Nobellaan sits in a leafy part of Assen, with the canal and plenty of greenery nearby. At €239,000 it is the cheapest of the eight homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and 33% below the average asking price of €355,188, a keen entry point into the local market. For context, the floor area of 66 m² is 35% smaller than the neighbourhood average, which partly explains the price. If you are looking at apartments in Assen, this is one to consider.
One resident describes the neighbourhood Oude Molenbuurt as "quiet but distant", noting that "a lot has been renovated and it's now an excellent neighbourhood". They mention that there is little police presence and dealers are around regularly, but add that "they don't necessarily cause trouble". The neighbourhood scores an 8 out of 10 based on that single review. CBS figures show a high proportion of one-person households (665 out of 1,775 residents) and a large share of residents aged 65 or older (645). The area is very urban, with an address density of 2,926 per km².
For daily shopping, you have an AH XL just around the corner, a Dirk a couple of streets away, and a Jumbo within a five-minute walk. There are several primary schools nearby: Christelijk Kindcentrum Het Kompas is a couple of minutes' walk, and Kindcentrum Theo Thijssen is also close. Secondary schools are a bit further, with Vincent van Gogh VWO/Havo/Mavo about a ten-minute walk. The city centre is about 100 metres away, so you can walk to restaurants and the library in no time. The municipality Assen offers good amenities within easy reach.

A lot has been renovated and it's now an excellent neighbourhood, although there is little police presence so there are dealers regularly, but they don't necessarily cause trouble. Poor contact with the neighbours, but they all seem like sourpusses to me so I don't know if that's a minus or a plus. There is a lot of greenery in the neighbourhood and the canal is nearby. The city centre is about 100 metres away and there are some shops in the neighbourhood itself. Accessibility and traffic safety are fine in most respects, but the schools in the area are all Christian, so for a public school I had to cycle a bit further.

About Nobellaan 48, Assen
At €239,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Oude Molenbuurt and 33% below the average asking price of €355,188. However, the floor area of 66 m² is 35% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 102 m², so the price per square metre is actually in line with the market. Whether it is fair depends on how much space you need.
