Boven-Wildervank, Veendam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Raadhuisstraat sits in a quiet corner of Wildervank, a village where life moves at a relaxed pace. With 71 m² of living space, it's compact but cleverly laid out, and the A+++ energy label means you won't be worrying about heating bills. The asking price of €359,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €341,333, but the exceptional energy performance and the fact that apartments in Veendam with this label are rare help explain it.
Boven-Wildervank is a small, tight-knit community. One resident describes it as a "Cosy neighbourhood where everyone knows each other" and has lived there for 18 years. The area is very rural, the address density is just 193 per km², so you'll have plenty of space. Most homes are owner-occupied (88%) and almost all are single-family houses, making this apartment something of a rarity. The neighbourhood Boven-Wildervank is popular with families and older residents alike.
For your daily bread, the PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, and there's a Jumbo a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, odab Westerschool, is a five-minute walk, and there are several others within easy reach. The train station is a ten-minute drive, so you can get to Groningen or other cities without hassle. The municipality Veendam offers a good balance of village peace and city access.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Ommeland Makelaardij en Assurantiën and is also available through Funda and Pararius.

About Raadhuisstraat 16E, Wildervank
The asking price is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €341,333 and the median of €353,500. However, the apartment has an A+++ energy label, which is exceptional, none of the other homes for sale in Boven-Wildervank have an A or A+ label. The 71 m² is smaller than the local average of 120 m², so the price per m² is higher. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the low energy costs.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. In Boven-Wildervank, 67% of homes have a label D or lower, so this apartment stands out. You won't have to worry about draughts or high bills, and it's better for the environment too.
Boven-Wildervank is a quiet, family-friendly area. About 40% of households have children, and there are several primary schools within walking distance, like odab Westerschool (a five-minute walk) and CBS 't Haimstee (a couple of streets away). The village has a strong sense of community, one resident says it's a 'cosy neighbourhood where everyone knows each other'.
The PLUS supermarket is just around the corner (about a ten-minute walk), and there's a Jumbo a bit further. For dining, the nearest restaurant is 1.5 km away. The train station is 5.8 km, so you'll need a car or bike for longer trips. A GP is 1.9 km away, and a park is 1.7 km, fine for a stroll.
The building dates from 1890, but the A+++ energy label suggests it has been thoroughly modernised. The listing doesn't mention any specific renovations, but the high energy performance indicates good insulation, modern heating, and possibly solar panels. You can expect a well-maintained home with character.
With a price of €359,000, it's above the national average for a first home, but the low running costs thanks to the A+++ label could make the monthly outlay manageable. The compact size (71 m²) is typical for a starter apartment. You would need a mortgage based on the full price, as the value is in line with the local market.
