Wolfsbos, Hoogeveen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Sperwerlaan 139 sits in a lively part of Hoogeveen, with the daily essentials just a short walk away. At 75 m² and with an energy label C, it's a manageable home that's ready for its next owner. The asking price of €245,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €352,300, partly because the floor area is 34% smaller than the local norm. For context, that price is well below the median for apartments in Hoogeveen.
Wolfsbos is a mixed area with around 4,270 residents, a fair share of families and a good number of older residents too. Based on three reviews, opinions vary: one resident calls it "Normal", noting that "the neighbourhood has many different cultures and everyone gets along with each other" and that it's close to a swimming pool and shops. Another describes it as "Mediocre", pointing out run-down parts and loitering youths, but also that "the centre and station are nicely close by, bus services are also good and there is quite a lot of greenery." A third simply says "Everything good." So it's a neighbourhood with character and contrasts. For more context, see the Wolfsbos neighbourhood.
Your daily shopping is sorted: the PLUS supermarket is on your doorstep, and an Aldi is just around the corner. For bread or a quick bite, there's a restaurant 0.7 km away. Families will find several schools within walking distance: O.B.S. de Goudvink and De Krullevaar christelijke Jenaplanschool are both a couple of streets away, while the Regional Scholengemeenschap Wolfsbos is a five-minute walk for secondary education. The neighbourhood also has a park or public garden just 0.3 km away. For a wider view of the area, check out the municipality of Hoogeveen.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Bruins Makelaardij, Vastgoed Nederland and Funda.

Good · 3 residents
There used to be many more things to do, such as playgrounds and schoolyards, but over time everything has been removed to make way for houses. The neighbourhood has many different cultures and everyone gets along with each other. This neighbourhood is also very close to a swimming pool and shops, such as a supermarket, physiotherapy, childcare, and even several schools.
Auto-translated to English by AIParts of the neighbourhood have become run-down, the shopping centre is old and ugly, lots of loitering youths. A number of flats are really ready to be demolished. Clearly a poorer neighbourhood of Hoogeveen compared to other areas where I have lived before. The centre and station are nicely close by, bus services are also good and there is quite a lot of greenery in the area.

About Sperwerlaan 139, Hoogeveen
The asking price of €245,000 is 30% below the neighbourhood average of €352,300, which makes it keen. However, the floor area of 75 m² is also 34% smaller than the local average of 114 m². So you're paying less for a smaller home. The median sold price in the area is €365,000, but that includes larger properties. For a like-for-like comparison, the average price per m² in Wolfsbos is €3,125, which would put this apartment at around €234,375 based on size alone.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1968). In the neighbourhood, 43.8% of homes have label C, so it's typical. A C label means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier; you can expect moderate energy bills. It's not as efficient as an A or B label, but it's better than D or lower.
The PLUS supermarket is just 55 metres away, literally on your doorstep. There's also an Aldi at 169 metres, so daily groceries are very convenient. For a wider selection, Albert Heijn is about 1 km away.
Several schools are within walking distance. For primary education, O.B.S. de Goudvink is 267 metres away and De Krullevaar christelijke Jenaplanschool is 277 metres.

Hoogeveen train station is 3.5 km from the apartment. That's about a 10-minute drive or a 45-minute walk. Bus services in the area are described as good by residents, so you could also take a bus to the station.
