Gieten, Aa en Hunze
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Stationsstraat in Gieten is a rare find: at 127 m² it's generous for a flat, and the price of €298,000 is remarkably keen, 52% below the neighbourhood average of €626,036. It's the cheapest of the 14 homes currently for sale in Gieten. The building dates from 1955 and has an F energy label, so heating costs will be something to factor in. For context, most other homes in the area have better energy ratings. Apartments in Aa en Hunze are scarce at this price point.
Gieten is a village where opinions differ. One resident describes it as "cosy" with a neighbourhood WhatsApp group, friendly neighbours and a nice atmosphere. Another paints a less rosy picture: "safety in Gieten is very poor, many young people are very antisocial. I don't dare go out alone (as a girl) in the evening/night." The same reviewer notes that facilities are limited, a few shops, a snack bar and two pizzerias, but education is extensive with two primary schools, two childcare centres and a secondary school. Accessibility is fine by bus or car. Based on two reviews, the average score is 6.94 out of 10. Gieten is a mixed bag.
For your daily shopping, Jumbo is on your doorstep, and Lidl is just around the corner. Bread, milk and groceries are a two-minute walk. For school runs, Kindcentrum De Marke (primary) is a couple of streets away, and Dr. Nassau College (secondary) is a five-minute walk. The village centre with restaurants and a park is within easy walking distance. Municipality Aa en Hunze offers a quiet, rural setting.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Mijn Makelaar Meertens B.V. and appears on several channels.

I think safety in Gieten is very poor, many young people are very antisocial. I don't dare go out alone (as a girl) in the evening/night. The community is unsociable, arguments break out quickly and the youngsters are terribly antisocial. There are hardly any facilities, there is nothing for young people to do. There are a few shops and 1 snack bar & 2 pizzerias. Accessibility is fine in itself, you can easily get to public transport by bus. By car it's even easier. Education is very extensive for 1 village. There are 2 primary schools, 2 childcare centres and 1 secondary school.

About Stationsstraat 22, Gieten
Yes, it's very keen. The asking price is 52% below the average asking price in Gieten (€626,036) and it's the cheapest of the 14 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, the floor area is 52% smaller than the neighbourhood average (263 m²) and the energy label is F, so running costs will be higher than for a more efficient home.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In Gieten, 42.9% of homes for sale have label A, and only 14.3% have label D or lower. An F label means the home is not well insulated and you can expect high heating bills. It's worth checking what improvements are possible.
At 127 m², this apartment is 52% smaller than the average home for sale in Gieten (263 m²). But for an apartment, 127 m² is actually quite spacious, many flats are smaller. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €2,892, so this home works out at about €2,346 per m², which is below average.
Reviews are mixed. One resident calls Gieten "cosy" with a neighbourhood WhatsApp group and friendly neighbours. Another says safety is poor, with antisocial young people and arguments, and doesn't feel safe going out alone at night. The average review score is 6.94 out of 10 based on two reviews.
Jumbo is 80 metres away and Lidl is 169 metres, both within a minute or two walk. For primary education, Kindcentrum De Marke is 471 metres away, and Dr. Nassau College (secondary) is 740 metres. There are also two childcare centres and a second primary school within the village.
The nearest train station is 15 km away, so this is not a location for daily commuting by rail. Bus connections are available, and by car accessibility is good.
The main reasons are the small floor area relative to the neighbourhood average (127 m² vs 263 m²) and the poor energy label (F). Most homes for sale in Gieten are larger and have better energy ratings. The price reflects that this is a budget-friendly option in a village where the median asking price is €600,000.
