The Oude Molenbuurt neighbourhood
The Oude Molenbuurt neighbourhood is a quiet, green part of Assen, with the canal nearby and the city centre just a short walk away. Based on one resident review, the area has been renovated and is now considered excellent, though the same review notes that police presence is limited and dealers are seen regularly, without causing trouble. The reviewer also mentions that contact with neighbours is poor, but that there is plenty of greenery and some shops within the neighbourhood itself. The resident found accessibility and traffic safety fine in most respects, but noted that the local schools are all Christian, so a public school meant cycling a bit further.
Life on the street
The daily routine here is well covered. For groceries, Jumbo is just around the corner, with AH XL and Dirk a couple of streets away. For schools, Christelijk Kindcentrum Het Kompas is on your doorstep, while Kindcentrum Theo Thijssen and Basisschool De Cirkel are within a five-minute walk. Secondary education is also close, with the Vincent van Gogh school a short stroll away. The wider area, the municipality of Assen, offers everything you need for day-to-day life.
