Oude Molenbuurt, Assen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Thorbeckelaan sits in a leafy part of Assen, with the canal just a stroll away. The home is 101 m² and was built in 2008, so it's modern and energy-efficient with an A label. At €392,500, the asking price is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €355,188, but given the size and quality, it's in line with what similar apartments in Assen go for.
The neighbourhood Oude Molenbuurt is a compact, urban neighbourhood with a mix of ages, many over-65s, but also a fair share of 25-to-45-year-olds. One resident describes it as 'quiet but distant', noting that while there's little police presence and occasional dealers, they don't cause trouble. They appreciate the greenery and the nearby canal, and say the city centre is about 100 metres away. The only downside they mention is that all local schools are Christian, so for a public school they had to cycle further.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and AH XL is a five-minute walk away. There are several schools within a couple of streets: Christelijk Kindcentrum Het Kompas is on your doorstep, and Kindcentrum Theo Thijssen is a five-minute walk. For secondary school, Vincent van Gogh VWO Havo Mavo Vbo Lwoo is also a five-minute walk. The municipality Assen has plenty of restaurants and a park within walking distance, and the train station is 2.6 km away.
At the time of writing the home is listed via several channels, including Makelaardij Schierbeek, Funda, Huispedia and Pararius.

Very good · 1 resident
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.
