The Noord-Oost oost neighbourhood
Noord-Oost oost is a residential area with a mix of families and single-person households, and the average household size is just under two. Around half of the homes are owner-occupied, and the rest are rented, giving the streets a settled, mixed feel. The neighbourhood is fairly urban, with a high density of addresses, yet a park is just a short stroll away. There are no resident reviews available for this area, so the picture here comes from the local statistics. For more on the area, see the Noord-Oost oost neighbourhood.
Life on the street
The daily routine here is straightforward: the Albert Heijn is just around the corner for groceries, and the Poiesz is a couple of streets away if you want a different selection. For school runs, the Eben Haezer primary school is a five-minute walk, and the JKC de Wiekslag is just a bit further. Older students can reach the Drachtster Lyceum within a short walk, which is handy for secondary education. A GP practice and a childcare centre are both close by, and the town centre of Drachten is within easy reach. All of this sits within the municipality of Smallingerland.
