Annen, Aa en Hunze
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Borghoornsweg sits in a peaceful part of Annen, a village where life moves at a gentler pace. With 114 m² of living space and a 485 m² plot, it offers room to breathe. The asking price of €375,000 is 23% below the neighbourhood average of €484,750, making it a keen option compared to other end-of-terrace houses in Aa en Hunze.
Annen is a close-knit village of around 3,500 residents, where most homes are owner-occupied and the streets are lined with single-family houses. One resident describes it as a "quiet neighbourhood, fine place to live," adding that "contact with immediate neighbours is good" and that there is "social control, but not in an annoying way." The village has sufficient daily amenities, and nearby Zuidlaren offers more extensive shopping. The municipality Aa en Hunze covers a wide rural area, so a car is handy for secondary schools and the train station.
For your morning bread, the Coop and Aldi are both just around the corner. Basisschool De Eshoek is a couple of streets away, making the school run a short walk. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and the village centre with its restaurant and library is a five-minute walk. The nearest secondary school is a longer drive, but the bus to Groningen runs every half hour.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via NAMACO Aa & Hunze.

Contact with immediate neighbours is good. You can always ask for help or to borrow a lawnmower, for example. There is social control, but not in an annoying way. More like extra eyes on the lookout, which does give a sense of safety. The village has sufficient amenities and nearby Zuidlaren has many shops, such as a chemist and a butcher. The bus connection to Groningen is great, every half hour. Secondary schools are a bit more difficult in terms of transport if you don't want to go to Gieten or Assen. People in the village are friendly, but I notice it's hard to really integrate without children.
