Oude Gasfabriek, Assen
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on the Vaart Z.Z. has been standing since 1830 and feels like a real landmark. With 742 m² of floor space and a 495 m² plot, it is unusually spacious for a home in the city centre. The asking price of €895,000 is on the high side, but that reflects the sheer size and the fact that end-of-terrace houses in Assen of this calibre rarely come up.
The neighbourhood Oude Gasfabriek is a small, quiet neighbourhood with just 255 residents. Most homes are owner-occupied (92%) and almost all are single-family houses (94%). The population is mixed: many are between 45 and 65, but there are also families with children. One resident says: "It is a peaceful area with a village feel, yet you are in the centre within minutes." Another notes: "The park is right there, and the neighbours are friendly." Based on two reviews, it is a close-knit community.
For your morning bread, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, and Jumbo and Dirk are a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, Kindcentrum Theo Thijssen, is a five-minute walk, and Kindcentrum Emmaschool is also within easy reach. The park or public garden is on your doorstep, so a quick stroll or a picnic is effortless. The municipality Assen offers all the amenities you need.
