The asking price of €249,500 is 23% below the average asking price in Veendam-Zuid (€323,100) and is the lowest among the five homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €309,567, so this price is on the keen side. However, the house has an E energy label and dates from 1911, which may mean higher running costs.
Veendam-Zuid is described by a resident as well-maintained, tidy and pleasant, with a safe feel. The only drawback mentioned is that part of the street has too many parked cars.

The train station is 2.0 km from the house, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride.

How residents experience their district
Unfortunately, more and more shops are disappearing and being replaced by eateries. Since a gym opened here, it attracts a lot of riffraff; the gym is open 24/7. Lots of fast-riding fatbikes, even in the pedestrian area. The municipality is very green and there is a nice walking park.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt is very safe here. I miss the concept of child-friendliness, I would give that a 6 because there are few playgrounds that are safe. The ones that exist are broken or unsafe due to the youth who break things there.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe have a 30 km/h zone but it's like a motorway sometimes in the evenings. Otherwise a nice neighbourhood to live in, nothing wrong with it, but many single people in a single-family home, which I think doesn't match the housing construction, while there are plenty of people with children looking for a home.
