The asking price of €195,000 is on the low side compared to other detached houses in Het Hogeland, which typically sell for more. The home has 87 m² of floor area and a 230 m² plot, built in 1925. Given the quiet location and the size, the price appears keen for what is on offer.
Energy label D is the official registration from EP-Online. It means the home is not in the most efficient category, so you can expect moderate heating costs.
The nearest supermarkets are about 4.5 km away: the Coop and SPAR are both within a five-minute drive. For a larger selection, Albert Heijn and Aldi are about 7.5 km away in the next town. Daily shopping by car is straightforward, but walking is not practical.

How residents experience their district
Nice and pleasant but also a bit boring village, living is nice and quiet but you are half an hour's drive or 45 minutes by bus away from the city. Otherwise, nice surroundings for a quiet bike ride or a tour on a moped or by car.
Auto-translated to English by AIWith just one neighbour, this can hardly be called a "neighbourhood". I live at Wierhuisterweg 20 outside Pieterburen, consisting of three houses and one farm, amidst green farmland with clean air and silence. The bus stops in front of my house on request. I am 90 years old and live here alone, completely satisfied: I have a scooter, e-bike and 45km/h car, internet, television, a garden all around with fruit trees and little birds. But most importantly: I am healthy; I have four children and seven grandchildren! There is good street lighting, the road is well maintained, and a bus stops once an hour. As a born and bred Amsterdammer, I feel completely at ease here. Although I occasionally miss the Concertgebouw, the Stadsschouwburg, the Bijenkorf, the Kalverstraat,... I am still glad that I live in the open countryside of Groningen.

Good
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood itself is fine. Just quite unsafe because young people break everything here. Furthermore, there is often a lot of rubbish and dogs poo.. the people are fine, fairly to themselves. Otherwise, the neighbourhood is not very special and there are not many facilities. (The pavement is really a problem; many elderly people have fallen because all the tiles are uneven). Otherwise, the neighbourhood is easily accessible, but parking facilities would be nice for visitors.
Auto-translated to English by AIFrom my front window I can see almost everyone coming and going from the village and greet the neighbours. The birds wake me up with their singing and come to eat from my birdhouse. The villagers are very friendly and helpful. Things are regularly organised, such as shuffleboard or billiards, and a barbecue every year. The windmill turns regularly and every Sunday you can have a cup of coffee at the mill. Once a month there's a Friday afternoon drink and once a month a Wednesday morning coffee in the village hall. I never want to leave here and am glad I moved here. In terms of safety, you can leave your door open or your car unlocked, your things in the garden, because no one will ever touch them. The community is very compassionate. Hygiene, I never see rubbish on the street and the bin is emptied every week. Housing, as far as I know there are no empty houses. Education, you have to go to another village for that. It's green everywhere here. There is no shop or GP; they are 2 km away in the next village, Eenrum. The village is easily accessible, also by bus.

Auto-translated to English by AINot much bad happens and everyone is nice to each other
Auto-translated to English by AII mainly think it's a village for old, grey and boring people. There are no places for young people, few shops and no secondary school, so you have to travel a lot by train (I personally find that awful), but luckily there is a train station in the middle of the village. Because there are mainly seniors living here, it is generally very quiet. The only thing I find unsafe about Uithuizermeeden is the fact that there are no streetlights outside the village, and people drive very fast in the polders, which is very annoying when you are cycling.
