Ulrum, Het Hogeland
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with real presence. With 433 m² of floor space on a 1205 m² plot, it is exceptionally large, more than three times the average home in the neighbourhood. The price of €535,000 is well above the local average of €273,000, which reflects the sheer size and the fact that it is a detached house. For context, detached houses in Het Hogeland are a rare find, and this one is among the largest.
Ulrum is a small village with around 1,300 residents. It is a rural setting: the address density is very low, and most homes are owner-occupied single-family houses. The population is mixed, with a fair share of families and older residents. There are no neighbourhood reviews available, so this description is based on CBS data. The village has a quiet, close-knit feel, typical of the area. Ulrum is part of the municipality of Het Hogeland, which covers a wide, sparsely populated region.
For daily shopping, the nearest supermarkets are about 3 km away, a SPAR, Aldi and Jumbo are all within a short drive. The closest primary school, Hendrik de Cockschool, is just under a kilometre away, so children can walk or cycle. For secondary education, you would need to travel about 6 km. A GP is 3 km away, and the nearest park or public garden is just around the corner. The municipality of Het Hogeland covers a large area, so amenities are spread out and a car is handy.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including makelaardij Stenekes and Funda. The energy label is E, which is the second-lowest band, so heating costs are something to budget for. The year of construction is 1920, but the listing does not mention any renovations or updates.

About Elensterweg 6, Ulrum
The asking price is €535,000, which is 96% above the average asking price in Ulrum (€273,000). However, this home is also much larger than average: 433 m² versus 123 m². The price per square metre works out at about €1,235, which is below the neighbourhood average of €2,256 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting a lot of space for your money.
Energy label E is the second-lowest rating on the scale. It means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively high heating and electricity costs. The label is an official registration from EP-Online. It does not tell you exactly what needs improvement, it could be the heating system, insulation or windows, but it is worth being aware of the potential running costs.
The plot measures 1,205 m², which is generous. The listing does not specify how it is laid out, whether there is a garden, terrace or outbuildings, so you would need to see it in person. With a plot this size, there is certainly room for outdoor space, but the exact configuration is not stated.
Ulrum is a small, quiet village with a low address density (217 addresses per km²), so it feels very rural. Most homes are owner-occupied single-family houses. The population is a mix of ages, with a slight skew towards older residents. There are few amenities in the village itself, so a car is useful for shopping and secondary schools.
The nearest train station is 13.8 km away. That is a drive of about 15-20 minutes. A car is practically essential for commuting or getting around.
The closest primary school is Hendrik de Cockschool, about 660 m away, an easy walk. There are several other primary schools within 3-5 km. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 6 km away, so children would need to travel further. The listing does not mention any secondary schools by name.

How residents experience their municipality
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 AINice 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 AIjust a good neighbourhood
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.
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.
