Havelte is a tight-knit Drenthe village where most people know each other. Based on three reviews, opinions are mixed. One resident says: "Nice neighbourhood with diverse ages. Good atmosphere, quiet, next to nature. Really nice to live." Another describes it as "A lovely little village to live in, everyone knows everyone culture. School, shops and swimming pool within walking distance." A third review is far more critical, mentioning a "harsh, somewhat hateful culture" and a "self-contained community cut off from the rest of the country." The neighbourhood has 3,225 residents, with a mix of ages and a high proportion of single-person households. For more context, see municipality Westerveld.

Auto-translated to English by AIA lovely little village to live in, everyone knows everyone culture. School, shops and swimming pool within walking distance.
Auto-translated to English by AIPetty working-class neighbourhood, full of gossip and intrigue. Bullying culture. Excluding those who think differently. If you're an outsider, not 'working-class' enough, if your social position is very low, you're a target. Harsh, somewhat hateful culture. Two groups: the golf club elite and the Boer and Burger supporters. I belong to neither and therefore find no connection. I find the alcohol consumption and the frequent violence striking. Things that are overlooked. Their own customs, own rules, own laws. A self-contained community cut off from the rest of the country. They only respect rules if they can use them to muzzle people they don't like. And those rules never apply to them. A very strange culture. After 11 years, I still marvel at it every day. The municipality only stands up for its own kind. Very authoritarian, biased and corrupt. Corrupt: cronyism and conflicts of interest. Building one-sided dossiers against people they don't like. As for nature: everything is being demolished, for the past 10 years. The forests have been thinned out, stripped for financial gain. Facilities: without a car you're far from everything and the bus sometimes doesn't run at all. So you stand at the bus stop for an hour waiting for the next one. I sometimes think of Pommetje Horlepiep here.

About Korenbloemweg 30, Havelte
The asking price is 30% above the average asking price in Havelte (€645,700). However, this home is larger than average (223 m² vs 190 m²) and sits on a 615 m² plot. The price per square metre (€3,763) is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €3,627. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the energy-efficient A label.
The home has energy label A, which is very efficient. In Havelte, 37.5% of homes have label A and 12.5% have A+. This means you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to older homes with lower labels.
