Frequently asked questions
About Polakkers 2, Buinen

The energy label is C, so heating costs should be moderate. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the space and the quiet village setting.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label C is in the middle of the scale, it means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. It does not tell you exactly which parts of the house are insulated or how the heating system works.

Experiences from Borger-Odoorn
How residents experience their municipality
Very nice village with the downside that accessibility by public transport is poor.
Auto-translated to English by AIYes, Stadskanaal is nice to live in, everything is well organised and there's plenty to do if you also have a car, and it's nice and close to Germany. But the youth at school is a problem. Everyone is unkind to each other, they take relationships for just a few months at a time, and everyone talks behind each other's backs, and online they post things about each other, and speaking of which, I myself was posted online two days ago with a photo of me and my address included. But it's been taken down fortunately, but it's still a strange thing to do. But yeah, that kind of weird stuff happens here.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has little contact with each other because people here are quite independent. Sometimes we do have contact, but that's just a small chat when we happen to run into each other. The only people you see/hear hanging out together here often abuse alcohol.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a boring neighbourhood, especially for young people.
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood where they do a lot together with BBQ parties or on Neighbour's Day is always super fun
