Auto-translated to English by AIHey, I'm Dyde and I'm 17 years old. I've lived here for a large part of my life and generally have nothing negative to say about this neighbourhood. Mostly elderly people and children live here. It gives a safe feeling, with the essentials within walking distance. Plenty of playgrounds and child-friendliness. I never hear about strange things happening here or anything like that, and I'm very satisfied with it! Ps. Sorry if my sentence structure isn't perfect, it's late :)
Auto-translated to English by AIFamily-friendly neighbourhood with many children. Basic amenities like a supermarket very close by and a shopping centre a bit further away. Accessible by public transport and close to a motorway.

About Sydwende 70, Drachten
The price is on the high side compared to other homes in De Drait west, but this is a large detached house on a plot of over 1,100 m². The floor area of 243 m² and the quiet, green location justify a premium. There are no recent sales figures for the immediate neighbourhood in the data, so it is best to compare with similar properties in Drachten.
The home has energy label C. That means it is reasonably efficient, but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy costs, though the exact amount depends on usage. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, so this is typical for a house built in 1977.
The nearest train station is 19.86 km away, so this is not a home for daily commuting by rail. Drachten itself has no station, so you would need to drive or take a bus to reach the railway network.
Residents say it is child-friendly with plenty of playgrounds and a safe atmosphere. The data shows a mix of ages, with many older people and children. Primary schools are within walking distance, and there are several playgrounds in the area.
Yes, the Jumbo and Lidl are both about 734 metres away, so a five-minute walk. For organic groceries, Ekoplaza is 1.7 km away. Daily shopping is easy without a car.
The plot is 1,111 m², which is very generous. The listing does not specify how much of that is garden, but with a plot this size there is plenty of outdoor space. You would need to view the property to see the exact layout.
