NeighbourhoodThis 1930s detached house on Torenstraat sits right in the centre of Drachten, with a floor area of 140 m² and a generous plot of 344 m². The energy label is D, which is less efficient than most of the current housing stock in the neighbourhood. At €398,000, the asking price is below the neighbourhood average of €448,654, making it a keenly priced option compared to other detached houses in Smallingerland.
The neighbourhood scores a 9 out of 10 from residents, based on one review. One resident says: "A child-friendly, quiet and social neighbourhood, and that while this neighbourhood is in the city centre! People almost always greet each other here. Lots of children playing nicely outside on the street! That gives a familiar and safe feeling." The area has a mix of ages, with a notable share of residents aged 65 and over (540 out of 1,365 inhabitants). It's a densely built-up area with an address density of 2,435 per km², typical of a strongly urban setting. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Drachten centrum.

People almost always greet each other here. Lots of children playing nicely outside on the street! That gives a familiar and safe feeling. So a solid pass for safety and community! And the streets always look tidy too, so I think hygiene is also more than adequate! Shops, schools and other facilities all within walking/cycling distance and easily accessible, so also a solid pass for education, housing, facilities and accessibility. Green space is a bit less, but sufficient. Because we live in the city centre, there is less greenery. There are trees and a few small parks here, but I come from the countryside myself, so this is very different. But I think it's sufficient! It's just lovely living in our neighbourhood!

About Torenstraat 29, Drachten
The asking price of €398,000 is below the average sale price in Drachten centrum (€448,654) and also under the median of €420,000. Given that the home has an energy label D and a floor area of 140 m², the price per m² works out to about €2,843, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €3,095 per m². So it appears priced for the area.
Residents describe Drachten centrum as child-friendly and social, with children playing outside and people greeting each other. The neighbourhood has 115 households with children out of 870 total households, so families are present but not the majority. Schools and shops are within walking distance, which adds to the convenience for families.
The home has an energy label D, which means it is less efficient than many homes in the neighbourhood. In Drachten centrum, 38.5% of homes have label A and 15.4% have label B, so this home will likely have higher energy costs. You may want to consider improvements to bring the label up.
Several supermarkets are just around the corner: Poiesz at 306 m, Albert Heijn at 349 m, and Aldi at 365 m. A restaurant is 200 m away, and a park or garden is 300 m away. Primary and secondary schools are also within a five-minute walk, making daily errands easy without a car.
The nearest train station is 19.3 km away, so the area is not well served by rail.
The neighbourhood recorded 257 total crimes in the latest data. With a population of 1,365, that works out to about 188 crimes per 1,000 residents, which is relatively high. However, the resident review mentions a safe feeling, so it may be that the crime is not violent or that perceptions differ.
