Erica-Centrum, Emmen
NeighbourhoodThis detached home on Veenschapswijk sits in the quiet village of Erica, part of the Emmen municipality. With 548 m² of living space on a 1,264 m² plot, it is a substantial property built in 2008 with an A energy label. The asking price of €895,000 is the highest among the ten homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and sits 84% above the local average of €485,100, reflecting the exceptional size and quality. For context, detached houses in Emmen vary widely, but this one stands out.
Erica-Centrum is a small village centre with around 3,845 residents. It is a quiet, family-oriented area: 91% of homes are single-family, and 71% are owner-occupied. The two reviews paint contrasting pictures. One resident calls it a "Beautiful neighbourhood", "Nice little village, nice and quiet, lovely people, good neighbours." Another finds it "Boring": "There's nothing to do. Everything is super expensive in the shops. There's a doctor, pharmacy and bakery. But there's nothing for teenagers to do." The neighbourhood Erica-Centrum is not highly urbanised (address density 427), so peace comes with limited amenities.
For groceries, the nearest PLUS supermarket is just around the corner. Three primary schools are within a couple of streets away: the Protestant Christian School, the Openbare Basisschool De Anbrenge, and the Catholic De Brummelbos. A GP and a restaurant are also a five-minute walk away. Secondary education is further out,. The municipality Emmen offers more extensive facilities, but in Erica itself, daily essentials are covered.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Startbox Makelaars and appears on multiple channels. The price and details are as published by the agent.

There's nothing to do. Everything is super expensive in the shops. There's a doctor, pharmacy and bakery. But there's nothing for teenagers to do. Only the spot (cafe), football field, cafe. No activities or workshops for 18 years and older. The street is well lit but behind our house there's an alley and you can't see anything at all. There are a lot of drunk people. There are no neighbourhood parties. Neighbours make a lot of noise at 3am.

About Veenschapswijk 33, Erica
The asking price is 84% above the average asking price in Erica-Centrum (€485,100) and is the highest among the ten homes currently for sale. However, this home is also much larger than average: 548 m² versus 216 m². The price per square metre works out at about €1,633, which is below the neighbourhood average of €2,416 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting significantly more space for your money.
Erica-Centrum is a quiet village with a mix of ages, though slightly more older residents (45+). It is not very urbanised, so you will need a car for most trips. Reviews are mixed: some love the peace and friendly neighbours, while others find it boring with little for teenagers. There is a doctor, pharmacy, bakery, a café and a football field, but no workshops or activities for young adults.
The nearest train station is 6 km away. That is a drive of about 10 minutes. There is no direct train connection within walking distance, so you would rely on a car or bus for rail travel.
There are three primary schools within a short walk: the Protestant Christian School (680 m), Openbare Basisschool De Anbrenge (706 m), and the Catholic De Brummelbos (786 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 5.5 km away, so a longer commute is needed.
The home has an A energy label, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, only 10% of homes have label A, and none have A+. So this property is among the most efficient in the area, meaning lower heating costs and a smaller environmental footprint.
The property sits on a 1,264 m² plot, which typically includes garden space. However, the listing does not explicitly mention a garden, so you would need to check the exact layout with the agent.
