Satisfactory · 2 residents
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 Verlengde Vaart ZZ 119, Erica
The asking price of €519,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €485,100 and the median of €442,000. However, this home has 246 m² of living space on a large 1920 m² plot, which is more than typical. The average price per m² in the area is €2,416, so the price per m² here is about €2,110, which is actually below average. So it's priced competitively for its size.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1980). In the neighbourhood, 60% of homes have label C, so it's typical. A C label means moderate energy efficiency; you can expect reasonable heating costs but not as low as a modern A-rated home.
The plot is 1920 m², which is very large. While the listing doesn't specify a garden, the size suggests plenty of outdoor space. You'd have room for a lawn, patio, and perhaps even a vegetable patch or play area.
Erica-Centrum has a mix of families and older residents. About 36% of households have children, and there are several primary schools within walking distance. One resident describes it as "nice and quiet" with "lovely people," while another notes a lack of activities for teenagers. It's a safe area with low crime (66 incidents total).
The nearest train station is 6 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a car or bus to reach it. The village itself is not well connected by public transport, so a car is almost essential.
The PLUS supermarket is about 900 m away, a ten-minute walk. There's also a doctor, pharmacy, and bakery in the village. For more variety, you'd need to drive to Emmen, about 10 km away. A restaurant is just around the corner.
In the past year, sold homes in the neighbourhood took an average of 51 days to sell. That's a reasonable timeframe, suggesting a balanced market. The current listing has 10 homes for sale, so there's some choice.
