The average size of those homes was 141 m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing. See the current daily prices and current supply at the top of this page. The average WOZ value in Appingedam-Oost is €195,000, clearly below the municipal average of €213,000 for Eemsdelta. This reflects the character of the neighbourhood: affordable, but also a neighbourhood that is still very much in flux.
Anyone looking for a rental home on the private market will notice that supply in Appingedam-Oost is limited. Most rental homes in the neighbourhood are allocated through housing associations, where waiting times can be long. For the current situation regarding social housing, you can contact the municipality of Eemsdelta. Anyone considering renting a flat in Appingedam-Oost via the private sector should expect relatively high prices for the region, partly due to the scarcity of supply.
Appingedam-Oost: a neighbourhood under development, with honest shortcomings
Residents rate Appingedam-Oost on Buurtje.nl with a 4.6 out of 10, based on available reviews. That is not a high score, and the sub-scores explain why. Accessibility (8.0) and education (8.0) score notably well, but on greenery (1.0), housing (3.0) and beauty (3.0) the neighbourhood scores significantly lower. The community score stands at 4.0, indicating that social cohesion is under pressure.
Resident Clark describes the neighbourhood as "a neighbourhood with opportunities", but is also honest about the downside: a lot of litter, poorly maintained houses and a neighbourhood that is slowly improving. He specifically points to the arrival of temporary homes, noting that some of the temporary residents do not consider the homes their own. That sense of temporariness seeps into the appearance of the neighbourhood. Read more experiences from residents on the neighbourhood page of Appingedam-Oost, where you can also find the full scores per category and additional neighbourhood data.
Nevertheless, there are bright spots. Accessibility scores high, which is logical: Appingedam lies on the N360 towards Groningen and has its own bus connection. Facilities such as primary schools are present and appreciated. The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas, each with its own character. For example, Solwerd has a quieter, greener appearance, while in the Eendrachtbuurt you are closer to urban amenities. Also Opwierde and the adjacent Opwierde Noord are worth exploring if you are considering renting in Appingedam-Oost. The neighbourhood has a relatively high number of over-65s (over 1,360) and single-person households (890), which colours the social profile: it is not a bustling young people's neighbourhood, but a neighbourhood with an older, independent resident profile.
Renting in Appingedam-Oost: who is this suitable for, and who is it not?
Rental homes in Appingedam-Oost are most suitable for people who consciously choose an affordable region outside the big city, for older people who want to live independently close to amenities, or for people looking for a social rental home through a housing association. Anyone considering renting a home in Appingedam-Oost in the private sector must be realistic: supply is small and prices are relatively high for what the neighbourhood offers. For couples or families looking for more greenery, a stronger community or a more attractive living environment, neighbourhoods such as Farmsumerweg or Woldweg may be a better alternative.

The neighbourhood has a lot of litter, poorly maintained houses. And a district under construction that is slowly progressing; also, with the arrival of the temporary homes, a certain stain has come to the area. This is because the people living there have a mindset of 'this is not my home' and are already very dissatisfied with everything, causing them to leave a lot of rubbish lying around. Or cause nuisance in other ways. Furthermore, the district, with its adjacent nature reserve and history, has a lot of potential to become a model neighbourhood. But to get there, a lot more is needed.
