Living in Centrum Saneringsgebied, Hardenberg
The name 'Saneringsgebied' reveals something about the history of this neighbourhood: in the past, demolition and rebuilding took place here, with the aim of improving housing quality. The result is a mix of post-war porch flats, smaller multi-family homes and a limited number of ground-level terraced houses, spread across the inner-city zone of Hardenberg. It is not a green or spacious neighbourhood; the resident review gives green a meagre 4.0 out of 10. If you expect a garden or park within walking distance, you are better off looking at Norden en Hazenbos or Heemse-West Heemserbos, neighbourhoods with more space and greenery on the outskirts of the city.
What the neighbourhood does offer is centrality.
