Neighbourliness and disappearing playgrounds: how residents experience the neighbourhood
On Buurtje.nl, residents give the Hoogeveen neighbourhood a 6.4 out of 10, based on six reviews. That is not an outstanding score, but the stories behind it paint a nuanced picture. What stands out: accessibility scores highest at 7.2, while residents are least satisfied with the state of housing (5.8) and the attractiveness of the neighbourhood (5.7).
Resident Alina Bonen gives an 8.0 and describes the "neighbourliness" in the neighbourhood: a place where people look out for each other, help each other and tolerate each other. She notes that there is sometimes nuisance from young people, but that the neighbourhood resolves this itself without the police having to get involved. At the same time, she observes that many homes are old and in need of replacement. This ties in with the low score for housing. Resident Dani Pluister (7.6) recalls that there used to be more playgrounds and schoolyards, but that these have disappeared over time to make way for new construction. He positively mentions the proximity of the swimming pool and shops, and the cultural diversity in the neighbourhood: "Everyone can get along with each other."
Less enthusiastic is Dickie (6.9), who warns that facilities are under pressure. According to him, many shops have already left the Tamboerpassage, partly because the municipality of Hoogeveen prefers concentration on the Hoofdstraat. For residents with mobility issues, this is a real problem. Want to read all the reviews and detailed neighbourhood statistics?

Renting in Hoogeveen: for whom and for whom not?
With a large share of single-person households (5,670 of the households) and a sizeable group of over-65s (6,395 residents), the neighbourhood mainly attracts singles and older people. The affordable rents and high proportion of housing association properties make it interesting if you are looking for a rental home without a top salary. For starters who want to rent an apartment in Hoogeveen, the neighbourhood is a logical starting point, although the choice in the free sector is limited. If you are looking for more space or higher housing quality, it is worth also looking at homes for sale in Hoogeveen.

The labour participation rate of 61% is below the national average, which says something about the economic dynamics.

Nice neighbourhood where people look out for each other, help each other and tolerate each other. Sometimes there is a bit of nuisance from youth, but it never lasts long and never gets out of hand because the neighbourhood keeps an eye on things so the police don't have to get involved. Only a shame that the houses are old and in need of replacement. That's the only downside.
Auto-translated to English by AIAll amenities in the neighbourhood for now, but if the council gets its way it will get worse. Many shops have already left the Tamboerpassage because the council preferred them to move to the Hoofdstraat, despite the fact that many residents who are often not very mobile now have to walk a long way from many shops. As for the eye-catcher; it is meant for empty cans and drink cartons but is filled at least several times a week by antisocial neighbours who dump large rubbish bags full of junk in it, making the opening unusable and the rubbish ending up on the grass.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere used to be many more things to do, such as playgrounds and schoolyards, but over time everything has been removed to make way for houses. The neighbourhood has many different cultures and everyone gets along with each other. This neighbourhood is also very close to a swimming pool and shops, such as a supermarket, physiotherapy, childcare, and even several schools.
Auto-translated to English by AIParts of the neighbourhood have become run-down, the shopping centre is old and ugly, lots of loitering youths. A number of flats are really ready to be demolished. Clearly a poorer neighbourhood of Hoogeveen compared to other areas where I have lived before. The centre and station are nicely close by, bus services are also good and there is quite a lot of greenery in the area.
