Living in Industriegebied Noord A, Hoogeveen
Industriegebied Noord A is not an ordinary residential neighbourhood, and that is exactly what you need to know before looking for a rental home here. It is a functional industrial estate on the north side of Hoogeveen, with business premises, sheds and storage halls as the dominant buildings. The 105 residents officially registered here live scattered across a limited number of homes, often directly on or adjacent to business plots. Think company homes, live-work units or former caretaker's houses.
The atmosphere is sober and businesslike. You do not live here in a residential area with neighbours five metres away, but on a site where trucks drive during the day, machines run and activity sets the tone. In the evenings and at weekends, it is strikingly quiet. For people who value peace, space and privacy over liveliness and walking distance to amenities, that can be a plus. For those seeking cosiness and urban dynamism, this is probably not the right neighbourhood.
Amenities in and around Industriegebied Noord A
Within the neighbourhood itself, there are hardly any public amenities. There are no supermarkets, schools or sports facilities on the site. Hoogeveen city centre is about two to three kilometres away, where you can find a Jumbo, Albert Heijn and various specialist shops in the Hoogeveen shopping centre. Primary and secondary schools are accessible from the centre or adjacent residential areas. For sports, think of sports clubs in neighbourhoods such as Hoogeveen or De Weide, which offer a more complete range of amenities for families.
Accessibility of Industriegebied Noord A
By car, the neighbourhood is easily accessible. The N375 and the junction with the A28 (towards Zwolle and Groningen) are a short distance away, making the area attractive for people who drive a lot for work. Hoogeveen city centre can be reached in five minutes. Parking on the industrial estate is generally not a problem: there is plenty of space and no permit requirement.
Public transport is limited. The nearest bus station is in Hoogeveen city centre, about a twenty-minute walk or a short bike ride. Hoogeveen station offers train connections towards Zwolle and Emmen. For daily public transport use, the neighbourhood is less suitable. Cycling to the centre is fine via the Alteveerstraat or Nijverheidsweg.
For comparison: nearby neighbourhoods such as Industriegebied Noord B and Industriegebied Toldijk have a similar industrial character, but may differ slightly in rental price and property type. Those seeking more living comfort and amenities could also look at Verspreide huizen Nijstad or Industriegebied Buitenvaart. See the neighbourhood page for Industriegebied Noord A for resident reviews and more background data on the district.
