Lariks from the inside: quiet, but not enough for everyone
Lariks is a neighbourhood that divides its residents. The average resident rating on the Lariks neighbourhood page stands at 7.2 out of 10, based on three reviews. Safety scores highest (8.0), as does education (8.0). That picture matches what residents write: Majdoulin Alzarkan describes the neighbourhood as "quiet and safe where children can play outside" and mentions the nearby shopping centre as a plus. R.H. partly confirms that picture: "it's quite a quiet neighbourhood" and emphasises the good accessibility to Groningen and Zwolle. But there are also critical voices. Chris gives the neighbourhood a 6.6 and is clear: "In this neighbourhood there is nothing. Everything is gone. Have to go to another neighbourhood for activities." That touches on a real point: the amenities score is 6.7 and the community score is 6.7, the lowest subscores. Those looking for an active neighbourhood life will not easily find it here.
Lariks consists of several sub-neighbourhoods with their own character. In De Lariks Oost and De Lariks West you will find typical post-war residential streets, quiet and green but also somewhat uniform. Landgoed Lariks has a greener appearance. Accessibility is reasonable: from the neighbourhood you can get onto the A28 relatively quickly, and public transport takes you to the centre of Assen, although several residents think the bus connections could be better. Those wanting more urban vibrancy can also look at the offerings in the Centre of Assen or the nearby neighbourhood Noorderpark.
The population composition is diverse: the largest group is 25 to 45 years old (over 1,400 residents), but those aged 65 and over are also well represented (over 1,400). With 1,725 single-person households, this is also a neighbourhood where many people live alone. The average income is €29,100, clearly below the Assen average of €34,300. That fits the profile: Lariks is an affordable, quiet residential neighbourhood without much fuss.
Renting in Lariks: who is this suitable for, and who not?
Renting in Lariks is attractive for people who value peace and safety, have a limited budget, and are not dependent on many local amenities. Families with children will find safe streets and good schools. Single people and elderly people already live here in large numbers. For those specifically looking for a lively environment with restaurants, shops and cultural offerings within walking distance, Lariks is less suitable.

There's nothing in this neighbourhood. Everything is gone. Have to go to other districts for activities, etc. I drive an electric wheelchair myself and that makes it even more difficult.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a pretty decent neighbourhood, sometimes there are fireworks or other loud noises, and you often hear the police and ambulance driving by. But otherwise it's a fairly quiet neighbourhood and I'm glad I live here, I can easily get to other places from here. Like Groningen or Zwolle. Which is very handy.
