Renting in Peelo: a small private sector, but spacious homes
Of the approximately 2,950 homes in Peelo, 35% are rental properties. The majority of these are owned by a housing association (24%), while the private sector remains limited to around 11% of the stock. This makes rental homes in Peelo outside the social sector scarce. In the private sector, only three homes were rented out last year, with an average rent of €1,000 per month and an average living area of 133 m². The range was €1,000 to €1,000 per month, indicating that supply is limited and not very diverse. These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing.

The average WOZ value in Peelo is €235,000, significantly lower than the municipal average of Assen (€278,000), reflecting the relatively affordable price range of the neighbourhood.

Peelo from the inside: green, quiet and strongly family-oriented
Those who live in Peelo typically describe the neighbourhood as quiet and green, with a clear suburban character. The neighbourhood lies on the northwest side of Assen and consists of several sub-areas, each with its own atmosphere. Peelerpark has a somewhat more modern look, while sub-areas like De Velden/De Stukken and De Landen/De Akkers have more of the classic 1970s and 1980s Assen feel: terraced houses, spacious gardens, wide streets. Residents appreciate on the Peelo neighbourhood page especially the peace and accessibility of green spaces. One resident writes: "You live here quietly, the children can play outside and you're in the city centre within ten minutes." That says a lot about the neighbourhood's appeal for families.
Facilities in Peelo itself are functional but limited. There are primary schools, a GP and some small-scale shops, but for a wide range of shops, the centre of Assen is the place to go. Bus connections are reasonable, although a car or bike is more comfortable in practice. The cycle path to the centre takes about fifteen minutes, which is fine for many residents. The sub-area De Kampen/De Essen borders on more urban facilities and is therefore slightly livelier. Those looking for more urban dynamism might also consider the centre of Assen or the nearby neighbourhood Lariks.
The population of Peelo is relatively ageing: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years (1,770 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (1,135). You notice that in the neighbourhood. It is quiet during the day, social cohesion is high and there are few complaints about nuisance. At the same time, this means the neighbourhood is less vibrant than younger neighbourhoods in Assen. Renting in Peelo is therefore really for people who prioritise peace and space over urban living.
