If you are willing to renovate or make improvements, you can get a sizeable home here for relatively little money compared to other parts of the municipality.
Living in Angelslo: a realistic look at the neighbourhood
Angelslo is a post-war expansion neighbourhood on the south side of Emmen, built in the 1960s and 1970s. The neighbourhood has a distinctly green character: wide streets with parks, playgrounds and some larger green strips. This greenery is appreciated by residents, although the overall resident score on the neighbourhood page of Angelslo at 5.1 out of 10 is not exactly high. The sub-scores for amenities (6.3) and accessibility (6.0) are the strongest points. Safety scores the lowest at 3.3, and that is something several residents mention. Vince Tigelaar writes: "Safety could be better. In my opinion, there is a lot of crime and young people engaging in vandalism." Another resident, Leander Voots, offers a critical note on the social dynamics: a lot of cronyism and a feeling of exclusion if you haven't lived there from a young age. At the same time, he acknowledges that the municipality is working on improvements. If you want an honest view of what residents think, read the full reviews on the neighbourhood page.
In terms of amenities, Angelslo is reasonably well-off. Winkelcentrum Angelslo offers daily shopping, including a supermarket and smaller shops. For schools, there are several options in the neighbourhood itself and in the immediate vicinity, for both primary and secondary education. One resident explicitly mentions this as a plus: "In terms of schools, it is certainly very well arranged for every level and age." There is also plenty for sports: the neighbourhood has sports clubs and there are playgrounds and green areas for children. The Emmerhout forest is within cycling distance and offers some nature nearby.
In terms of accessibility, Angelslo is reasonably well connected. By bike, you can reach the centre of Emmen in about ten to fifteen minutes. Bus services run towards the centre and Emmen station, from where you can travel by train towards Zwolle and beyond. The A37 is easily accessible via the N34, making Angelslo acceptable for commuters too. If you prefer to live in a quieter, greener part of the municipality, you could also look at Barger-Compascuum or Nieuw-Dordrecht, where the atmosphere is more village-like. For those seeking more urban proximity, Angelslo remains a logical choice within the owner-occupied housing supply in Emmen due to its location.
For whom is buying in Angelslo a realistic option?
Angelslo mainly attracts first-time buyers and buyers with a limited budget, given the low entry price and the space you get for your money. The neighbourhood is less suitable for those looking for a carefree, turnkey home, but interesting for those who want to invest in a fixer-upper. In addition to the purchase price, take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers), notary fees and any renovation costs. If you are still unsure, you can also look at rental homes in Angelslo as a first step. Be honest about the neighbourhood: the low safety score and social scores require careful consideration, especially for families with children.

Look, it could be a lot better, but I still have to say it's a great neighbourhood. Every city has its less pleasant spots where you don't want to walk alone. In terms of schools, it's very well organised for every level and age – it's just good here! Many schools to choose from. Also for further education, it's very good here! Furthermore, the shops are excellent!
Auto-translated to English by AILots of "I know who I know", cronyism, if you fall outside that you're seen as an "outcast". Terrible shortcoming within the municipality! Apart from that, the accommodation etc. is quite good, significant progress within the municipality, they are working on improving the municipality. The neighbourhood itself could still use a lot of improvement.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a great neighbourhood to live in Emmen. I gave hygiene a passing grade because the streets and nature look tidy. Safety could be a bit better. In my opinion, there is a lot of crime and young people engaging in vandalism. But otherwise, I'll end on a positive note to indicate that there are many schools for the children, and that is of course very nice!
