Berggierslanden: a quiet family neighbourhood with high residential satisfaction
Those who live in Berggierslanden live in one of the greenest and quietest corners of Meppel. The neighbourhood scores a 9.5 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident reviews. Safety, greenery, housing, beauty, education and facilities all score a perfect 10. Accessibility lags somewhat with a 7, which residents themselves also mention. One reviewer describes the neighbourhood as a place where children play safely outside and the streets are tidy. That combination of peace and quality attracts families: the largest age group is 0-15 years (over 1,100 children) and 855 households have children at home.
In terms of facilities, the neighbourhood is well equipped. Within the neighbourhood or a short bike ride away you will find primary schools, a GP practice and various sports clubs. For daily shopping, you can quickly drive to the nearby shopping centre in Meppel, where you will also find an Albert Heijn and Jumbo. The neighbourhood itself has a well-maintained green character with spacious gardens, parks and water features, which explains the high greenery score. The Plantenbuurt and the Scheepsbuurt are the two sub-neighbourhoods within Berggierslanden and each has its own atmosphere, with the Plantenbuurt feeling a bit more established and the Scheepsbuurt slightly newer.
Accessibility is good, but not exceptional. Meppel station is a few minutes' bike ride away and offers direct intercity connections to Zwolle (about 15 minutes) and Groningen. By car, you quickly join the A28, making Zwolle and Assen reachable within half an hour. Bus services run from the centre, which means a small detour for residents without a car. That is the honest story behind the 7 for accessibility. Living in Berggierslanden is therefore most comfortable for people with their own car or bike.
Does a home for sale in Berggierslanden suit your situation?
Berggierslanden mainly attracts families and movers who are looking for space and are willing to pay a substantial amount for it.

In addition to the purchase price, factor in additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters), notary fees and possible estate agent fees.

Comparing with other neighbourhoods is wise before making an offer.
