Living in De Krim: space, tranquillity and a close-knit village community
De Krim is not a neighbourhood you compare to a city district. It is a peat village in the rural area of Hardenberg, with ribbon development along straight roads, plenty of greenery around the houses, and an atmosphere you won't find in a new-build estate. Residents on the neighbourhood page of De Krim often describe the area as quiet and orderly, with short lines between neighbours. A frequently heard comment is that everyone knows each other and there is little nuisance. At the same time, some residents point out that amenities are limited and that for most daily shopping you still have to drive to Hardenberg or Coevorden.
In terms of amenities, De Krim is modestly equipped, which suits the character of the village. There is a primary school in or directly near the village, and for secondary education children are dependent on Hardenberg, about ten kilometres away. You won't find a supermarket in De Krim itself; the nearest ones are in Hardenberg or Coevorden. For sports, there is more to do: the area is excellent for cycling and walking through the Drenthe peat landscape, and there are local sports clubs active in the region. The sub-neighbourhood De Krim-Streekdorp has slightly more compact development, while in Verspreide huizen De Krim you will find even more space and rural character.
Accessibility requires attention if you are considering living here. De Krim lies between Hardenberg and Coevorden, but a direct bus connection is limited. A car is indispensable for most residents. Hardenberg has a train station with connections towards Zwolle, but from De Krim you first drive there. The connection to the N34 towards Emmen and Ommen is reasonably quick to reach. Anyone used to urban accessibility will notice the difference here. For many buyers, that is precisely the reason to choose here, but it is fair to mention it.
Which buyers does buying a home in De Krim suit?
De Krim mainly attracts families and people aged 45 and older who consciously choose space and tranquillity over urban convenience. With an average selling price of nearly €455,000 and homes averaging 190 m², this is not a starter market. Starters who are more flexible can also look at rental homes in De Krim as an intermediate step. When buying, keep in mind additional costs: 2% transfer tax, notary fees and possible valuation costs. The supply is limited, with only 14 transactions in a year, so overbidding or quick decisions may be necessary. Also compare the offering in surrounding villages such as Balkbrug or Bergentheim for more choice.
