Living in De Velden/De Stukken, Assen

De Velden/De Stukken is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the northwest of Assen, part of the Peelo district. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1970s and 1980s and has the character that goes with it: spacious plots, plenty of greenery in the streets, wide pavements and a mix of semi-detached houses, terraced houses and detached homes. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but rather for the space and tranquillity you find there.

The age composition says a lot about the character of the neighbourhood. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, and families with children are the most common household type. You notice this in the streets: children cycling, playgrounds and the neighbourhood feels safe and well-organised. At the same time, there is a growing group of younger families and adults between 25 and 45 settling here, partly because purchase prices are relatively more accessible than in other Assen districts.

For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Peelo shopping centre, with a supermarket and smaller shops, is within cycling distance. Primary schools are nearby, which is a practical advantage for young families. Those who enjoy sports can join various clubs in and around Peelo. Peelerbos and the surrounding green spaces offer opportunities for walking and cycling directly from the residential streets.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood is well connected to the rest of Assen. By bike, you can reach the centre of Assen in about ten to fifteen minutes, where the train station is also located with connections to Groningen and Zwolle. By car, the A28 is quickly accessible, making the neighbourhood also interesting for commuters heading to Groningen or Meppel. Bus services run regularly via the main routes in the district.

Residents particularly appreciate the neighbourhood for its tranquillity, space and green surroundings. On the neighbourhood page of De Velden/De Stukken you can read what residents themselves think. One resident writes: "It's wonderfully quiet and green here, the children play outside and everyone knows each other a bit. Not exciting, but that's exactly what we were looking for." Criticisms that come up are the limited range of shops within walking distance and the somewhat dated appearance of some of the homes. Compared to sister neighbourhoods such as De Landen/De Akkers and De Kampen/De Essen, De Velden/De Stukken has a similar character, but house prices and the type of supply can vary considerably per street. De Venen/De Wallen is also a nearby option if you want to make the comparison within Peelo.

Who is a home for sale in De Velden/De Stukken interesting for?

The neighbourhood mainly appeals to families with children looking for a quiet, green environment with enough space and a reasonable price relative to the municipal average. Also, movers growing from an apartment or starter home to a semi-detached house or a larger terraced house will find what they are looking for here.

Starters will find it difficult: with an average purchase price of €327,300 and limited supply, competition is real.
