Living in De Vosholen-Oost, Midden-Groningen

De Vosholen-Oost is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the eastern side of Sappemeer. The neighbourhood has a distinct character: wide streets, spacious plots and an atmosphere that strikes a balance between a village setting and a well-maintained Vinex-style expansion. The homes largely date from the 1980s and 1990s and are predominantly detached or semi-detached, with generous gardens and ample parking on private property. No cars drive through narrow streets here; the layout is spacious and clear.

The population composition says a lot about the character of the neighbourhood. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, but families with children are also well represented. With 53% married households and 75 families with children, this is clearly a neighbourhood where people have settled for the long term. The average income of €39,800 is significantly higher than the municipal average of €32,400, which partly explains the relatively high WOZ values.
