Living in De Weide: family neighbourhood with short lines and a few caveats
With over 14,000 residents, De Weide is one of the larger neighbourhoods in Hoogeveen and has a clear character: it is a family neighbourhood. The largest group of households consists of families with children (2,240), and the 45-65 age group is the most strongly represented. On the neighbourhood page of De Weide, residents give the area a 7.6 out of 10. Education (8.8) and accessibility (8.2) score notably high. Resident Björn (9.2/10) writes that he likes that everything is close by: "It's nice and close to school and other places." That is true: the neighbourhood has several primary schools, including schools on Korenstraat, and the De Bonte Wever sports hall is within cycling distance. Yet that proximity also causes irritation. Resident Wim (7.2/10) calls Korenstraat "a racetrack" as soon as schools and sports activities start again, with lots of car traffic from parents and grandparents dropping off and picking up children.
Opinions on green spaces are divided. One resident describes the park area as "a green oasis" where you can walk and sit on benches, while another complains that there is not enough greenery and that maintenance could be better. The partial scores for green spaces (6.8) and sense of community (6.4) confirm that picture: it is not a neighbourhood where you spontaneously knock on your neighbours' doors. Jaël writes: "Little contact with the people here. Nothing to complain about. Hardly ever any nuisance." That typifies De Weide well; it is quiet and functional, but not necessarily cosy.
Accessibility is a strong point. Hoogeveen station is a few minutes' cycle away and offers direct trains to Zwolle (about 35 minutes) and Emmen. The A28 and A37 are quickly reachable via the ring road, which suits commuters to Meppel or Zwolle well. Bus lines from the municipality and Qbuzz connect the neighbourhood with the centre and surrounding villages. Daily shopping can be done at the supermarkets in and around De Weide shopping centre.

Kinholt attracts buyers looking for more space and a more village-like feel.
Is De Weide right for you as a buyer?
With an average purchase price of over €424,000, buying a home in De Weide is not the cheapest option in Hoogeveen. First-time buyers with a smaller budget would be better off looking at the lower end of the market (from around €200,000 for an apartment) or exploring alternatives in Hollandscheveld or Noordscheschut. Families and movers are best represented here. Keep in mind additional costs: transfer tax (2%), notary and valuation fees can quickly add up to several thousand euros. If you prefer to rent first, the page with rental homes in De Weide shows the current rental overview. To be honest, the supply is not huge, so be quick if something suitable comes up.

I live close to the park, where you can take nice walks, sit on benches, which I advocated for at the time. The beautiful art bench also looks great again. The festival has just been held again. You can also play a game with discs there, together or alone. In winter with snow, children can slide down the hill with a sled or tyre. The petting zoo is nearby. People with dogs talk to each other and dogs play together. The old Hoogeveense Vaart lies in front of my house, with an old street lined with oak trees along it. An old bridge also spans the water. People often sit there fishing. A wonderfully quiet spot in Hoogeveen. The bus 'De Bij' runs regularly in the area. Most daily necessities you can buy in the shopping centre. Doctor's practice and pharmacy within walking distance, what more could you want. Maybe a few extra benches, one at the parking spot near the doctor's practice please..
Auto-translated to English by AII think our neighbourhood is really nice, it's conveniently close to school and other places
Auto-translated to English by AINow that schools and sports have started again, the Korenstraat has become a racetrack, with many children and athletes from outside the neighbourhood. Also, schools should promote more that children should walk or cycle to school. Grandparents also bring the children en masse by car; the Korenstraat should become more car-free.
