Living in Emmer-Compascuum-Centrum, Emmen

Emmer-Compascuum-Centrum is the beating heart of the eponymous village in the southeast of the municipality of Emmen. It is a typical Drenthe peat village with a ribbon-like structure along the canal, recognisable by its quiet streets, the main road with local amenities and the open space that you completely miss in larger cities. Anyone looking for a home to buy here consciously chooses peace and quiet and overview, not city bustle.

The buildings largely consist of homes from the 1970s and 1980s, with a mix of detached houses, semi-detached houses and terraced houses. Occasionally an older home from the 1950s or earlier appears, which makes the streetscape a bit more varied. The average area of 138 m² fits those housing types: spacious enough for a family, but not excessive.

The amenities in the centre are compact but functional. There is a supermarket within walking distance, a primary school for families with young children, and a few small shops and eateries on the main street. For more extensive shopping or secondary education, residents rely on Emmen, about twelve kilometres away. The municipality of Emmen provides more information about local amenities and municipal services on its website: www.emmen.nl.
