Living in Gorredijk-Groene Long, Opsterland
Gorredijk-Groene Long is a neighbourhood with a mixed character. The name refers to the green lung that surrounds the neighbourhood, and indeed: there is relatively a lot of greenery, which residents also appreciate with a score of 7.0 for green space. But anyone looking for a cosy, close-knit neighbourhood community should expect a different picture. Residents give the community a 6.0 and safety also scores a 6.0. These are not bad scores, but neither are they a reason for enthusiasm.
The neighbourhood consists largely of post-war and early 1970s buildings, with terraced houses and semi-detached houses as the most common housing types. The housing stock is predominantly rental, which means that the owner-occupied homes that are there are often scattered among the housing association's rental properties. That gives the streets a mixed appearance, and that is exactly what resident Martha describes: "More and more hassle unfortunately! More and more different people are moving in, it becomes impersonal, more everything close together in the houses, more unkempt gardens, a pity!" Her overall rating is a 6.7, and that feeling of a neighbourhood in transition is recognisable to anyone who walks around there.
Yet there are also clear plus points. Accessibility scores the highest of all sub-scores with an 8.0. Gorredijk-Groene Long is close to the centre of Gorredijk, where you will find supermarkets, a library and various shops. The bus station is within walking distance, so you can get around well without a car. Martha herself also mentions this positively: the shops, the library and the bus station are just around the corner. For the car, the connection to the N381 towards Drachten and Emmen is good. Facilities such as primary schools and sports clubs are available in and around the centre of Gorredijk.
Compared to neighbourhoods such as Gorredijk-Bloemenwijk or Gorredijk-Loevestein, Groene Long has a slightly rougher character. Gorredijk-Centrum offers more liveliness and a different housing mix.
