Living in Heemse-West Heemserbos, Hardenberg

Heemse-West Heemserbos is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the western side of Heemse, directly bordering the Heemserbos. That forest is not just decoration on the map: residents can literally walk straight into it. The combination of buildings and nature gives the neighbourhood a rural character, while the amenities of Hardenberg remain easily accessible. It is not a neighbourhood where you grab a drink on a terrace or pop into a pub in the evening. It is a neighbourhood where you walk the dog among the trees and children play outside without worrying about traffic.

The homes largely date from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, with a mix of semi-detached houses, detached houses and larger terraced houses. The streets are green, gardens are generally large. This also explains the higher average sale prices: you are buying space here, both inside and out.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood itself is modest. There is no supermarket around the corner and no shopping street. For that, you drive to the centre of Hardenberg, about five to ten minutes away. There you will find, among others, a Jumbo and an Albert Heijn, the Marktpassage shopping centre and various other daily amenities. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity are available in Heemse itself, including De Rank primary school. For secondary education, Hardenberg is the designated place, with schools such as Vechtdal College.

Accessibility by car is good. The N34 is quickly reachable and connects the neighbourhood to Ommen to the west and Coevorden to the north. Hardenberg station is about a ten-minute bike ride away, with train connections towards Zwolle. Public transport within the neighbourhood itself is limited; a car is practically indispensable. That fits the profile of the residents: families and over-45s who have consciously chosen space and tranquillity.

Residents particularly appreciate the neighbourhood for its tranquillity, space and direct access to the forest. One resident writes: "You really live green here, the Heemserbos is your back garden. At the same time, you miss nothing because Hardenberg is so close." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited public transport and the lack of local shops. On the neighbourhood main page of Heemse-West Heemserbos you will find all resident reviews and scores per category.

Compared to neighbouring community Heemse-Oost Heemsermars, Heemse-West is slightly greener and quieter, but also slightly more expensive. Norden en Hazenbos offers a similarly quiet character but with a different housing profile. Those looking for more urban dynamism would be better off looking at Overig Stad Hardenberg.
