House prices and market figures Hesselingen, Meppel

Living in Hesselingen, Meppel

Hesselingen is a quiet residential neighbourhood on the southwest side of Meppel, part of the Koedijkslanden district. The neighbourhood has a distinctly post-war character: straight streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, and a layout that combines space and clarity. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its special architecture or street life, but that is precisely what many residents appreciate about it. You live there quietly, the streets are wide, and there is little through traffic.

The population composition says something about the neighbourhood's profile: the largest age group is 65-plus, accounting for around 500 of the nearly 2,000 residents. At the same time, there are over 300 children, and families with children are the most common household type. This gives Hesselingen a mixed but stable character. People live there for a long time, sometimes decades. Resident Johnny snijder writes: "I've lived here since 1976, don't want to leave." That says enough about the attachment people develop to this neighbourhood.

In terms of amenities, Hesselingen is well integrated into the larger whole of Koedijkslanden. Within cycling distance you will find primary schools, a GP practice, and daily shopping can be done at supermarkets in the immediate vicinity. The Koedijkslanden shopping centre offers additional options for daily needs. Sports clubs and playgrounds are nearby, which increases the appeal for families.

The accessibility of Hesselingen scores well. By bike you are in the centre of Meppel within a quarter of an hour. Meppel station offers direct connections to Zwolle, Groningen and Leeuwarden, making the neighbourhood also interesting for commuters. By car, you can quickly connect via the N375 to the A28 towards Zwolle or Groningen. Bus services run via the adjacent main roads.

Residents give Hesselingen an overall score of 9.2 out of 10, based on reviews via the neighbourhood page of Hesselingen. Safety (9.7) and education (9.7) score the highest. Green space (8.3) is the only score that lags somewhat, although the neighbourhood is certainly not bare. Those looking for more greenery can also look at neighbouring Reestlanden, which lies just outside the built-up area. The nearby Schildersbuurt offers a slightly more urban character, while Koeberg is similarly quiet. For more urban dynamics, you can also look at owner-occupied homes in Koedijkslanden as a whole.

Who is a home in Hesselingen interesting for?

Hesselingen particularly appeals to families looking for peace and space without being far from urban amenities. The low entry price of €239,500 also makes the neighbourhood accessible for first-time buyers, although supply is limited and goes quickly. Movers who want more space for their budget will find more square metres here than in the centre of Meppel. Seniors have lived there for decades and feel at home. An honest point: with only 14 transactions in a year, supply is scarce. Those who are flexible can also look at rental properties in Hesselingen as an interim solution.
