Living in Kern Ommen - Strangen, Ommen
Strangen is the residential neighbourhood you encounter when walking north from the centre of Ommen. It is a quiet, green neighbourhood with a clear residential character: wide streets, front gardens, plenty of greenery along the edges and little through traffic. The housing stock largely dates from the 1960s and 1970s, with a mix of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a smaller share of apartments. This older construction style also means that many homes are energetically outdated, which is reflected in the average gas consumption of 1,080 m³ per year. Buyers who pay attention to energy labels would do well to take this into account when making an offer.
The neighbourhood has a mixed population composition. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years, but the 45 to 65 age group is also well represented. Families with children form the largest household type, and you can feel this in the neighbourhood: children play in the street, there are several schools within cycling distance and the atmosphere is village-like and familiar. Primary schools such as those in the centre of Ommen are reachable within a few minutes by bike. For daily groceries, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood: the supermarkets in the centre of Ommen are within walking distance or a short bike ride.
