Living in Klazienaveen: peat soil, peace and short lines

Klazienaveen is a former peat colony village that has grown into the second largest core of the municipality of Emmen. It has its own character that can best be described as down-to-earth, quiet and green. On the neighbourhood page of Klazienaveen, residents give the village an 8.4 out of 10. Accessibility (9.5) and safety (9.0) score notably high. Resident Mellisa writes: "I like how I can live here and how I get along with all the neighbours. It's not a close-knit neighbourhood, but everyone respects each other and helps out." That sums up the atmosphere: no pushy cosiness, but pleasant mutual interaction.

In terms of amenities, Klazienaveen is fairly self-sufficient. On Langestraat you will find supermarkets (Albert Heijn, Aldi), various specialist shops and eateries. There are several primary schools spread across the village, including CBS De Wegwijzer and OBS De Vonder, and Hondsrug College offers secondary education. The resident score for education is therefore 8.8. Sports enthusiasts can go to football club VKW, tennis club Klazienaveen or the indoor swimming pool Aquarena. The Bargerveen, one of the last raised bog areas in Europe, is a stone's throw away and offers beautiful walking routes. The score for green space (8.8) is therefore well-deserved. Those considering buying an apartment in Klazienaveen will find most supply around the centre, while the neighbourhoods of Klazienaveen-Noord and Klazienaveen-Zuid offer more family homes.

Accessibility is surprisingly good for a Drenthe village. Via the N862 and N366 you are within twenty minutes of Emmen city centre, and the A37 towards Hoogeveen and Germany is easily reachable. Qbuzz buses run to Emmen (line 22) and Stadskanaal. Klazienaveen does not have a train station; the nearest station is Emmen. To be fair, some residents find the village a bit quiet. Reviewer Hartman writes that "little happens due to many elderly people" and that it is a shame that little is organised, while there is room for it. The community score (7.2) is therefore the lowest rating. More information about municipal plans and developments can be found on the website of the municipality of Emmen.
