Living in Kloosterhout, Assen
Kloosterhout is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the southwest of Assen, part of the broader Kloosterveen district that has been developed since the 1990s. The neighbourhood has a distinct character: wide streets, plenty of greenery between homes, and a mix of detached houses and semi-detached homes. The housing stock mainly dates from the late 1990s and early 2000s, meaning the homes were built to be reasonably energy-efficient, although many owners are now working on further sustainability improvements.
The profile of residents is recognisable: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, there are relatively many families with children, and the education level is high (52% highly educated). This is also reflected in the atmosphere: it is a neighbourhood where people have consciously chosen to live, often as movers from another Assen neighbourhood. The average household income is €47,300, clearly above the municipal average of €34,300.
For daily shopping, you can go to the nearby Kloosterveen shopping centre, just a few minutes away by bike. Here you will find a supermarket, a pharmacy and various other shops.

Assen station is about three kilometres away, accessible by bike or bus.
Residents appreciate the peace and space the neighbourhood offers. On the Kloosterhout neighbourhood page you can read reviews from people who live there. One resident writes: "The neighbourhood is quiet and green, you really have space around you and the neighbours know each other. Ideal if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle but still be close to the city." Criticisms that come up are the limited public transport within the neighbourhood itself and the fact that you have to go to the centre for larger shops or nightlife.
