Living in Koninginnebuurt, Meppel

Koninginnebuurt has a character you won't quickly forget once you cycle through it. The neighbourhood owes its name to the stately, mostly detached and semi-detached houses built in the first half of the twentieth century. Wide avenues, large plots and mature trees give the streets a quiet, almost rural feel, while at the same time you are within walking distance of Meppel's centre. That contrast – green and spacious yet central – is exactly what residents appreciate here.

The housing types are predominantly ground-based: detached villas, semi-detached houses and a few larger terraced houses from the 1930s to the 1960s. Apartments are relatively scarce in this part of the neighbourhood. The homes generally have spacious gardens and driveways, making the area attractive for those seeking more space than the average Meppel home offers.

In terms of amenities, Koninginnebuurt scores highly.

Primary and secondary schools are accessible within the municipality, and the sub-score for education is a neat 9.0.

Accessibility is one of its strongest assets. Meppel station is a short walk away, providing direct connections to Zwolle (around 20 minutes) and Groningen. One resident puts it aptly: "Close to the park and the station, ideal. Beautiful homes and the greenery is well maintained, almost always tidy. Sometimes a bit of bustle from the station." That caveat about bustle from the station is honest: the streets leading towards the station can attract a bit more traffic during the morning and evening rush hours. Via the N375 and the connection to the A28, the neighbourhood is also well accessible by car. The overall resident score on the neighbourhood main page of Koninginnebuurt is an impressive 9.5 out of 10.
