House prices and market figures Luchiesland Zuid, Assen
Luchiesland Zuid is predominantly a rental neighbourhood: of the 509 homes, only 31% are owner-occupied, compared to 69% rental properties, the majority of which are owned by a housing association. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes in Luchiesland Zuid scarce and the market relatively limited in size. In the past twelve months, six homes changed hands, with an average sale price of €354,750 and a range from €249,000 to €425,000. With an average living area of 107 m², this works out to a price per square metre of approximately €3,315.
The average WOZ value in the neighbourhood is €191,000. This is significantly lower than the average in the surrounding district Lariks (€212,000) and well below the municipal average of Assen (€278,000). The difference between the WOZ value and actual sale prices is notably large, indicating that the homes actually for sale are qualitatively or typologically superior to the average housing stock in the neighbourhood. These are likely ground-floor homes, such as terraced houses or semi-detached houses. Check the current supply and average asking price at the top of this page for the most recent market situation.
Living in Luchiesland Zuid, Assen
Luchiesland Zuid is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the southwest side of Assen, built in the 1970s and 1980s. The neighbourhood is part of the Lariks district and has a distinct residential character: wide streets, plenty of greenery in public spaces, and predominantly ground-floor homes with gardens. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its liveliness or hospitality, but rather for its low traffic levels and proximity to green spaces. Around the neighbourhood there are playgrounds and green strips that appeal to families and those seeking peace and quiet.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood itself is modest. For daily shopping, you rely on the Lariks shopping centre, within cycling distance on the edge of the district, which includes a supermarket. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity serve the youngest residents, and for secondary education and further amenities, the city centre of Assen is easily accessible. Sports clubs and the Baggelhuizen recreation area are a short distance away, making the neighbourhood attractive for active residents.
In terms of accessibility, Luchiesland Zuid scores reasonably well. By bike, you can reach the centre of Assen in about ten to fifteen minutes. By car, you quickly connect to the N33 and A28, bringing Groningen and Zwolle within reach. The bus station and NS station Assen are accessible by bike or bus; from the station, fast connections run to Groningen (about 20 minutes) and Zwolle. Parking in the neighbourhood itself is usually not a problem.
The neighbourhood has approximately 955 residents and a relatively young population: the 25 to 45 age group is the largest, with 295 people. Single-person households dominate (260 of the households), which colours the social profile. The average income of €24,600 and a labour participation rate of 56% are below the Assen average, which is also reflected in house prices and the high proportion of housing association rentals.
Residents appreciate the neighbourhood mainly for its peace and space. One resident writes: "It's nice and quiet here, green, and the neighbours still know each other. Not spectacular, but pleasant to live in." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited amenities directly in the neighbourhood and the distance to livelier parts of the city.

Who is a home in Luchiesland Zuid suitable for?
The neighbourhood best suits buyers who prefer peace and greenery over urban hustle and bustle, and who are looking for a relatively affordable entry into the Assen owner-occupied market. First-time buyers can purchase a home in Luchiesland Zuid at the lower end of the price range, although supply is limited and you need to act quickly when something becomes available. Families with children benefit from the quiet streets and greenery. Disadvantages to be honest about: supply is narrow (an average of six transactions per year), and sale prices are significantly above the WOZ value, which does not rule out overbidding.
