Living in Muntendam-oost: village-like, green and down-to-earth

Muntendam-oost is the larger, somewhat newer part of the village of Muntendam. Where the west side of Muntendam has more of the old village character with ribbon development along the Muntendammerdiep, the eastern part was mainly expanded in the 1970s and 1980s. Here you will find wide streets with terraced houses, spacious gardens and plenty of greenery. It is a quiet, village-like neighbourhood where you know your neighbours and children play outside. The atmosphere is down-to-earth Groningen, without frills.

In terms of amenities, Muntendam-oost has plenty within easy reach. In the centre of the village, within walking distance, there is a supermarket (Poiesz) and you will find a GP, pharmacy and a few small shops. De Linde primary school is nearby, as are sports fields and tennis courts of local clubs. For secondary schools and more extensive shopping, you go to Hoogezand or Veendam, both about ten minutes away by car. The swimming pool and library in Muntendam have unfortunately disappeared in recent years, something residents regularly mention as a loss.

Accessibility is reasonable. By car, you can quickly reach the A7 towards Groningen (about 25 minutes) or Delfzijl via the N33. Public transport is more limited: there is a bus towards Hoogezand and Veendam, but the frequency is not high. A car is actually indispensable here. Hoogezand-Sappemeer train station is about ten minutes away by car and offers a direct connection to Groningen city centre.

Residents of Muntendam-oost particularly appreciate the peace, space and affordability. "It's wonderfully quiet here and you have a lot of space for little money, but you have to like village life," writes a resident in a review. At the same time, there is criticism of the maintenance of some streets and pavements, and of the limited shopping facilities. Compared to neighbourhoods like Borgercompagnie or Tripscompagnie, you live closer to amenities in Muntendam-oost, but it is less rural. If you are looking for that rural area feeling, then the rural area east of Muntendam is an option.

Is a home for sale in Muntendam-oost right for you?

With an average income of €26,400 and a large share of single-person households (405 of the households), the neighbourhood attracts both starters and seniors. Entry-level prices around €180,000 make it possible for starters to buy a home without having to bid excessively, although that depends on the moment. Families benefit from the spacious single-family homes and the proximity of schools and sports clubs. Seniors form a large group: more than a quarter of residents are aged 65 and over. When buying, do pay attention to energy costs; the average gas consumption (1,260 m³) points to poorly insulated homes from the 1970s and 1980s. Investing in insulation is wise.
