Homes for sale in Noordscheschut, Hoogeveen

House prices in Noordscheschut: well above the Hoogeveen average

This makes it a neighbourhood where people consciously choose to live, not just stay temporarily. The average WOZ value is €309,000, which is clearly higher than the municipal average of €256,000 for Hoogeveen.
