House prices in Peelo: below the Assen average, but asking prices are higher
Peelo is a home-ownership neighbourhood par excellence: 65% of the more than 2,950 homes are owner-occupied. The average WOZ value is €235,000, which is noticeably lower than the municipal average of €278,000 for Assen as a whole. Yet the transaction prices of the past year tell a different story: of the 35 homes sold, the average purchase price was €333,671, with a range from €175,000 to €699,500. This spread shows that Peelo is not a uniform neighbourhood. Cheaper terraced houses and more expensive detached homes exist side by side here, with an average living area of 122 m². The current supply and the average asking price can be found at the top of this page.
Living in Peelo: green, quiet, yet within cycling distance of everything
Peelo is located on the northwest side of Assen and has a character best described as quiet and green, without being boring. The neighbourhood is made up of several districts, each with its own atmosphere. In De Kampen/De Essen you will mainly find post-war single-family homes with spacious gardens, while Peelerpark has a newer and greener character. De Venen/De Wallen and De Landen/De Akkers are more mixed districts with both owner-occupied and rental homes.
Residents particularly appreciate the peace and the presence of greenery on the Peelo neighbourhood page. One resident describes it as: "You live here quietly, but you can cycle to the centre of Assen within ten minutes." That's right: the city centre is easily accessible by bike via dedicated cycle paths. For public transport, there are bus connections to the centre and Assen station, from where you can reach Groningen in about 20 minutes and Amsterdam in just over an hour. By car, you can quickly connect to the national motorway network via the N33 and A28. Some residents are less positive about the condition of certain streets and the limited shopping facilities directly in the neighbourhood itself.
In terms of amenities, Peelo has quite a lot to offer. There are several primary schools in the neighbourhood, including schools near De Velden. For daily groceries, you can go to supermarkets on the edge of the neighbourhood or in the nearby Kloosterveen shopping centre. For sports, there are football clubs, and playgrounds and green strips are scattered throughout the neighbourhood. The Peelerbos and surrounding green areas make Peelo attractive for people who want to exercise outdoors without having to travel far. If you want a broader urban offering, neighbourhoods such as Centrum or Lariks are alternatives to compare.
For whom is buying in Peelo a good choice?
Peelo mainly attracts families and home-movers who are looking for space at a price that is still relatively affordable in Assen. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, but there are also families with young children. First-time buyers sometimes find a home at the lower end of the market here, although €175,000 is really the lower limit and such homes are scarce. When buying, take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for homes above the starter exemption) and notary fees. If buying is not feasible now, check out the rental homes in Peelo as an interim option.
