Living in Poppenhare, Coevorden
Poppenhare is a quiet, predominantly social residential neighbourhood on the west side of the city of Coevorden. The neighbourhood has a down-to-earth, functional character: no striking architecture, no trendy eateries, but a place where people simply live comfortably. The homes were largely built in the 1960s and 1970s and consist mainly of terraced houses and semi-detached houses. The streets are wide, there is plenty of greenery, and the atmosphere is calm without being boring.
Residents rate the neighbourhood an average of 7.4 out of 10, based on reviews on the Poppenhare neighbourhood page. Femke, who moved to Coevorden from the Randstad, writes: "I've always heard bad stories about the neighbourhood, but I absolutely do not share that opinion. I really enjoy living here! I also feel safe when I go out alone in the evening." Her experience aligns with the high scores for safety (8.0) and accessibility (8.0). Notably high are also the categories greenery (9.0) and amenities (9.0), while appearance lags behind at 4.0. Almost everyone who walks through the neighbourhood recognises the latter: the public space is functional but not always well-maintained.
In terms of amenities, Poppenhare does well. The city centre of Coevorden, with supermarkets, shops and eateries, is within cycling distance. Primary schools are located in and around the neighbourhood, which explains the high education score of 8.0. For sports and recreation, various clubs in the city are available. Coevorden railway station offers connections to Emmen and beyond, and via the N34 you can quickly reach the motorway. The neighbourhood is therefore well accessible by bike, car and public transport.
Comparing Poppenhare with other neighbourhoods in the district, it has its own character. Coevorden-Centrum is livelier and more urban, while De Heege has a slightly greener, quieter appearance. Lootuinen has a similar living environment but a different resident composition. Poppenhare sits somewhere between neighbourhood and urban in terms of atmosphere: close to the city, but with the tranquillity of a residential area. For those considering a broader search, Weijerswold and Vlieghuis en Padhuis also offer interesting alternatives in the municipality.

I'm renting my own home for the first time. I come from the Randstad myself, so moving to Coevorden was a big step. I've always heard bad stories about the neighbourhood, but I absolutely don't share that opinion. I really enjoy living here! I also feel safe when I go out alone in the evening. Poppenhare is very close to green areas and the Stieltjeskanaal. I really like walking through the park. The people are generally friendly. Shops are nearby, and there are many schools in the area. What also stands out is the large number of retirement homes. Public transport is also easily accessible. The only downside is the hygiene in the neighbourhood. A lot of rubbish next to containers or litter thrown out of windows. However, this is not everywhere, but coincidentally where I live. I think the municipality should do something about this. Soon, disposing of residual waste will cost money, and I think hygiene will deteriorate even further. In short, it's a great place to live here!
