Living in Roden: village character with caveats
Roden is the largest village in the municipality of Noordenveld, and you can tell from the amenities. In the centre you will find supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Aldi, various specialist shops along the Heerestraat, and a weekly market on Wednesdays. There are several primary schools, including CBS De Hoekstee and OBS De Marke, and for secondary education there is the Roner College (CSG Drenthe College). Sports enthusiasts can go to football club VV Roden, tennis club De Hooge Holt or swimming pool De Hullen. The Mensingebos and the Noordenveld are within cycling distance and score well with residents: the sub-score for green space is 7.8, the highest category in the resident reviews of Roden.
Yet the picture is not entirely positive. Residents give Roden a 6.8 on Buurtje.nl. The scores for amenities (6.2) and sense of community (6.2) stand out as the lowest. Resident Henk Beswerda writes: "Quiet neighbourhood that is slowly deteriorating in terms of maintenance of footpaths, dirty pavements and overgrown footpaths." Another resident notes that due to the many new housing estates, the original village identity has been diluted and that the housing supply is heavily focused on those aged 65 and over, making it difficult for young people to find a place. This ageing is also visible in the figures: the 65+ group, with 5,240 people, is the largest age group in Roden.
In terms of accessibility, Roden scores a 7.0. The village is directly on the N372 towards Groningen (about 20 minutes by car) and the A7 is quickly reachable via Leek. There is no train station, but Qbuzz line 50 takes you to Groningen Central Station in about 40 minutes. For daily commuting to the city, a car is more practical. If you want to explore the area, the smaller villages such as Nieuw-Roden, Roderwolde and rural Foxwolde are worth a look. More information about municipal plans and zoning plans can be found on the website of the municipality of Noordenveld.
For which buyers is Roden a good choice?
With an average purchase price around €491,000, buying a home in Roden is not necessarily suitable for starters with a modest budget, unless you aim for the lower end of the market around €280,000. For movers and seniors looking for space outside the city of Groningen, Roden is interesting: you get relatively many square metres for your money. Keep in mind additional costs such as transfer tax (2%), notary and valuation costs. Those considering buying an apartment in Roden should know that the supply is limited. If buying is not immediately possible, also check out the rental properties in Roden as an interim solution. Be honest about the ageing and the limited nightlife if you are young.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a small village but due to the new housing estates the local identity has disappeared. Also, almost all homes are for sale and then for 65+, which means that today's youth cannot stay living there and will have to leave.

Auto-translated to English by AIGroningen easily accessible with bus line 4, which always runs every half hour, during peak hours even every 15 or 10 minutes. It is at least a 10-minute drive to the nearest motorway. Generally a nice green, clean, safe environment. Roden is a close-knit village with many decent people and few antisocial types. Nice houses and something for everyone, from starters to seniors. Plenty of primary education with about 8 or 9 primary schools in Roden and Nieuw-Roden. Also VMBO at all levels. For HAVO and VWO you have to cycle 15/20 minutes to Leek, which is also fine. For the rest, all facilities you would expect in a large village are present, many supermarkets, plenty of restaurants, etc.
