Living in Roden West, Noordenveld
Roden West is a quiet, largely residential neighbourhood on the western side of the village of Roden. The district has a typical Drenthe character: spacious plots, plenty of greenery between the homes, relatively wide streets and a pace that does not feel rushed. Most of the buildings date from the 1970s and 1980s, with the associated architecture: brick semi-detached houses, detached homes with gardens all around and here and there a row of terraced houses. New construction is scarce; those who buy here typically buy an existing home with room for their own layout.
In terms of amenities, Roden West is reasonably self-sufficient for daily life. The centre of Roden, with supermarkets such as Jumbo and Albert Heijn, a library and various shops, is within a few minutes by bike. Primary schools are located in the immediate vicinity, including schools in the centre of Roden itself. For secondary education, pupils rely on schools in Roden or Assen. Sports clubs in Roden offer football, tennis and other sports, and the surrounding nature, including the Leekstermeer area and the Drenthe forests, makes walking and cycling attractive. That greenery is also visible in the neighbourhood itself: gardens are spacious and parks are scattered throughout.
Accessibility by car is good. Via the N372 and N919 you quickly reach Groningen (about 25 kilometres) or Assen (about 20 kilometres). There is no direct train connection from Roden itself; the nearest station is Groningen or Assen. Bus lines connect Roden with the surrounding towns, but for those dependent on public transport, that requires some adjustment. The accessibility score of residents (6.0/10) reflects that: adequate for those with a car, less ideal for those without.
The resident rating of Roden West stands at 5.8 out of 10, based on available reviews. The highest score goes to housing (7.0), which aligns with the picture of spacious homes at a relatively reasonable price within the municipality. Safety (5.0) and education (5.0) score lower. One reviewer, e.sikkema, gave the neighbourhood a 3.2 and described it as a place with social problems: "a lot of drugs and alcohol". That is an individual voice, but it indicates that not everyone experiences the neighbourhood as unequivocally positive. See all reviews and neighbourhood data on the information page of Roden West for a more complete picture.
Compared to sister neighbourhoods, Roden West has a different character than the more business-oriented Industrieterrein Roden or the newer Nieuw-Roden. Those seeking more village tranquillity outside the core can also look at Foxwolde or Leutingewolde.

Does a home in Roden West suit you as a buyer?
Roden West mainly attracts families and people aged 45 to 65. The spacious homes, the green surroundings and the relative tranquillity make the neighbourhood attractive for movers seeking more space than an apartment in the city offers. With an average purchase price of over €483,000, the neighbourhood is less accessible for starters with a limited budget, although the lower end of the market (from €285,000) still offers some room. Keep in mind that supply is limited: only 23 transactions in a year means that desired homes are quickly gone. If buying is not feasible for now, there are also rental homes in Roden West available. Seniors who want to downsize will find fewer single-level options here; for them, the centre of Roden or another neighbourhood may be more suitable.

lots of drugs and alcohol and that foreign rubbish
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.
