Living in Rolde, Aa en Hunze

Rolde is an old Drenthe brink village, and you can tell. The village is built around a large, overgrown village green with centuries-old oaks. That green is not just decoration: residents use it daily, children play there, dogs are walked, and in summer people sit on the terraces of the catering establishments around it. It gives Rolde a village intimacy that you won't find in new-build neighbourhoods.

The buildings are varied. Around the green are older properties from the first half of the twentieth century, often with characteristic Drenthe architecture. Further from the centre you find expansions from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s: terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached houses on spacious plots. On the edges of the village are some newer streets. Anyone looking for a home to buy with space, a garden and a quiet environment will find that here more often than in more urban municipalities.

For daily shopping you don't need to leave the village. There is a supermarket, a bakery and a pharmacy in the centre. Children can attend the primary school in the village itself; for secondary education, Assen is the designated city, about twelve kilometres away. In terms of sports, there is provision for several ages: there are football and tennis clubs active in Rolde. For those who love the outdoors: the Drentsche Aa area, one of the most pristine stream valley landscapes in the Netherlands, literally begins at the edge of the village. Walking, cycling and running in nature are daily activities here, not just for the weekend.

Accessibility by car is good. Via the N33 and the A28 you quickly reach the motorway; Assen can be reached in a quarter of an hour, Groningen in about forty minutes. Public transport is more limited: there are bus lines to Assen, but there is no train station in Rolde itself. Those dependent on public transport would do well to take that into account. For the daily commuter with their own car, however, the location is fine.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace, the green surroundings and the sense of community. One resident writes: "Rolde has everything you need for a quiet life, without feeling like you live far away." Criticism sometimes concerns the limited range of shops for more specific needs and the dependence on the car.

Anyone wanting to explore the immediate area: the hamlets Ballo and Deurze are nearby and offer an even more rural living environment, generally with fewer amenities within walking distance. Nijlande is a small hamlet in the same district. Those who want to combine more village amenities with a similar character can also look at Annen or Anloo elsewhere in the municipality.

For whom is a home to buy in Rolde a good choice?

Rolde mainly attracts families and people in the second half of their housing career who consciously choose peace, space and nature. The large group of over-65s (almost 38% of the population) indicates that the village scores well as a place to live long-term. First-time buyers find it difficult: with an average purchase price of over €760,000 and a range starting at €295,000, entry is possible but limited. At the lower end of the market, supply is scarce and competition is high. As a buyer, be prepared for a market where quick action pays off.
