Living in Veendam-Zuid, Veendam
Veendam-Zuid is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood on the south side of the centre of Veendam. The neighbourhood has a clear character of its own: it is neither a bustling city district nor an anonymous suburb. The housing stock largely consists of post-war terraced houses and semi-detached houses, supplemented by a number of detached houses on larger plots. Those looking for a home to buy with a garden and some space around them are more likely to find what they are looking for here than in the more compact neighbourhoods closer to the centre.
The population composition is striking: more than a third of residents are aged 65 or over, and single-person households form the largest group. This gives the neighbourhood a quiet, sometimes somewhat subdued feel. You see few children on the streets and the neighbourhood attracts fewer young families than, for example, Veendam-Sorghvliet or Veendam-Middenweg en omgeving. That is not a disadvantage if you are specifically looking for peace and quiet, but it is good to know if you are considering living here with young children.
In terms of amenities, Veendam-Zuid is reasonably self-sufficient for daily shopping. The centre of Veendam, with supermarkets, shops and the Muntendam hospital, is within cycling distance.
