Living in Venesluis, Hoogeveen
Venesluis is a quiet, predominantly older residential neighbourhood on the edge of Hoogeveen city centre. The housing stock largely dates from the 1960s and 1970s: terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a few detached homes, interspersed with porch flats and gallery flats. The homes are solid but dated, and that is something residents themselves also point out. Alina Bonen, a resident who gives the neighbourhood an 8 for solidarity, writes: "Nice neighbourhood where people look out for each other, help each other and tolerate each other." She honestly adds that the houses are old and in need of replacement. That sentiment is more widely felt in the neighbourhood.
The atmosphere in Venesluis is down-to-earth and Drents. People look out for each other; youth nuisance is dealt with by residents themselves without escalating. It is not a neighbourhood with much allure, but it does have a certain social cohesion that is less common in new-build estates. The overall resident score for Venesluis stands at 4.5 out of 10, which is low. Green space scores best at 5.5; housing gets only 3.0. That says something about the state of the housing stock and the limited choice for buyers.
In terms of amenities, Venesluis is reasonably self-sufficient for daily shopping. Hoogeveen city centre with its De Arcade shopping centre is within cycling distance, with supermarkets, shops and eateries. Primary schools are present in the neighbourhood, and several secondary schools are accessible in Hoogeveen.
