Living in Verspreide huizen Elim-Zuid, Hoogeveen

Verspreide huizen Elim-Zuid is not a compact street neighbourhood, but a ribbon development and scattered buildings in the rural area south of the village of Elim, in the municipality of Hoogeveen. Anyone buying a house here is primarily buying space: large plots, views over the Drenthe landscape, and a tranquillity rarely found in a residential area. The houses are not stuck together. You have neighbours, but you don't see them all day. For most people here, that is precisely the intention.

The buildings are diverse in nature. You will find detached farmhouses converted into homes, but also newer detached villas on spacious plots. Many homes date from the second half of the twentieth century, but there are also more recent buildings. The average area of 209 m² speaks for itself: these are not small houses. The neighbourhood has a quiet, rural character that fits the Drenthe countryside. Cycling or driving through the neighbourhood, you see fields, meadows and occasionally a farmyard.

Facilities within walking distance are scarce, which is typical for this type of neighbourhood. The village of Elim itself offers basic amenities such as a primary school and a community centre. For a supermarket, secondary school or sports hall, you drive to Hoogeveen, about ten to fifteen minutes away. The centre of Hoogeveen has a wide range of shops, a library and various sports clubs. The municipality of Hoogeveen actively invests in facilities and accessibility; you can read more about this on the website of the municipality of Hoogeveen.

In terms of accessibility, the car is indispensable. Verspreide huizen Elim-Zuid is not within walking distance of a train station. The nearest station is Hoogeveen, accessible via the N375. From Hoogeveen, trains run towards Zwolle and Meppel. Bus connections in the rural area are limited and not suitable as a daily means of transport. The connection to the A28 via Hoogeveen makes the neighbourhood reasonably accessible by car for commuters to Zwolle or Groningen.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space. On the neighbourhood main page of Verspreide huizen Elim-Zuid you will find resident reviews with scores per category. One resident describes it as: "You really live out here, not in a suburb. The silence in the evening is something you get used to and never want to be without afterwards." Recurring criticisms are the dependence on the car and the fact that there is little for young people to do in the immediate vicinity. Compared to Elim Kern, which offers more village proximity, in Elim-Zuid you consciously choose more distance and more land. Verspreide huizen Elim-Noord has a similar character, but lies on the other side of the village. Those who want to broaden the comparison can also look at owner-occupied homes in the Elim district as a whole.

Who is a home in Verspreide huizen Elim-Zuid suitable for?

This neighbourhood mainly attracts families and people between 45 and 65 who consciously choose space and tranquillity over urban proximity. The large homes and plots suit movers who have already built up some wealth and want to take the next step. First-time buyers will experience the average purchase price of over €671,000 as a high threshold; buying a home in Verspreide huizen Elim-Zuid is only financially feasible with a substantial income or own capital. Moreover, the supply is limited: with eight sales in a year, the choice is small at any time. Those who want to remain flexible can also look at the rental properties in Verspreide huizen Elim-Zuid, although that supply is even more limited. Be honest with yourself: if you want to reach a supermarket by bike every day, this neighbourhood probably isn't for you.
