Living in Verspreide huizen Hooghalen, Midden-Drenthe
Verspreide huizen Hooghalen is exactly what the name promises: ribbon development and scattered farmsteads in the Drenthe countryside around the village of Hooghalen. You don't live here in a neighbourhood with streets and neighbours a stone's throw away, but on a farmstead, along a country lane, with views of meadows, forest or heathland. The Hondsrug and the surroundings of the Drentsche Aa National Park are right on your doorstep. If you are looking for peace, space and nature, you will find it here in abundance.
The buildings are diverse in nature. You will find older farmhouses converted into homes, detached 1970s houses on spacious plots, and occasionally a newer property fitted in among the existing buildings. There are no uniform new-build estates. Each house has its own character, and that makes this neighbourhood attractive for people looking for something different from an average home.
As for amenities: you have consciously chosen peace and quiet here, and that means you drive to Hooghalen itself or to Beilen, a few minutes away, for daily shopping. In Beilen you will find a supermarket, primary schools, a GP and other daily amenities. For more extensive shopping, Assen is the nearest city, about a twenty-minute drive. Sports clubs and a primary school are available in the village of Hooghalen itself.
Accessibility by car is reasonable: the N371 and the connection to the A28 towards Assen and Meppel are reachable within a few minutes. Public transport is less convenient; bus services are limited and in practice you are dependent on your own car. Beilen station is about five kilometres away, from where trains run towards Assen and Zwolle.
Living in Verspreide huizen Hooghalen mainly attracts people who consciously choose this type of environment. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, which fits the picture of movers and people leaving the hustle and bustle behind.
