Living in Verspreide huizen Zuidwolde, De Wolden

Verspreide huizen Zuidwolde is not a neighbourhood in the traditional sense. There is no shopping street, no village square and no bus stop around the corner. What there is: space, tranquillity and a distinctive rural character that you find so pure in few other places in Drenthe. The homes are scattered across the rural area around Zuidwolde, along ribbon development, on farmyards and along small sandy roads that run through meadows and forest edges. Those who live here have consciously chosen distance from the hustle and bustle.

The buildings are diverse in nature. You will find older Drenthe farmhouses converted into homes, but also newer detached houses from the 1990s and 2000s set on spacious plots. This makes the character of the neighbourhood varied: not a uniform 1970s estate, but a patchwork of housing types that all share the common feature of offering plenty of outdoor space.

You will not find amenities in the neighbourhood itself, but in the nearby centre of Zuidwolde. There you will find a supermarket (Jumbo), primary schools, a GP practice and a modest range of shops. For more extensive shopping or secondary schools, residents drive to Hoogeveen, about ten to fifteen minutes away. A car is not a luxury in this neighbourhood but a necessity: public transport is limited to a few bus lines that do not always run at the most convenient times. However, the connection to the A28 via Hoogeveen makes the neighbourhood acceptably accessible for commuters to Zwolle or Groningen.

Residents particularly appreciate the tranquillity and space. On the neighbourhood homepage of Verspreide huizen Zuidwolde you can read what people who live here say about it themselves. One resident writes: "You really live out here, but Zuidwolde is easily doable by bike. For everything you need daily, you can manage fine." That sums it up well: it is not isolation, but it does require a different way of life than living in a core.

Compared to Zuidwolde kern, it is quieter here and the homes are on average larger and more expensive. Those who prefer the liveliness of a village with shops and neighbours within walking distance are better suited to the core. If you want to explore the rural character of the region, Kerkenveld and Drogteropslagen are also worth considering as alternatives within the municipality.

Who is a home in Verspreide huizen Zuidwolde interesting for?

This neighbourhood mainly attracts families and people aged 45 to 65 who consciously choose space and tranquillity.
