Living in Wolvega-De Meulepolle, Weststellingwerf

De Meulepolle is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood on the west side of Wolvega. The neighbourhood has a down-to-earth Frisian character: no frills, just living. The homes mostly date from the 1970s and 1980s, recognisable by the brick terraced houses with small front gardens and spacious back gardens. Streets such as around the Meuleplein give the neighbourhood its name and are the beating heart of the district. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but rather for its quiet atmosphere and the involvement of residents.

The centre of Wolvega is within walking distance, with supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Aldi, a weekly market and various shops for daily groceries.

Sports clubs for football, tennis and swimming are available in the centre of Wolvega. Green space is limited in the neighbourhood itself, but the surroundings of Weststellingwerf offer plenty of space for cycling and walking in the Frisian landscape.

Does a home for sale in Wolvega-De Meulepolle suit you as a buyer?

The neighbourhood mainly attracts families and middle-aged people. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, but families with children are also well represented.
