NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Moleneind ZZ 7 sits right in the centre of Drachten, where the streets are lively and everything is close by. With 251 m² of living space, it's unusually large for the area, two-thirds bigger than the average home in the neighbourhood. The price of €420,000 is exactly the median for the buurt, so it's in line with what you'd expect for a home this size. For context, apartments in Smallingerland vary widely, but this one stands out for its generous proportions.
Drachten centrum is a compact, urban neighbourhood with a high density of addresses, 2,435 per km², so it feels busy and central. Yet one resident describes it as "a child-friendly, quiet and social neighbourhood, and that while this neighbourhood is in the city centre!" They add: "People almost always greet each other here. Lots of children playing nicely outside on the street! That gives a familiar and safe feeling." The population is older on average, with 40% aged 65 or over, and many live alone, 510 one-person households out of 870 total. The neighbourhood Drachten centrum has a mix of housing, but only 20% are single-family homes, so apartments like this are the norm.
For your morning bread, Aldi is just around the corner, and Lidl and Poiesz are a couple of streets away. Albert Heijn and Dirk are also within a five-minute walk. Schools are close too: Katholieke Jenaplan Basisschool St. Lukas is a couple of streets away, and OSG Singelland, Drachtster Lyceum is a five-minute walk. The municipality Smallingerland offers a range of amenities, and the centre's shops, restaurants and a library are all within walking distance.

People almost always greet each other here. Lots of children playing nicely outside on the street! That gives a familiar and safe feeling. So a solid pass for safety and community! And the streets always look tidy too, so I think hygiene is also more than adequate! Shops, schools and other facilities all within walking/cycling distance and easily accessible, so also a solid pass for education, housing, facilities and accessibility. Green space is a bit less, but sufficient. Because we live in the city centre, there is less greenery. There are trees and a few small parks here, but I come from the countryside myself, so this is very different. But I think it's sufficient! It's just lovely living in our neighbourhood!
