Nice neighbourhood

It's a nice neighbourhood but it can get busy sometimes because there are many families with young children, there's a nice playground and you can easily get there by bike.

Nice living in Poppenhare

I'm renting my own home for the first time. I come from the Randstad myself, so moving to Coevorden was a big step. I've always heard bad stories about the neighbourhood, but I absolutely don't share that opinion. I really enjoy living here! I also feel safe when I go out alone in the evening. Poppenhare is very close to green areas and the Stieltjeskanaal. I really like walking through the park. The people are generally friendly. Shops are nearby, and there are many schools in the area. What also stands out is the large number of retirement homes. Public transport is also easily accessible. The only downside is the hygiene in the neighbourhood. A lot of rubbish next to containers or litter thrown out of windows. However, this is not everywhere, but coincidentally where I live. I think the municipality should do something about this. Soon, disposing of residual waste will cost money, and I think hygiene will deteriorate even further. In short, it's a great place to live here!

Great neighbourhood

Wonderfully quiet and a really nice atmosphere. The old houses also give a cosy feeling. It is a bit far from amenities except for grocery shopping because the Jumbo is nearby. A very nice, quiet and safe neighbourhood.
