Alley not lit by street lamps. Responsibility lies with the housing association. I have a broken little toe from protruding sleepers of a garden in the alley. Ventilation system doesn't work. Draft, mould, water under crawl space. There was also a visit from a company regarding energy level. C was personal, will become B for business. The housing association in question is difficult to communicate with, in my experience. Same with the pavements in the alley and the drain I called the relevant department about, but still need to report it. The neighbourhood. I've only just moved here and what strikes me is that there are no rubbish bins where you can, for example, dispose of your dog's waste. I also see that people dump waste in the private woodland areas where you're allowed to walk, including the poop bags. And then the pavements. Dangerous! And in the neighbourhood itself, people drive too fast. I don't get too worked up about it, but I actually find it quite annoying. The greenery, walking paths, private woods where you can walk are beautiful. With diversity of flora and fauna. But again, I see stepped-on mushrooms, plastic, cans, bottles, and much more. I take with me what I can take. But actually, there should be a bin at the beginning of the path, which is on municipal land. I notice little of the community. I'm quite a loner. When I walk the dog, people are friendly. It has become a reasonably mixed village.
Auto-translated to English by AII notice a lot of incompetence in prejudices about appearance, your dog, waste, other people's belongings, nuisance from cats, poor maintenance of pavements, alleyways without lighting and poor paving. Little information about possible help for the less fortunate. Water damage in gardens and surroundings. Car tyres are always flat in certain parking spots. Setting off fireworks too early. And probably more.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a lovely green area with all amenities nearby. The only thing I miss is a lunchroom/coffee shop/restaurant.

About Carry van Bruggenstraat 47, Smilde
The asking price of €450,000 is exactly the median for homes currently for sale in Smilde-Centrum, but 15% below the average asking price of €531,727. Given that the floor area (122 m²) is smaller than the neighbourhood average (182 m²), the price per m² works out at about €3,689, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,125 per m². So it is priced keenly overall, but the smaller size means you pay a bit more per square metre.
The home has energy label A, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, 41.7% of homes have label A and 16.7% have A+ or better, so this home is in line with the local standard. You can expect relatively low energy costs.
The plot is 396 m², which includes the house. The listing does not specify the garden size, but with a semi-detached house on a plot of this size, there is likely a private garden. You would need to check the exact layout with the agent.
