Good · 1 resident
I've been living here for almost 2 years now and all in all I'm satisfied. Of course, I sometimes see young guys on the street shouting hot-headedly and pushing/shoving each other, but that's part of it. Furthermore, I feel safe here and hardly anything happens. I don't feel attached to my neighbours or the other people on my street, but I do recognise a few and always say a friendly hello, and get it back. There are no arguments and we let each other live and leave each other alone, fine! The centre has enough amenities and I don't really miss anything, except for the fact that there is no Chinese restaurant that delivers food, but that might be very specific of me. For a place so central, I'm satisfied with how much green there is. Recently, a new small green area was added and I find this very pleasant both for the eye and for walking my dog. In terms of hygiene, I find it quite substandard. People leave dog poop lying around, there is often vomit on the street from people who have been out and about, and a lot of litter and food scraps. This surprises me in a negative way and I find it a great pity. This is the only downside; otherwise, I am very happy and satisfied with both my place and the environment!

About De Boompjes 11, Meppel
The asking price of €289,500 is 26% below the average asking price in Historisch Centrum (€389,625) and also below the median of €365,000. However, the house has an energy label F and is relatively compact at 77 m². Given that similar homes in the neighbourhood sell for an average of €340,212, the price appears keen, but the poor energy performance may offset some of the savings.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency. The home likely has insufficient insulation and an older heating system. While exact costs depend on usage, you can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, most available homes have labels A or B, so this property stands out as less efficient.
According to the only neighbourhood review, the resident feels safe and says "hardly anything happens." However, they mention occasional shouting and pushing among young people, which they consider normal. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 255, but without context it is hard to compare. Overall, the review suggests a generally safe environment.
There are several schools within walking distance. The nearest primary school is KC Het Avontuur (583 m), followed by Kindcentrum Beatrix (612 m) and K.B.S. De Plataan (613 m). For secondary education, Greijdanus - Meppel is just 239 m away. All are within a ten-minute walk, making the location convenient for families.
The nearest train station is 1.3 km from the home, which is about a fifteen-minute walk. This makes it feasible to commute by train, though not directly on your doorstep.
The listing does not mention parking facilities. Given the central location in a very urban area (address density 2,109 per km²), street parking may be limited. You would need to check the local parking regulations and availability. The home does not have a garage or designated parking spot according to the data.
Yes, several supermarkets are within easy reach. SPAR express is just 323 m away, Albert Heijn at 363 m, and Aldi at 583 m. All are within a five to ten-minute walk, so daily shopping is convenient. There are also other options like Ekoplaza and Lidl slightly further.
