Annen is a village where neighbours still know each other. One resident describes it as a 'Quiet neighbourhood, fine place to live', adding: 'Contact with immediate neighbours is good. You can always ask for help or to borrow a lawnmower, for example. There is social control, but not in an annoying way. More like extra eyes on the lookout, which does give a sense of safety.' The village has enough amenities for daily life, and nearby Zuidlaren offers more shops. The bus to Groningen runs every half hour. Based on one review, the neighbourhood scores an 8 out of 10. Most homes are owner-occupied (74%) and the area is predominantly made up of single-family houses. For more on the area, see the municipality of Aa en Hunze.
Daily errands are easy: the Coop and Aldi are both just around the corner, and Basisschool De Eshoek is on your doorstep. For secondary education, you'd head to Gieten or Assen, about 7.6 km away. The village has a GP practice and a restaurant within walking distance, and the park is a couple of streets away. It's a car-friendly village with plenty of peace and quiet.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including MooiWonen Makelaars and Funda.

Contact with immediate neighbours is good. You can always ask for help or to borrow a lawnmower, for example. There is social control, but not in an annoying way. More like extra eyes on the lookout, which does give a sense of safety. The village has sufficient amenities and nearby Zuidlaren has many shops, such as a chemist and a butcher. The bus connection to Groningen is great, every half hour. Secondary schools are a bit more difficult in terms of transport if you don't want to go to Gieten or Assen. People in the village are friendly, but I notice it's hard to really integrate without children.
