Oude Molenbuurt, Assen
NeighbourhoodThis 1938 semi-detached house on Molenstraat 128A sits in the Oude Molenbuurt, a stone's throw from Assen's centre. With 129 m² of living space, it's 26% larger than the neighbourhood average, and the 146 m² plot gives you a bit of breathing room. The asking price of €375,000 is on the high side compared to the local median of €337,500, but the extra space and central location help explain it. For context, semi-detached houses in Assen typically sell for around €3,559 per m².
The Oude Molenbuurt is a compact, urban neighbourhood with a mix of ages, many residents are 65 or older, and one-person households are common. One resident describes it as a "quiet but distant" area: "A lot has been renovated and it's now an excellent neighbourhood, although there is little police presence so there are dealers regularly, but they don't necessarily cause trouble." They also note the greenery and the nearby canal. The city centre is about 100 metres away, and there are some shops within the neighbourhood itself. The neighbourhood Oude Molenbuurt has a very high density of addresses, so you're never far from amenities.
For your morning bread, AH XL is just around the corner, and Dirk is a couple of streets away. There are also a SPAR, Jumbo and Ekoplaza within a ten-minute walk. Schools are close: Basisschool De Cirkel is on your doorstep, and Gomarus College Assen is just around the corner. The municipality Assen also has several other secondary schools within walking distance. A park or public garden is a five-minute walk away, and the train station is 2.6 km from the home.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including OOSTING MAKELAARS BEILEN and other platforms. The energy label is D, so heating costs are something to factor in.

A lot has been renovated and it's now an excellent neighbourhood, although there is little police presence so there are dealers regularly, but they don't necessarily cause trouble. Poor contact with the neighbours, but they all seem like sourpusses to me so I don't know if that's a minus or a plus. There is a lot of greenery in the neighbourhood and the canal is nearby. The city centre is about 100 metres away and there are some shops in the neighbourhood itself. Accessibility and traffic safety are fine in most respects, but the schools in the area are all Christian, so for a public school I had to cycle a bit further.
