Historisch Centrum, Meppel
NeighbourhoodThis 1930s semi-detached house sits in the heart of Meppel, with 113 m² of living space and a 139 m² plot. The energy label C means it's reasonably efficient, though you'll want to factor in some modernisation. At €485,000, the asking price is 24% above the neighbourhood average of €389,625, so it's on the high side, but for a home of this type in the centre, that's not unusual. For context, semi-detached houses in Meppel typically command a premium.

They appreciate the central amenities and green spaces, though they note some litter and dog mess on the streets. Overall, it's a safe, friendly area where people greet each other but keep to themselves.

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 Schuttevaerstraat 14, Meppel
The asking price is 24% above the average asking price in Historisch Centrum (€389,625). However, this is a two-under-one-roof house, which is a less common type in the area, most homes are apartments.

Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the property type and central location.
The energy label is C, which is average for a 1930s home. It means the home has some insulation but is not as efficient as modern builds.
