The Brinkkwartier neighbourhood
The Brinkkwartier neighbourhood is a small, central area with about 420 residents, many of them living alone. It is a mix of old and newer housing, with three-quarters of the homes built before 1945. Residents across the municipality of Assen give their living environment an average score of 7.67, based on 15 reviews.

Another notes: "There's nothing in this neighbourhood. Everything is gone. Have to go to other districts for activities." So opinions vary, but the reviews reflect the wider municipality rather than this specific street.
