Laren, Lochem
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Molenbeek sits in the village of Laren, a quiet spot in the Achterhoek. The home itself is a classic 1972 build with a floor area of 98 m², but the real talking point is the plot: a generous 1,293 m² of ground, which is unusual for a terraced house. At €795 per month, the rent is in line with what you would expect for a home of this size in this area. For context, terraced houses in Lochem give you a sense of what is available nearby.
Laren is a small village with around 1,800 residents, and the figures show a mix of ages, with a noticeable share of residents over 65. It is a place where many households live without children, though families are present too. The streets are quiet and the pace of life is unhurried, which suits those who like a bit of peace. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here is drawn from the local statistics. The village itself is part of the municipality of Lochem, which covers a wider rural area.
For daily errands, the PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, so picking up bread or groceries is a quick trip. A couple of streets away there is also a restaurant, handy for an evening out without getting in the car. For families, the nearest primary school is a ten-minute walk, and there is a childcare centre nearby as well. The village has a GP practice within easy reach, and the train station is a bit further out, about six kilometres away. It is a practical setup for everyday life in a rural setting.

About Molenbeek 65, Laren

The large plot is a notable feature that adds value, especially compared to typical terraced homes. The energy label is C, which is average, so heating costs should be moderate. Overall, the price reflects the size and the generous outdoor space.
The energy label for this home is C. This is an official registration that indicates the energy performance of the property. A label C is in the middle of the scale, meaning it is neither particularly efficient nor inefficient. You can expect reasonable energy costs, though they will not be as low as with a more efficient label like A or B. The label is registered in the official EP-Online system.
The plot measures 1,293 m², which is exceptionally large for a terraced house. This gives you a substantial amount of outdoor space around the home, far more than you would typically find with this property type.

How residents experience their municipality
Many unfriendly, gloomy elderly people who call the shots
Auto-translated to English by AIGenerally good contact.
Auto-translated to English by AILittle sociability!
Auto-translated to English by AIMany elderly people live here, and as a family with children, that can sometimes be lonely. However, there are all kinds of nice, friendly people in the neighborhood. People who live here don't do crazy things; it's just safe despite the lack of lampposts. Hygiene is also fine; few people throw trash on the street here, although that happens a lot on the Deventerweg.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy, never any problems, people often help each other, there are quite a few playgrounds in the village, there are nice meadows and beautiful houses, it is clean and otherwise safe, except for the asylum centre further down which sometimes causes problems. All in all, a nice neighbourhood with almost never any problems.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a perfectly quiet neighbourhood to live in, just outside the city of Lochem but you're there in no time. Lots of farms but also plenty of peace and quiet. In summer, only the fertilisation of the land is a nuisance. Otherwise, a fine area to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood with nice people, the facilities that are there are all easily accessible.
Auto-translated to English by AII really enjoy living here in the municipality of Lochem. Eefde is beautiful. The nature is abundant and (often) it is just left to its own devices. There are about 2 or 3 secondary schools relatively nearby and several primary schools. The community sometimes leaves something to be desired. People live here quite isolated; I don't know the names of some of my neighbours, or they have moved without you really noticing. The roads around us are intense; there is a provincial road running right through where I live, but it is what it is. And because of that road, we at least have a bus connection. However, the bus is not accessible (in the disabled sense). As soon as you have trouble walking, you can only take the bus in one of the two directions. This means you can only go to Deventer and only return here from Zutphen. The other side is not paved and not even maintained. This means you have to walk through tall grass on uneven ground. Barely doable with a crutch, and completely not (as in, really just Not.) doable in a wheelchair.
