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 Noordeinde 34, Meppel
The asking price of €275,000 is 29% below the average asking price in Historisch Centrum (€389,625) and also below the median of €365,000. However, the house is smaller than average (58 m² vs 96 m²) and has an older energy label D. Given its compact size and historic character, the price is keen compared to other homes in the neighbourhood.

The house was built in 1890, making it one of the older homes in Historisch Centrum, where 20% of properties date from before 1945. An older home often means character features like high ceilings and original details, but also potential maintenance needs. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so it's worth checking the condition of the roof, windows, and plumbing.
