Annen, Aa en Hunze
NeighbourhoodThis mid-terrace house on Vlouwakkers sits in a peaceful part of Annen, a village where neighbours still borrow a lawnmower from each other. With 124 m² of living space and an energy label A, it's efficient and ready to go. The asking price of €345,000 is the cheapest of the eight homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and sits 29% below the average asking price of €484,750, a keen entry point for terraced houses in Aa en Hunze.
Annen scores an 8 out of 10 from its one reviewer, who describes it as a 'quiet neighbourhood, fine place to live'. They say: 'Contact with immediate neighbours is good. You can always ask for help or to borrow a lawnmower, for example. There is social control, but not in an annoying way. More like extra eyes on the lookout, which does give a sense of safety.' The same resident notes that people are friendly but that it's hard to really integrate without children. The village has sufficient amenities, and nearby Zuidlaren offers more shops. The municipality Aa en Hunze is a rural area with a low population density.
For your morning bread, the Coop and Aldi are both just around the corner. Basisschool De Eshoek is a couple of streets away, and there's a child daycare centre even closer. The nearest secondary school is a bit further, about 7.6 km, so older children may need to travel to Gieten or Assen. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant and library are both a five-minute walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Huize Bier Makelaars.

Contact with immediate neighbours is good. You can always ask for help or to borrow a lawnmower, for example. There is social control, but not in an annoying way. More like extra eyes on the lookout, which does give a sense of safety. The village has sufficient amenities and nearby Zuidlaren has many shops, such as a chemist and a butcher. The bus connection to Groningen is great, every half hour. Secondary schools are a bit more difficult in terms of transport if you don't want to go to Gieten or Assen. People in the village are friendly, but I notice it's hard to really integrate without children.
