NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Wepel sits in a peaceful part of Annen, a village where life moves at a gentler pace. With 144 m² of living space and a 263 m² plot, it offers room to spread out. The asking price of €535,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but it reflects the size and energy label B.

Annen is a tight-knit village where neighbours look out for each other. One resident describes it as a "quiet neighbourhood, fine place to live" and notes that "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." The village has a mix of ages, with many families and older residents. Most homes are owner-occupied, and the area feels safe. For more on the area, see municipality Aa en Hunze.

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.
