Buying a home in Oldehove, Oldehove.
Oldehove is built around its famous leaning tower—a 16th-century brick monument that anchors the main square where locals gather year-round. You'll find mostly historic farmhouses and traditional dwellings here, many renovated while keeping their character intact. Life moves at the pace of the agricultural land around you; this is genuinely quiet countryside, not a bedroom suburb. The nearby villages and Groningen city are reachable, but you're choosing to live in the rhythm of the polder, not commute through it.

What to consider when buying in Oldehove
Pros:
- Oldehove village church (16th century) is the main landmark and gives the place actual history to walk around
- Small primary school still operating in the village itself, no need to bus young kids out immediately
- Direct bus connection (line 65) to Groningen Central Station takes roughly 20 minutes
- Cheaper per-square-meter than Groningen city proper, older farmhouses and modest homes still available at lower prices
- Quiet countryside setting with actual farms and fields within walking distance, not suburban sprawl
Cons:
- No local supermarket in Oldehove itself; nearest Albert Heijn or Jumbo is in Leek or Groningen
- Single bus line means if line 65 is disrupted, you're stranded unless you drive
- Houses here are mostly old rural stock (late 1800s farmhouses, small workers' cottages) requiring significant renovation work
- No secondary school in the village; teenagers must commute daily to Groningen or Leek
- Limited evening activity—no cinema, bars, or restaurants within the village proper
