Why is Drieban Wijdenes at the top?
Drieban Wijdenes scores a 9.2 on this list, with an average property value of € 647,000. That is the highest of every neighbourhood in Drechterland that has a grade for this measure.

The figures come from the CBS neighbourhood statistics for 2025. Both are published once a year; the list is recalculated as soon as a new edition appears.
