Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood with lots of nature, close to the centre but very quiet.
Auto-translated to English by AII haven't lived here very long, but I'm especially a fan of the green surroundings and walking routes. I was also surprised that people from my block like to chat and know each other reasonably well. On the street I don't always feel very safe, because there are relatively many people with (visible) mental health and/or drug problems. Yet after living here for a short time, I noticed that I need to worry less than I thought and most people are very friendly here. I am less of a fan of the amenities here; only the Plus supermarket is in the neighbourhood, but that's not necessarily very affordable for everyone. Furthermore, there isn't much within walking distance. I also notice that, for example, on my street there is quite a lot of litter (now also a lot of old fireworks) and the gardens are generally not maintained. This could certainly be improved (:
Auto-translated to English by AInice park, close to the centre, two supermarkets nearby, also two hairdressers, community centre with many activities and cheap lunch/dinner around the corner. Second-hand clothing shop, flower shop and a few other shops, including two cafeterias, a pizza delivery, in short plenty of amenities. And also just over 5 minutes by bike from the centre.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave been living here for 5 years, very pleasant. Lots of nice people. Good for starters.

About Ambonstraat 17A, Groningen
At €200,000, this is the cheapest home for sale in the Indische buurt and 43% below the neighbourhood average of €353,480. The floor area is 39% smaller than average, so the price per square metre is in line with the market. Given the compact size and energy label E, the price is keen for the location.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. Heating costs are likely to be higher than in a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 37.9% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
The train station is a ten-minute walk away. The neighbourhood is very urban, so public transport is well connected.
The Indische buurt has many single-person households (51%) and relatively few families with children (9%). Primary schools are within a five-minute walk, and there is a park just around the corner. Some residents find it safe and quiet, while others note it is a low-income area.
There are currently 25 homes for sale in the Indische buurt, with prices ranging from €200,000 to €569,000. The average asking price is €353,480, and the average floor area is 89 m².
The flat was built in 1936, so it is an older property. In the neighbourhood, 84.8% of homes were built before 1945. Older homes may require more maintenance, but specific details are not provided in the listing.
