Old neighbourhood, generally low income.
Auto-translated to English by AII feel at home in this neighbourhood. Very diverse, safe and easily accessible.
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 Bankastraat 9A, Groningen
The asking price is 49% above the average in the Indische buurt, but the apartment is also 42% larger than the typical home there. The price per square metre works out at about €4,167, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,571 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting more space for your money.
The energy label is E, which is common for a pre-war building from 1914. It means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, about 38% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
The Indische buurt has a total of 475 reported crimes, but residents generally feel safe. One review describes it as "safe and easily accessible," and another calls it "Safe and relaxing."

At 126 m², this apartment is 42% larger than the average home in the Indische buurt, which is 89 m². It is also significantly larger than the typical apartment in Groningen. The extra space is a key selling point, especially for a pre-war property.
