There are many houses close together, despite that it is a relatively accessible neighbourhood." Another, writing about houses near the central station, is less positive: "Many drug users, many dogs pooping on the street, a lot of noise." A third resident, however, calls it a top location: "It's close and just far enough from the centre that you're in a quiet, cosy neighbourhood, but you can easily find the bustling centre within 5 minutes. This will only get better when the new station is finished." These are based on six reviews in total.

Frequently asked questions
About Berkelstraat 6A, Groningen
Is €594 per month a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is €594 per month for a 100 m² apartment from 1938. With an energy label G, the running costs could be significant, so the total monthly outlay will be higher than the rent alone. Compared with other apartments in Groningen, the rent itself appears in line with the market.
What does the energy label G mean for this home?
Energy label G is the lowest label on the official scale. It is an official registration, and it means the home is not energy-efficient. You should expect higher heating costs compared with a home with a better label. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
