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 Celebesstraat 12B, Groningen
The asking price of €325,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €353,480 and the median of €340,000. Given the 95 m² floor area, the price per m² comes to about €3,421, which is well below the neighbourhood average of €5,571 per m². However, the E energy label means higher energy costs, so factor that in.
The Indische buurt scores 7.87 out of 10 from ten reviews. Residents appreciate its diversity, safety, and accessibility, with one calling it 'lovely' and another noting it's 'safe and relaxing' with lots of nature. However, one review describes it as a 'deprived neighbourhood' with low income. The area has many young adults and single-person households.
The nearest train station is 1.3 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk or a short cycle ride.
The Albert Heijn is just 46 metres away, literally on your doorstep. A Lidl and a PLUS are both within about 550,560 metres, a five-minute walk. There's also a Jumbo and an Aldi within about 770 metres.
