Helpman, Groningen

I have almost no contact with neighbours. There are three supermarkets within walking distance. Other amenities are also nearby. To get to the city centre, it's always a 15-minute bike ride, which is a shame.

About De Savornin Lohmanlaan 8A, Groningen

So you're paying more, but you're getting significantly more space. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra square metres and the classic 1920s character.
