About De Savornin Lohmanplein 7B, Groningen
The asking price of €450,000 is 32% above the neighbourhood average of €340,972. However, the apartment is also 49% larger than the average home in Helpman (133 m² vs 89 m²). The price per m² works out to about €3,383, which is below the neighbourhood average of €3,930 per m². So while the total price is high, the size makes it relatively good value per square metre.
Energy label F is the second-lowest label on the scale, meaning the home is not very energy efficient. You can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a home with a better label. In Helpman, 27.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area. The label is an official registration and does not necessarily indicate poor insulation, it could be due to the heating system.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. The city centre is a 15-minute bike ride, so cycling is a convenient option for getting around Groningen.
The CBS data records 236 total crimes in Helpman, but without a per-capita figure it is hard to compare. The neighbourhood has a mix of residents and feels generally safe, according to the resident review. The area is quiet and residential, with good amenities within walking distance.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a fine neighbourhood, only in the evening when young people are around it's not safe, been shouted at and followed several times.

Auto-translated to English by AIVery good. Lots of friendly people and there's always something to do
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about two years and there is more than enough access to shops/churches/schools etc, that was never a problem. However, this neighbourhood is poorly connected to public transport, which really should be better. This was a major reason for me to want to move, it was too far from e.g. Zernike, friends, or everything on the north side of the city. The neighbourhood always felt safe otherwise. Most of the nuisance came from schoolchildren during breaks at e.g. the shops and around the schools. They often don't put their rubbish in a bin, which I personally found very annoying. Other than that, the neighbourhood is perfectly fine.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's cosy, the neighbourhood is beautifully green. Shops nearby, public transport nearby and the A28 nearby. Also many schools, primary and secondary. Hoornse Plas is within cycling distance. Open-air swimming pool De Papiermolen is within walking distance. In 10 minutes by bike you're in the city centre, perfect!
Auto-translated to English by AIAlways cosy, many different generations and everything is in the neighbourhood. Easy to reach and beautiful surroundings with perfect houses. (Other places here are less beautiful but where I live is gorgeous)

Auto-translated to English by AIPeople are friendly, I enjoy living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is always something to do. There are supermarkets and plenty of other shops, cafeterias, fresh bread from the bakery. Market once a week, a nice park with ponds for fishing.
Auto-translated to English by AIFine, it's safe to cycle home in the evening but it's not super either. And there is a huge piece of nature
Auto-translated to English by AIActually, everything is just fine. There are several eateries in the neighbourhood, supermarkets are close by, bus stops, you can park your bike easily, and with the city beach there is also a beautiful and well-known green area.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything in the neighbourhood: shops, sports facilities, schools, community centres. So something for everyone.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is a shopping centre opposite here so I always have something to see and never get bored
Auto-translated to English by AIVery beautiful neighbourhood in Groningen. Lots of facilities such as various schools, gym, playgrounds and plenty of supermarkets and other shops. What is unpleasant is that there is often rubbish next to the bins. Furthermore, the neighbourhood has many nice small parks and you are within no time in a quiet natural environment where you can enjoy walking, running, cycling etc. All in all, this neighbourhood is perfect for students but also for families and other city dwellers.
