Professorenbuurt, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Diephuisstraat sits in the lively Professorenbuurt, a neighbourhood where students, families and older residents mix easily. At 65 m² with an E energy label, it's a compact home that needs some attention on heating costs. The asking price of €225,000 is notably lower than the neighbourhood average of €372,948, making it a keen entry point into Groningen's owner-occupied market. For context, apartments in Groningen vary widely in price and condition.
Residents describe the Professorenbuurt as a youthful, friendly area with plenty going on. One calls it "the neighbourhood that has everything" and notes the many facilities, parks and quick access to nature. Another says it's "a great place to live" despite some messiness around bins and bike parking. The area has a strong student presence, but also families and older residents. With 85% of homes built before 1945, the housing stock is old, which explains the E label here. The neighbourhood Professorenbuurt is densely populated and very urban, with over 5,400 addresses per km².
For daily shopping, the Lidl is just around the corner, and the Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including St. Franciscus and Openbare Basisschool Karrepad, both about a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood has small parks and playgrounds, and the train station is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Groningen offers a wide range of cultural and leisure amenities.

Very 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is quite cosy, though sometimes dirty because rubbish isn't put in the bins, so hygiene isn't always great. Lots of students, so sometimes there aren't enough places to park your bike. There isn't really a neighbourhood association or other communities that I'm part of. The area also has a primary school, a university of applied sciences, a nice park, several playgrounds and plenty of other amenities. Definitely a safe neighbourhood, but the houses are very old. All in all, a great place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant neighbours all around, cosy, many amenities in the area, fairly green, people greet each other or have a chat. Annual neighbourhood party. Easily accessible from both sides of the ring road. Safe feeling of living. Both students, elderly and families.
Auto-translated to English by AIA good neighbourhood, but a lot of waste from the Orientals on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood! Often there is rubbish from the shop in the street. Otherwise, it's a fun neighbourhood!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause of the many 'students' and junkies in my complex, I don't feel very safe.. also had a break-in at my previous home and now have very unpleasant neighbours. The housing association does nothing about it

About Diephuisstraat 11A, Groningen
The asking price of €225,000 is about 40% below the average asking price in the Professorenbuurt, which is €372,948. However, this apartment has an E energy label, which is less efficient than most homes for sale in the area. The lower price reflects the need for energy improvements, so it's a trade-off between upfront cost and future bills.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. In the Professorenbuurt, most homes for sale have a better label: about 70% are C or higher. With label E, you can expect higher heating costs. The home was built in 1934, so insulation and heating systems are likely outdated.
The Professorenbuurt is a busy, youthful neighbourhood with a mix of students, families and older residents. It has many amenities: supermarkets, schools, parks and playgrounds. Residents appreciate the cosy atmosphere and friendly neighbours, but note that rubbish can be an issue and bike parking is sometimes tight. It's a safe area with a strong sense of community.
