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 Dr. D. Bosstraat 3A, Groningen
The asking price is above the neighbourhood median of €339,500 and the average of €360,805. However, this apartment is 126 m², which is 34% larger than the neighbourhood average of 94 m². Per square metre, the price of €3,167 is below the neighbourhood average of €3,895, so you get more space for your money. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra square metres.
The home has energy label C. This is a decent rating, meaning the home is reasonably energy-efficient. In the neighbourhood, 37.8% of homes have label C, while 22.2% have a lower rating (D or worse). You can expect moderate energy bills, but not as low as with an A or B label.
Helpman is a quiet residential area with good amenities. There are three supermarkets within walking distance, including Albert Heijn just 250 metres away. Primary and secondary schools are also nearby. The city centre is a 15-minute bike ride, which one resident finds a bit far.

The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. The area is well connected for cycling, with the centre reachable in 15 minutes by bike.
The apartment was built in 1924, so it is nearly a century old. The energy label C suggests it has been modernised to some extent, but you should expect the character of a pre-war building. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes date from before 1945, so this is typical for the area.
Yes, the nearest park or public garden is 0.5 km away, about a six-minute walk. Helpman is known for its leafy streets and proximity to green areas, making it a pleasant neighbourhood for walks.
With 126 m², it is likely to have at least two or three bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
