A quiet flat in Selwerd
This apartment on Duindoornstraat sits in a lively part of Selwerd, with the shopping centre opposite and the city centre a short walk away. At 79 m² and with energy label C, it's a practical home for someone who wants to be close to everything. The last known asking price of €235,000 was keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €311,500, and well below the median of €295,000, partly because this was a smaller flat than the typical 94 m² home in the area. For context, apartments in Groningen vary widely, but this one was priced to move. This home has not been online since 15 July 2026.
