Old neighbourhood, generally low income.
Auto-translated to English by AII feel at home in this neighbourhood. Very diverse, safe and easily accessible.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood with lots of nature, close to the centre but very quiet.
Auto-translated to English by AII haven't lived here very long, but I'm especially a fan of the green surroundings and walking routes. I was also surprised that people from my block like to chat and know each other reasonably well. On the street I don't always feel very safe, because there are relatively many people with (visible) mental health and/or drug problems. Yet after living here for a short time, I noticed that I need to worry less than I thought and most people are very friendly here. I am less of a fan of the amenities here; only the Plus supermarket is in the neighbourhood, but that's not necessarily very affordable for everyone. Furthermore, there isn't much within walking distance. I also notice that, for example, on my street there is quite a lot of litter (now also a lot of old fireworks) and the gardens are generally not maintained. This could certainly be improved (:
Auto-translated to English by AInice park, close to the centre, two supermarkets nearby, also two hairdressers, community centre with many activities and cheap lunch/dinner around the corner. Second-hand clothing shop, flower shop and a few other shops, including two cafeterias, a pizza delivery, in short plenty of amenities. And also just over 5 minutes by bike from the centre.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave been living here for 5 years, very pleasant. Lots of nice people. Good for starters.

About Eerste Hunzestraat 25A, Groningen
The asking price of €250,000 is 29% below the average asking price in the Indische buurt (€353,480) and also below the median of €340,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (61 m² vs 89 m²). Given the compact size and the energy label F, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a smaller, older apartment in this neighbourhood.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means you can expect relatively high heating and electricity costs. In the Indische buurt, about 38% of homes have a label D or lower, so an F label is not uncommon for a pre-war apartment like this one (built in 1896).
The Indische buurt recorded 475 total crimes in the latest data, which is a relatively high number for a neighbourhood of this size. However, resident reviews are mixed: one person describes it as "safe and easily accessible", while another calls it "deprived". It's a dense urban area with a lot of activity, so it's worth visiting at different times to get a feel for it.
The nearest train station is 1.3 km away, about a ten-minute walk.
Yes, a park or public garden is just 0.2 km away, on your doorstep. Residents mention "lots of nature" and that the area is "close to the centre but very quiet", so there are green spots to enjoy despite the urban setting.
There are currently 25 homes for sale in the Indische buurt, with an average price of €353,480 and an average size of 89 m². This apartment is smaller and cheaper than most, so it stands out as a more affordable option in the area.
