No bad experiences here, nice young people, never any hassle. The swimming pool has just become a bit too expensive and I think that's a real shame.

About Engelberterweg 85, Groningen
At 285 m² with an A energy label, the price of €725,000 is on the high side compared to other apartments in Groningen. However, the size and efficiency are exceptional for the area, and the quiet village setting adds to its appeal. Without direct comparable sales in Engelbert, it's hard to say exactly, but the price reflects the unique combination of space, energy performance, and location.
Engelbert is a small, quiet village with a strong sense of community. One resident describes it as a 'wonderfully beautiful neighbourhood' with nice young people and no hassle. It's mostly owner-occupied single-family homes, so this apartment is a bit of an outlier. The area is green and peaceful, with a mix of ages. The only complaint is that the local swimming pool has become too expensive.
The closest supermarket is Coop, about 3 km away, roughly a ten-minute walk. Other options like Jumbo and Albert Heijn are a bit further, around 4 km. For daily shopping, you'll likely need a bike or car, but the village itself is quiet and car-friendly.
The nearest primary school is De Driebond, just 722 m away, a short walk. Other primary schools like Samenwerkingsschool Meeroevers and IKC Groenewei are within a few kilometres. For secondary education, the closest is about 5.7 km away, so you'd need to travel to Groningen city.
The nearest train station is 5.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bike or car to reach it. Bus services are not detailed in the listing, but given the village setting, a car is probably the most convenient option for getting around.
The home has an energy label A, which is very efficient. This means low energy costs for heating and electricity, and a smaller environmental footprint. It's a strong selling point, especially for a property of this size.
The apartment was built in 1915, so it's over a century old. Despite its age, it has been updated to an A energy label, suggesting good insulation and modern systems. The combination of character and efficiency is rare.
