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 Floresplein 12B, Groningen
The asking price of €250,000 is 29% below the neighbourhood average of €353,480, and also below the median of €340,000. Given the large floor area of 116 m², the price per m² works out at about €2,155, which is well under the neighbourhood average of €5,571 per m². This makes it a keen price, though the energy label F means higher running costs.
The Indische buurt is a diverse, densely populated area with a mix of incomes. Residents appreciate its safety, accessibility and proximity to nature and the city centre. However, some note it is an older neighbourhood with lower incomes. The area has many young adults and single-person households, and a high number of reported crimes (475 in the latest data).
The nearest train station is 1.3 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk or a short cycle ride.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Openbare Basisschool Karrepad (435 m), De Kleine Wereld (622 m), St. Franciscus (714 m) and IKC Borgman Ebbinge (788 m). For secondary education, Gomarus College Magnolia is 919 m away.
Albert Heijn is just 137 m away, so literally on your doorstep. Lidl, Jumbo and Aldi are all within 600 m, and PLUS is 669 m away. You have plenty of options for daily shopping.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. In the neighbourhood, 37.9% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war apartment, but you should budget for significant energy bills.
