Rivierenbuurt, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis rental apartment on Fongersplaats sits in a lively part of Groningen, where the city centre is a short walk away. The 94 m² home has an A energy label, so heating costs should be low. At €585 per month, the rent is 41% below the neighbourhood average of €991, a keen price for the size. For context, apartments in Groningen vary widely, but this one stands out for its value.
The Rivierenbuurt is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a mix of students and young professionals.

Another notes that "the neighbourhood isn't really green" and has "many houses close together," though it remains "relatively accessible." A third review mentions "many drug users, many dogs pooping on the street, a lot of noise", so the experience varies. Based on six reviews, the average score is 6.84. The area has a very high density of addresses (4,374 per km²) and is mostly flats, with many single-person households. Learn more about the neighbourhood Rivierenbuurt.

The neighbourhood isn't really green. There are many houses close together, despite that it is a relatively accessible neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's close and just far enough from the centre that you're in a quiet, cosy neighbourhood, but you can easily find the bustling centre within 5 minutes. This will only get better when the new station is finished.
Auto-translated to English by AIStation nearby, pub/terrace nearby, supermarket within walking distance and city centre also 5 minutes by bike. But the street is busy with traffic. Other than that, there are many students/young professionals living here, so there's almost never any trouble with crime (once a man was in our garden stealing empty crates of beer), but there can be some noise nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood to live in! Within walking distance of the city and yet green spaces nearby. Pleasant to live in both as a student and as parents with young children!
Auto-translated to English by AIthis is a very nice neighbourhood to live in. everything is within walking distance and cafe de klikspaan in the middle of the neighbourhood is a nice meeting point. the plus is also a nice shop.
