A new-build apartment on the Friesestraatweg
This brand-new apartment on the Friesestraatweg in Groningen is part of a 2025 development, so everything is fresh and unused. This listing did not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the home's location and the neighbourhood, not its energy performance. At €1,120 per month, the rent sat 20% below the neighbourhood average of €1,396, which was keen for a new-build in this part of the city. For context, that's in line with what you'd expect for apartments in Groningen. This home has not been online since 5 October 2026.
