A classic Groningen apartment
This apartment on Gerbrand Bakkerstraat sits in the Gorechtbuurt, a leafy corner of Oud-Oost with a relaxed, village-like feel. Built in 1924, it has the kind of character you don't find in newer developments, with 65 m² of living space spread over a practical layout. At €1,152 per month, the rent sat well below the neighbourhood average, which made it a keen option for anyone looking at apartments in Groningen. This home has not been online since 30 October 2026.
The Gorechtbuurt
Residents describe the area warmly, with one calling it a "cosy working-class neighbourhood" full of trees and rustling leaves, and another praising it as a "great spot" with amenities close by. A third resident mentions feeling very safe and enjoying the walk to the city beach and the calisthenics park near DOT. Based on four reviews, the neighbourhood scores a solid 7.6. It's a mix of young professionals and students, with many single-person households, which gives the streets a lively but friendly rhythm. For more on the area, see the Gorechtbuurt neighbourhood.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. A Jumbo and an AH to go are just around the corner, and a Lidl is a five-minute walk away, so picking up groceries is never a hassle. For families, IKC Borgman Oosterpark is a couple of streets away, and Praedinius Gymnasium is within a ten-minute walk for older students. The train station is about two kilometres away, which is handy for commutes. The whole setup feels geared to a simple, walkable routine, and the municipality of Groningen keeps the wider area well connected.
