Auto-translated to English by AILots of trees, rustling leaves, a pleasant walk along the pond. A quick greeting, a chat with a neighbour. Quickly on the bike to pick up a forgotten item. Another familiar face in the shop. How's it going?
Auto-translated to English by AII really enjoy living here. It's within walking distance of Lidl and Aldi. I also like going to the city beach and doing my workouts at the calisthenics park near DOT. I feel very safe in the neighbourhood. There are some students living behind who can make noise until late in the evening, but I don't mind that. Otherwise, I live with many young working people in the apartment complex. All in all, very satisfied. You can definitely live here!!
Auto-translated to English by AIA fresh, easily accessible neighbourhood with some new-build homes. Everything is neat and tidy, at least that's my impression now that I've been living here for a month. As far as I know, there are few neighbourhood activities and associations. This was better organised in the Zeeheldenbuurt.

About Gorechtkade 9B, Groningen
The asking price of €272,500 is below the neighbourhood average of €288,340 and the median of €279,000. Given that the apartment is 90 m², which is 32% larger than the average of 68 m² in the Gorechtbuurt, the price per square metre works out at about €3,028, well under the neighbourhood average of €4,529. So it's priced keenly for its size.
The energy label is D. That means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern property. In the Gorechtbuurt, about 34% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
