Very beautiful neighbourhood in Groningen. Lots of facilities such as various schools, gym, playgrounds and plenty of supermarkets and other shops. What is unpleasant is that there is often rubbish next to the bins. Furthermore, the neighbourhood has many nice small parks and you are within no time in a quiet natural environment where you can enjoy walking, running, cycling etc. All in all, this neighbourhood is perfect for students but also for families and other city dwellers.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is quite cosy, though sometimes dirty because rubbish isn't put in the bins, so hygiene isn't always great. Lots of students, so sometimes there aren't enough places to park your bike. There isn't really a neighbourhood association or other communities that I'm part of. The area also has a primary school, a university of applied sciences, a nice park, several playgrounds and plenty of other amenities. Definitely a safe neighbourhood, but the houses are very old. All in all, a great place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant neighbours all around, cosy, many amenities in the area, fairly green, people greet each other or have a chat. Annual neighbourhood party. Easily accessible from both sides of the ring road. Safe feeling of living. Both students, elderly and families.
Auto-translated to English by AIA good neighbourhood, but a lot of waste from the Orientals on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood! Often there is rubbish from the shop in the street. Otherwise, it's a fun neighbourhood!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause of the many 'students' and junkies in my complex, I don't feel very safe.. also had a break-in at my previous home and now have very unpleasant neighbours. The housing association does nothing about it

About Hamburgerstraat 70A, Groningen
The asking price of €239,000 is 36% below the average asking price in the Professorenbuurt, which is €372,948. However, this apartment has an energy label E, while most homes for sale in the neighbourhood have better labels. The price reflects both the smaller size and the older energy performance, so it is in line with what you would expect for a pre-war apartment needing some energy upgrades.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. In the Professorenbuurt, about 30% of homes for sale have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war building. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home, but the exact amount depends on usage and future improvements.
The Professorenbuurt is very well equipped. There are several supermarkets within a five-minute walk, including Albert Heijn and Lidl. Primary schools are also close by, with Openbare Basisschool Karrepad just a couple of streets away. The area has many small parks and playgrounds, and the city centre is easily reachable on foot or by bike.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, about a twenty-minute walk. The neighbourhood is well connected by bike and car, with the ring road easily accessible.
Residents generally feel safe. One review mentions it is "definitely a safe neighbourhood," though another notes that rubbish not being put in bins can be an issue. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 464, which is moderate for a dense urban area.
The Professorenbuurt has a mix of students, families, and elderly residents. About 39% of the population is between 15 and 25 years old, and 36% is between 25 and 45. Many households are single-person (around 50%), but there are also families with children. Residents describe it as a youthful, friendly area where people greet each other.
Yes, there is a park or public garden just 0.2 km away, so green space is on your doorstep. The neighbourhood also has several small parks and playgrounds, as mentioned by residents. For a quiet natural environment, you can be there within no time, according to one review.
The apartment was built in 1935, so it has pre-war character. The energy label E suggests that insulation and heating systems may be original or outdated. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should expect some maintenance and potential upgrades.
