A lively spot in the heart of Groningen
This apartment on Hanzeplein sits in Binnenstad-Oost, a neighbourhood where the city centre is genuinely on your doorstep. At €1,235 per month, the rent sat well below the neighbourhood average, which made it a keen option compared with other apartments in Groningen. The 92 m² floor area was on the compact side for the area, but the energy label B kept running costs reasonable. This home has not been online since 3 September 2026.
