I have almost no contact with neighbours. There are three supermarkets within walking distance. Other amenities are also nearby. To get to the city centre, it's always a 15-minute bike ride, which is a shame.

About Haydnlaan 123, Groningen
Yes, it's priced below the Helpman average of €360,805 and the median of €339,500. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €3,895, so at €325,000 for 75 m², you're paying about €4,333 per m², slightly above the average, but the total price is still competitive. Given that similar homes in the area sell within 25 days on average, this listing is attractively priced.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In Helpman, 37.8% of homes have label C, and 22.2% have D or lower. A C label means reasonable energy efficiency, but you can expect moderate heating costs. It's not the most efficient, but it's not a concern either.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's a reasonable distance for occasional train travel, though daily commuting might be more convenient by bike or bus.
Based on one review, the resident says it's "mostly every man for himself, with occasional attempts to build a community." So it's not a tightly knit neighbourhood, but there are some community efforts. The area has many singles and young adults, so you'll likely find a mix of people who keep to themselves.
Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. The Joseph Haydn-School (primary) is just 17 m away, and Zernike College (secondary) is 212 m. The Groningse Schoolvereniging (primary) is also close at 213 m. So if you have children, you're well covered for education.
The city centre is about a 15-minute bike ride, according to a resident. That's a typical distance for Groningen, close enough for a quick trip, but far enough to enjoy a quieter residential street. Walking would take longer, but cycling is the norm here.
