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 Helper Oostsingel 42F, Groningen
The asking price is 31% below the neighbourhood average of €360,805, and also below the median of €339,500. Given that it's a recent build (2021) with an excellent energy label, the price looks keen relative to the local market. However, the apartment is compact at 74 m², so the price per m² works out to about €3,365, which is below the neighbourhood average of €3,895.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. In Helpman, only about 13% of homes for sale have label A or better, so this is a standout feature. You can expect minimal energy bills compared to older properties in the area.
