Helpman, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Helper Westsingel in Groningen is a recent addition to the neighbourhood, built in 2022. The listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €320,000, the price is in line with the market given the compact floor area of 47 m², which is half the neighbourhood average. For context, the average price per m² in Helpman is €3,895, and this home comes in at around €6,809 per m², which is on the high side. Compare with other apartments in Groningen.
Helpman is a densely populated area with a mix of residents. One resident describes it as "mostly every man for himself, with occasional attempts to build a community." The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households (2,675 out of 4,055 households) and a relatively young population, with many residents aged 25 to 45. The neighbourhood Helpman is strongly urban, with an address density of 3,364 per km². Amenities are close by, but the city centre is a 15-minute bike ride away, which some find a drawback.
For daily shopping, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner and a Lidl and Aldi a couple of streets away. There are several secondary schools within walking distance, including Gomarus College and Zernike College, both about a five-minute walk. The municipality Groningen offers a wide range of cultural and leisure facilities, with a restaurant and a park or garden both within a five-minute walk.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including 050Wonen, Funda, Pararius, and others.

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 Westsingel 49-1, Groningen
The asking price of €320,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €360,805 for all homes, but this is a compact apartment of 47 m². The price per m² works out at about €6,809, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,895 per m². However, it is a new-build (2022) in a market where similar apartments have sold for around €320,581 on average. So the price is on the high side but reflects the modern construction.
