Helpman, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis third-floor apartment on Helperveste feels spacious and modern, with 103 m² of living space and an A energy label. Built in 2004, it sits in a quiet street in Helpman, a popular part of Groningen. The asking price of €375,000 is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €360,805, but the efficient layout and low energy costs make it a fair proposition. For context, apartments in Groningen vary widely, and this one stands out for its size and label.
Helpman is a leafy, well-established area with a mix of students, young professionals and families. One resident describes it as "mostly every man for himself, with occasional attempts to build a community", a candid take on the social atmosphere. The neighbourhood has a high density of addresses (3,364 per km²) and is very urban, yet it offers plenty of green space with a park just a five-minute walk away. The neighbourhood Helpman is home to many singles and couples, and the average income is around the city norm.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Lidl and Aldi are a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: Zernike College for secondary education is a five-minute walk, and Joseph Haydn primary school is also within easy reach. The city centre is a 15-minute bike ride, which one resident noted as a slight drawback, but the tram and bus connections are good. The municipality Groningen offers excellent amenities, and the train station is about 2 km away.

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 Helperveste 40, Groningen
The asking price is €375,000, which is about 4% above the average sale price in Helpman (€360,805) and 10% above the median (€339,500). However, this apartment is larger (103 m²) than the neighbourhood average (94 m²) and has an A energy label, which adds value. Given that similar homes in the area sell within 25 days on average, the price seems in line with the market.
The apartment has an energy label A, which is very efficient. This means low heating and electricity costs compared to older homes. In Helpman, only about 13% of homes have label A or better, so this is a strong point. You can expect a comfortable home with manageable energy bills.

There are several schools within walking distance. Zernike College (secondary) is 327 metres away, and Joseph Haydn primary school is 549 metres. The Gomarus College is also close. This makes the area convenient for families with school-age children.
