A bright upper apartment in Coendersborg
This upper apartment on Helperzoom sits in Coendersborg, a calm residential pocket of Groningen where the streets are lined with mature trees and the pace of life feels unhurried. The home was part of a 1967 building, and the last known asking price of €285,000 sat 24% below the average asking price of €377,350 for apartments in Groningen. That makes it a sharp entry point for the area, especially given the 81 m² of living space. The listing did not state an energy label, so that detail was missing from the agent's description. This home has not been online since 25 September 2026.
Inside the home
Step inside and you find a single-floor layout with three rooms, two bedrooms and one bathroom. The living space measured 81 m² according to both the BAG registration and the agent's listing, so there was no discrepancy to puzzle over. A balcony extends the living space outdoors, and the home is heated by block heating. The agent noted double glazing and wall insulation, and the property was offered as full ownership. A monthly homeowners' association fee of €184 applies.

Why was there no energy label in the listing?
