Very beautiful neighbourhood in Groningen. Lots of facilities such as various schools, gym, playgrounds and plenty of supermarkets and other shops. What is unpleasant is that there is often rubbish next to the bins. Furthermore, the neighbourhood has many nice small parks and you are within no time in a quiet natural environment where you can enjoy walking, running, cycling etc. All in all, this neighbourhood is perfect for students but also for families and other city dwellers.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is quite cosy, though sometimes dirty because rubbish isn't put in the bins, so hygiene isn't always great. Lots of students, so sometimes there aren't enough places to park your bike. There isn't really a neighbourhood association or other communities that I'm part of. The area also has a primary school, a university of applied sciences, a nice park, several playgrounds and plenty of other amenities. Definitely a safe neighbourhood, but the houses are very old. All in all, a great place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant neighbours all around, cosy, many amenities in the area, fairly green, people greet each other or have a chat. Annual neighbourhood party. Easily accessible from both sides of the ring road. Safe feeling of living. Both students, elderly and families.
Auto-translated to English by AIA good neighbourhood, but a lot of waste from the Orientals on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood! Often there is rubbish from the shop in the street. Otherwise, it's a fun neighbourhood!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause of the many 'students' and junkies in my complex, I don't feel very safe.. also had a break-in at my previous home and now have very unpleasant neighbours. The housing association does nothing about it

About Heymanslaan 10B, Groningen
The asking price of €300,000 is 20% below the average asking price in the Professorenbuurt (€372,948) and also below the median of €325,000. Given the 91 m² floor area, that works out at about €3,297 per m², while the neighbourhood average is €4,698 per m². So it's priced keenly, though the energy label D and 1930s construction mean you may want to budget for upgrades.
The energy label is D. In the Professorenbuurt, 29.7% of homes have a label D or lower, while 26.6% have A+. A D label means moderate energy efficiency, heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but it's not the worst. You could improve the label with insulation or a new heating system.
The Professorenbuurt has a mix of students, families and older residents. There are several primary schools within walking distance, playgrounds and parks. One resident says it's "perfect for students but also for families and other city dwellers." However, the neighbourhood is very dense and can be busy, with some issues around rubbish and bike parking.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. The city centre is easily reachable by bike.
Residents describe the neighbourhood as safe. One says "definitely a safe neighbourhood" and another mentions a "safe feeling of living." The total number of recorded crimes in the area is 464, but without context it's hard to compare. The general impression from reviews is positive.
Parking can be tight, especially for bikes. One resident notes that "sometimes there aren't enough places to park your bike." The home is in a dense urban area, so car parking may be limited. It's best to check with the municipality for permits and availability.
