Everyone is helpful to each other. We are there for each other and if someone needs something, there are more than enough people willing to help. On the other hand, for families it is so difficult to get a family home with a small garden and own front door. There are far too few terraced houses that consist of just an average single-family home with 2 floors. That makes expanding the family terribly difficult. In terms of education, unfortunately I don't hear many good things within my circle of acquaintances. More attention should be paid to the interaction between teacher and student. And communication with parents could definitely be better. My daughter attends a playgroup and so far I only have good things to say about that, fortunately. Furthermore, one-on-one attention could help students. Moreover, I think that students in secondary schools should learn about the Second World War. It is an important part of our history.

About Hortensialaan 11, Groningen
The asking price of €265,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €260,870 and the median of €250,000. At roughly €5,096 per m², it's higher than the average of €4,185 per m² in the Bloemenbuurt. However, homes here sell quickly, typically within 16 days, which suggests demand is strong. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the central location and the apartment's original features.

The home was built in 1928, so some insulation improvements may be possible.
