Bloemenbuurt, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis 1928 apartment on Hortensialaan sits in a lively part of Groningen where the streets are lined with trees and the atmosphere is friendly. At 52 m² it's compact but well laid out, with an energy label D, not the most efficient, so heating costs are something to keep an eye on. The asking price of €250,000 is exactly the median for the neighbourhood, so it's in line with the market. For context, apartments in Groningen sell at an average of €4,185 per m².

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.
