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, Groningen
Yes, it's right at the median price for the Bloemenbuurt, where apartments typically sell for around €250,000. The average price per square metre is €4,185, and this home's 52 m² works out to about €4,808/m², slightly above average, but the location and character of the building justify it.
Homes here sell fast, on average within 16 days. That's a sign of a lively market, so if you're interested, you'll want to be prepared to move quickly.
The energy label is D, which is average for a pre-war apartment. You can expect moderate heating costs, but it's not the most efficient. Many homes in the neighbourhood have labels C or lower, so this is typical for the area.
The Bloemenbuurt has a mix of residents, but families may find it challenging to get a home with a garden, as one resident noted. There are primary schools within walking distance, and the area is diverse and friendly, but larger family homes are scarce.
Groningen's main train station is 2.6 km away, about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's convenient for commuting to other cities.

Yes, the Oosterpark is just 200 metres away, a lovely spot for a stroll or a run. It's one of the largest parks in Groningen and a real asset to the neighbourhood.
