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 21A, Groningen
The asking price of €259,000 is very close to the average sale price in the Bloemenbuurt (€260,669) and slightly above the median of €250,000. Given that the apartment is 91 m², 38% larger than the neighbourhood average of 66 m², the price per m² (€2,846) is actually lower than the local average of €4,185 per m². So it appears reasonably priced for its size.
Homes in this neighbourhood sell quickly, the average time on the market is just 16 days. This suggests a fast-moving market, so if you are interested, you may want to act promptly.
The energy label is D, which is average for a home built in 1928. In the neighbourhood, 36.4% of homes have a label D or lower, while 18.2% have label A. A D label means moderate energy efficiency, so you can expect reasonable but not minimal energy costs.
The Bloemenbuurt has a mix of residents, but families may find it challenging. One resident notes that family homes with gardens are scarce, and there are concerns about local education. However, the area has a primary school (IKC Borgman Oosterpark) within a five-minute walk and several secondary schools nearby. Only 19% of households have children, so it is not a predominantly family-oriented area.
The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. Groningen's main station offers connections to the rest of the country.
The closest supermarket is Jumbo at 222 metres, just around the corner. Other options include AH to go (571 m), Lidl (934 m), and Albert Heijn (1.1 km). So daily groceries are very convenient.
