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 J.C. Kapteynlaan 10A, Groningen
The asking price of €295,000 is 21% below the average asking price in the Professorenbuurt (€372,948) and also below the median of €325,000. Given the 111 m² floor area, which is 29% larger than the neighbourhood average of 86 m², the price per m² works out at about €2,658, well under the neighbourhood average of €4,698 per m². So it is priced keenly for its size.
The home has energy label D. In the Professorenbuurt, about 30% of homes for sale have a label D or lower, while 26.6% have A+++. Label D means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. The listing does not mention insulation or double glazing, so you should expect some draughts in winter.
The Professorenbuurt is mixed: about 12% of households have children, and there are several primary schools within walking distance. Residents mention playgrounds and a safe feeling. However, the area also has many students, so it is lively rather than quiet. One resident notes that bike parking can be tight. Overall, families do live here, but it is not a typical suburban family neighbourhood.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, about a 20-minute walk. The city centre of Groningen is easily reachable by bike or bus.
At 111 m², this apartment is 29% larger than the average apartment for sale in the Professorenbuurt (86 m²). Most homes in the neighbourhood were built before 1945 (85.5%), so larger units like this are relatively rare. The extra space is a real advantage.
Residents describe the neighbourhood as safe. One review says: "Definitely a safe neighbourhood, but the houses are very old." The total number of crimes reported in the area is 464, but without context it is hard to compare. The general feeling from reviews is positive.
