Frequently asked questions
About J.C. Kapteynlaan 10A, Groningen
Was €295,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €295,000 was 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 was 29% larger than the neighbourhood average of 86 m², the price per m² worked out at about €2,658, well under the neighbourhood average of €4,698 per m². So it was priced keenly for its size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has energy label D. In the Professorenbuurt, about 30% of homes for sale had a label D or lower, while 26.6% had A+++. Label D meant the home was not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs would be higher than in a modern home.
How is the neighbourhood for families?
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.
What public transport options are nearby?
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.
How does the size compare to other apartments in the area?
At 111 m², this apartment was 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.
Is the neighbourhood safe?
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.
