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 26, Groningen
The asking price is €395,000, which is above the neighbourhood average of €372,948 and the median of €325,000. However, this apartment is larger (104 m²) than the average (86 m²) and has a good energy label B, which helps justify the premium. In the past year, homes in Professorenbuurt sold for an average of €319,480, so the price is on the high side but reflects the size and efficiency.
The energy label is B, which is efficient. Only about 7.8% of homes in the neighbourhood have label B, while 26.6% have A or better. With label B, you can expect relatively low heating costs compared to older homes, but it's not as efficient as a modern A++++ property.
Professorenbuurt has a mix of students, families and older residents. About 12% of households have children, and there are several primary schools within walking distance, such as De Kleine Wereld (352 m) and IKC Borgman Ebbinge (489 m). Residents mention playgrounds and a safe feeling, though the area is busy and can be a bit dirty at times.
There are several supermarkets within a few minutes' walk: Lidl at 387 m, Albert Heijn at 426 m, Jumbo at 434 m, and Aldi at 434 m. That gives you plenty of choice for daily groceries.
The train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. It's not on your doorstep, but it's easily reachable.
In the most recent data, there were 464 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. That's a relatively high number, but residents in reviews say they feel safe. The area is very urban and busy, which can contribute to higher crime figures.
