There's no WOZ value available for this property, so we can't compare it to the asking price or see how it's developed over the years. As for the address, there are some risk indications to note. The noise level from road traffic is 70 dB Lden, which is above the norm, while rail and air traffic are below. The foundation risk is elevated, as this area was built on clay soil in 1928, and the ground water level is expected to drop by 2050. These are area-level indications, not an inspection of this specific home. Pluvial flooding risk is elevated, but flood risk from rivers is low, both now and in 2050.

About J.C. Kapteynlaan 4B, Groningen
The asking price is €348,000. With a living area of 103 m², that works out to €3,379 per m². In the Professorenbuurt, the average asking price for homes currently on the market is €384,141, with a median of €345,000. So this apartment is priced in line with the local market.
The energy label is C. This means the home is not the most efficient, but it's not the worst either. You can expect moderate energy costs, but the label doesn't tell you about the actual insulation or heating system. It's a general indication of energy performance.
The WOZ is the municipal valuation, which is used for taxes, but it's not provided here. Without it, we can't compare the asking price to the official valuation or see how it has changed over the years.
The foundation risk indication is elevated. This is based on area-level data: the home was built in 1928 on clay soil, and the ground water level is expected to drop by 2050, which can increase risk for wooden foundations. However, this is not an inspection of this specific property, just an indication for the area.
The noise level from road traffic is 70 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch norm. Rail traffic is 30 dB Lden and air traffic is 18 dB Lden, both below the norm. These are area-level indications, so actual noise may vary depending on your exact location and the building's insulation.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
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
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's quite a nice neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIThe vast majority is beautiful 1930s architecture, mostly well-maintained buildings. You'll find a diverse crowd here. Students, families and first-time buyers live happily together in this neighbourhood full of amenities (supermarkets, playgrounds, gyms, parks).

Auto-translated to English by AII haven't lived here very long, but I'm especially a fan of the green surroundings and walking routes. I was also surprised that people from my block like to chat and know each other reasonably well. On the street I don't always feel very safe, because there are relatively many people with (visible) mental health and/or drug problems. Yet after living here for a short time, I noticed that I need to worry less than I thought and most people are very friendly here. I am less of a fan of the amenities here; only the Plus supermarket is in the neighbourhood, but that's not necessarily very affordable for everyone. Furthermore, there isn't much within walking distance. I also notice that, for example, on my street there is quite a lot of litter (now also a lot of old fireworks) and the gardens are generally not maintained. This could certainly be improved (:
Auto-translated to English by AInice park, close to the centre, two supermarkets nearby, also two hairdressers, community centre with many activities and cheap lunch/dinner around the corner. Second-hand clothing shop, flower shop and a few other shops, including two cafeterias, a pizza delivery, in short plenty of amenities. And also just over 5 minutes by bike from the centre.
