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 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 57, Groningen
The asking price of €350,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €372,948 and close to the median of €325,000. Given the 100 m² floor area, the price per m² works out at €3,500, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €4,698 per m². This suggests the apartment is priced keenly compared to other homes in the Professorenbuurt.
The apartment has energy label C. This is a middle-of-the-road rating, meaning the home is reasonably efficient but not as well insulated as newer builds. You can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, about 28% of homes have label C, while a similar share have labels D or lower.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. This makes it convenient for commuting to other parts of Groningen or beyond.

Some residents mention that rubbish is sometimes left next to bins, which can affect cleanliness. Also, with many students, bike parking can be tight. The houses are generally old, so maintenance may be needed. Overall, though, the neighbourhood is considered safe and friendly.
