It is a social neighbourhood of students, young people, families and many single people. People greet each other easily. With the many pubs it is lively, little going on. I experience it as a social neighbourhood where people are there for each other and easily strike up a conversation. I feel safe here in the neighbourhood and don't mind taking a walk in the evening. Many shops, GPs, pharmacy, supermarket, hairdressers and dining options. Also very nice that there are children living in the area and the community centre is always nice to stay with many activities.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy and, in my opinion, fairly safe neighbourhood. I've never felt uncomfortable, at least. Not during the day or late at night. I don't experience much nuisance and am otherwise very happy with the place where I live.

Auto-translated to English by AIOosterpoort is a nice neighbourhood, lately there have been some strange people hanging around, but nothing to worry about. It's relatively far from the city and we're a bit in our own village in Groningen. But then you're still in the centre in 5 minutes, mate.

About Jan Goeverneurstraat 13, Groningen
The asking price of €225,000 is 30% below the average asking price in Oosterpoort (€323,611) and also below the median of €270,000. However, the flat is smaller than average at 45 m². Given the price per m² (€5,000) versus the neighbourhood average of €4,470, it is priced slightly above the m² average but still represents a relatively affordable entry into the area.
The home has energy label D. That is a middle-of-the-road rating: heating and electricity costs will be moderate but not as low as with an A or B label. In Oosterpoort, 48% of homes have label C and 31% have D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
The nearest train station is 1.0 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting to Groningen city centre or further afield.
Residents generally feel safe. One review says: "I feel safe here in the neighbourhood and don't mind taking a walk in the evening." Another notes: "I've never felt uncomfortable, at least. Not during the day or late at night." The total number of reported crimes in the area is 259, but given the dense population, this is not unusually high.
Yes, the PLUS supermarket is just 85 metres away, so daily shopping is very convenient. There are also Albert Heijn and Jumbo within a ten-minute walk. The nearest primary school, IKC Borgman Oosterpoort, is 170 metres away, and secondary schools are about 1 km away.
With 45 m², it is likely a one-bedroom or studio apartment, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
