Frequently asked questions
About Jan Goeverneurstraat 13, Groningen
Was €225,000 a fair price for this flat?
The asking price of €225,000 was 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 was priced slightly above the m² average but at the time represented a relatively affordable entry into the area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has energy label D. That was a middle-of-the-road rating: heating and electricity costs would 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.
How far is the train station?
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.
What is the neighbourhood like for safety?
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.
Are there shops and schools nearby?
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.
