Frequently asked questions
About Korreweg 188A, Groningen
Was €400,000 a fair price for this apartment?
At €400,000, the asking price was above the neighbourhood median of €340,000 and the average sale price of €314,523. However, the price per m² (€8,163) was higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,571 per m², partly because this was a smaller unit. The market in Indische buurt is active, with 107 homes sold recently, taking an average of 29 days to sell.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is F, which is low efficiency. This meant heating and electricity costs were likely to be higher than in a more modern home. In the neighbourhood, 38% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's something to budget for.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 1.3 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting or trips to the city centre.
What is the neighbourhood like?
Indische buurt is a dense, pre-war neighbourhood with a mix of residents. It's very urban (address density 5,189 per km²) and has many single-person households. Reviews are mixed: some residents love the diversity and safety, while one finds it deprived. The average review score is 7.87 out of 10.

What supermarkets are close by?
Albert Heijn is just 201 m away, around the corner. Lidl, Jumbo and Aldi are all within about 500 m, so daily groceries are very convenient.
