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

About Korreweg 79A, Groningen
The asking price of €295,000 is 21% below the neighbourhood average of €372,948, which makes it a keen price for a 79 m² apartment in the Professorenbuurt. The median price in the area is €325,000, so this home is priced to attract attention. However, the final sale price will depend on demand and the condition of the property.
The home has an energy label C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. In the neighbourhood, 28.1% of homes have label C, while 29.7% have a lower rating (D or below). Label C means reasonable energy efficiency, but you can expect moderate heating costs. The home was built in 1930, so insulation may not be as good as in newer builds.
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 the city or further afield.
The Professorenbuurt is a mixed neighbourhood with students, families and elderly residents. Reviews mention a primary school, playgrounds and a safe feeling. However, the area has many one-person households (3,305 out of 4,610 households) and only 415 households with children, so it's not a typical family suburb. The nearby parks and amenities make it workable for families who enjoy an urban setting.
Residents note that rubbish is sometimes left next to bins, which can affect cleanliness. The area is also busy with students, so bike parking can be tight. The houses are old (85.5% built before 1945), which may mean maintenance issues. On the plus side, the neighbourhood is safe and friendly.
The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €4,698, while this home works out at about €3,734 per m² (€295,000 / 79 m²). That's significantly lower, partly because the asking price is below the neighbourhood average. For context, the average apartment in Groningen may cost more, but this is a specific deal in the Professorenbuurt.
