Rivierenbuurt, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis 1937 apartment on the Lingestraat sits in a lively part of Groningen's Oud-Zuid district. With 75 m² of living space and an energy label D, it's a solid, characterful home. The asking price of €345,000 is in line with the market, the average for apartments in Groningen sits around €332,000, so this one is keenly priced for its size.
The Rivierenbuurt is a dense, urban area with a young population, lots of students and singles, and few families. One resident calls it a 'top location': "It's close and just far enough from the centre that you're in a quiet, cosy neighbourhood, but you can easily find the bustling centre within 5 minutes." Another notes the downsides: "Many drug users, many dogs pooping on the street, a lot of noise." A third says the area isn't very green but is accessible. Based on six reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.84 out of 10. For more context, see the Rivierenbuurt neighbourhood.
Daily errands are easy: a PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, and an Aldi is a couple of streets away. For bread or a quick bite, an AH to go is a five-minute walk. Schools are close too, Parcival College (secondary) is a couple of streets away, and De Vrije School Groningen (primary) is just around the corner. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre is within easy reach. The municipality of Groningen manages the area; find out more about the municipality of Groningen.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Reinders Makelaars en Adviseurs.

The neighbourhood isn't really green. There are many houses close together, despite that it is a relatively accessible neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's close and just far enough from the centre that you're in a quiet, cosy neighbourhood, but you can easily find the bustling centre within 5 minutes. This will only get better when the new station is finished.
Auto-translated to English by AIStation nearby, pub/terrace nearby, supermarket within walking distance and city centre also 5 minutes by bike. But the street is busy with traffic. Other than that, there are many students/young professionals living here, so there's almost never any trouble with crime (once a man was in our garden stealing empty crates of beer), but there can be some noise nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood to live in! Within walking distance of the city and yet green spaces nearby. Pleasant to live in both as a student and as parents with young children!
Auto-translated to English by AIthis is a very nice neighbourhood to live in. everything is within walking distance and cafe de klikspaan in the middle of the neighbourhood is a nice meeting point. the plus is also a nice shop.

About Lingestraat 12, Groningen
The asking price of €345,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €332,820 for apartments, but the median is €325,000. Given the 75 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to €4,600, which is a bit higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,214 per m². So it's on the high side, but not unreasonably so for a well-located pre-war apartment.
The energy label is D. In the Rivierenbuurt, about 23% of homes have a label D or lower, while 35% have label A. A D label means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs will be moderate to high. It's worth noting that most of the available homes in the neighbourhood have a better energy label.
The train station is 1.1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting or trips to other cities.
The neighbourhood has a young, urban vibe. Most households are single-person (about 54%), and the average household size is just 1.3. There are few families with children. Residents mention both positives, proximity to the centre and a cosy feel, and negatives, such as noise and some nuisance from drug users.
The neighbourhood recorded 220 total crimes in the latest data. That's a moderate number for a dense urban area. Some residents mention issues with drug users and dog mess on the streets, so it's not the quietest or cleanest area, but many appreciate the lively atmosphere.
There are several supermarkets within walking distance: a PLUS at 300 m, an Aldi at 320 m, and an AH to go at 467 m. For daily shopping, you're well covered. Restaurants are just 200 m away, and a park or green space is 300 m from the door.
The apartment was built in 1937, so it's a pre-war property with character. The energy label D suggests the insulation and heating system are not modern, but the home is likely solidly built. The exact condition isn't stated in the listing, so a viewing would be needed to assess maintenance.
