Auto-translated to English by AIDon't feel safe. Have been hit by fast bikes several times. In Diamandpark. Vinkhuizen. As a result, my dog now has a limp. When I tell them they should walk there, I get called whore slut and they even spit on you. They are all foreigners, sorry. The neighbourhood is a rubbish dump. They don't give a damn about us. This has to stop.
Auto-translated to English by AIWhen I moved here with my family 14 years ago, I never knew this would become my favourite neighbourhood. I immediately made friends and I enjoy spending time outside. Every summer, activities are organised in our block to maintain and strengthen our bonds. I can say that everyone who knows each other here is cool with one another.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe live in a very nice neighbourhood where the children always play nicely together. All of us neighbours always have cosy barbecues and parties.

Vinkhuizen-Zuid had 292 reported crimes in the latest data, which is moderate for a dense urban area. One resident says: "Fine, it's safe to cycle home in the evening but it's not super either." Overall, the neighbourhood feels safe enough for daily life, but it is not the quietest part of town.
The nearest train station is 2.7 km from the apartment. That is about a 30-minute walk or a short bus ride. It connects you to Groningen city centre and beyond, but you will need a bike or bus to get there comfortably.
Energy label D means the apartment is not the most efficient. You can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home with label A or B. The building dates from 1970, and most homes in the neighbourhood (83%) have label D or lower. It is worth budgeting for energy costs.
