Helpman, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Moddermanlaan sits in the leafy, established neighbourhood of Helpman, just south of the city centre. With 83 m² of living space and an energy label D, it's a solid, no-nonsense home from 1956. The asking price of €295,000 is 18% below the neighbourhood average of €360,805, making it a keen entry into the Groningen housing market. For context, apartments in Groningen vary widely, but this one is priced to move.
Helpman is a mature, green neighbourhood with a mix of pre-war and post-war housing. One resident describes it as "mostly every man for himself, with occasional attempts to build a community" and notes having "almost no contact with neighbours." The same resident appreciates that "three supermarkets within walking distance" and other amenities are nearby, though the 15-minute bike ride to the city centre is "a shame." The area is densely populated (3,364 addresses per km²) and very urban, with many single-person households. Neighbourhood Helpman has a calm, residential feel despite its central location.
For daily errands, you have Albert Heijn just around the corner and another Albert Heijn plus Lidl a couple of streets away. Schools are also close: the Montessori Vaklyceum (secondary) is a five-minute walk, and the Joseph Haydn-School (primary) is about the same distance. The neighbourhood has a good mix of young and old, with many students and professionals. Municipality Groningen offers plenty of cultural and recreational options, but you'll need a bike or car to reach the centre quickly.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Solide Vastgoed Makelaars and appears on multiple channels. The energy label D is less efficient than most of the current supply in Helpman, where over 60% of homes have label C or better.

I have almost no contact with neighbours. There are three supermarkets within walking distance. Other amenities are also nearby. To get to the city centre, it's always a 15-minute bike ride, which is a shame.

About Moddermanlaan 35, Groningen
The asking price is 18% below the average asking price in Helpman (€360,805) and also below the median of €339,500. Given that similar apartments in the neighbourhood sell for around €320,581 on average, this listing is priced keenly. However, the energy label D is less efficient than most homes currently for sale in the area, which may factor into running costs.
The energy label is D. In Helpman, 22.2% of homes have label D or lower, while 37.8% have label C and 26.6% have A or better. A D label means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating and electricity costs are likely to be higher than in a modern home. You may want to consider potential improvements.
The city centre is about a 15-minute bike ride away, according to a resident. The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. Public transport options are not detailed in the listing, but the area is well-connected by bus.
Based on one resident review, contact with neighbours is minimal: "mostly every man for himself, with occasional attempts to build a community." The neighbourhood has many single-person households (2,675 out of 4,055 households), so it's not a tight-knit community. If you value privacy, that may suit you.
There are three supermarkets within walking distance: Albert Heijn at 357 m, another Albert Heijn at 682 m, and Lidl at 682 m. A Poiesz is at 823 m and a Jumbo at 1.1 km. So daily groceries are easily done on foot.
Several schools are within a short walk. The Montessori Vaklyceum (secondary) is 551 m away, and the Joseph Haydn-School (primary) is 640 m away. There are also other primary and secondary schools nearby, making it convenient for families with children.
The total number of recorded crimes in Helpman is 236, but without a per-capita figure or context, it's hard to judge. The area is densely populated and urban, which can correlate with higher crime rates. You may want to check local crime statistics for more detail.
