Selwerd, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis 1964 apartment on Moesstraat is a typical piece of Selwerd, a neighbourhood built up in the post-war decades. At 72 m² it's compact, and with an energy label D you can expect moderate heating costs. The asking price of €225,000 is noticeably below the neighbourhood average of €319,175, partly because the home is smaller than the norm, but it still represents a keen entry point into Groningen's owner-occupied market. For context, apartments in Groningen vary widely in price and size.

One resident says: "There is a shopping centre opposite here so I always have something to see and never get bored." Another notes: "Beautiful neighbourhood close to the city." A third is more neutral: "No cohesion." The neighbourhood Selwerd has a mix of housing, though 90% of homes were built between 1945 and 1970.
Daily errands are easy here. A large supermarket, Albert Heijn, is just around the corner, and a Lidl is a couple of streets away.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's getting worse and worse here. I've been living here for 6 years now, but more foreigners are moving in. Two weeks ago, there was a shooting less than 25 metres from the apartment block. Sad.
Auto-translated to English by AISo many foreigners live here and there are so many shootings in this neighbourhood, my child cannot walk around safely, that's why Selwerd looks like a little Turkey.
