Oranjebuurt, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis 1926 apartment on Nassaulaan sits in the heart of Groningen's Oranjebuurt, a quiet but lively neighbourhood. With 114 m² of space and an energy label D, it's a solid home that needs a bit of attention on heating costs. At €425,000, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €407,857, but it's a larger-than-average unit. For context, apartments in Groningen vary widely in price and size.
Residents give the Oranjebuurt an 8.27 out of 10. One says: "It's very quiet, yet there's always something going on. Everything you need is within walking distance." Another notes: "Despite the population density, quiet and pleasant." A third resident mentions a strong sense of community: "People looked out for and helped each other... we have a neighbourhood association with many connecting activities." The neighbourhood Oranjebuurt is densely populated (5,728 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of single-person households, with many young adults and a mix of ages. It's a very urban setting, yet the reviews highlight peace and green spaces.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and PLUS is a couple of streets away. The Nassauschool is on your doorstep for primary education, and several other schools are within a ten-minute walk. A park or public garden is just around the corner, perfect for a summer sit-down.

It's the first time I live in the city, so it took some getting used to, but the neighbourhood immediately feels like coming home. It's very quiet, yet there's always something going on. Everything you need is within walking distance, so you never have to stress if you need something. A nice little park right on your doorstep, where you can sit comfortably and enjoyably (especially in summer).

Auto-translated to English by AIIt was a very social neighbourhood. People looked out for and helped each other. That hasn't completely disappeared, but due to many new residents who prefer to keep to themselves, the sense of community is diminishing. However, we do have a neighbourhood association including a building with many connecting activities for everyone. A beautiful pond with a playground that are well maintained and heavily used. People here generally have a green heart, so you won't find any tiled paradises like in Vinkhuizen, allowing animals such as hedgehogs, birds, and insects to live here too. Orange neighbourhood is my neighbourhood!!!

About Nassaulaan 22A, Groningen
The asking price of €425,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €407,857 and the median of €360,000. However, this apartment is larger (114 m²) than the average sold home (92 m²), so the price per m² (€3,728) is actually below the neighbourhood average of €4,477 per m². It's priced keenly for its size.
The energy label is D. In the Oranjebuurt, 25% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a 1926 building. Label D means moderate efficiency; heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but it's not the worst. You can expect to spend more on energy than in a label A or B home.
Residents love it: quiet yet lively, with everything within walking distance. A Jumbo supermarket is 324 m away, a PLUS is 432 m, and there are several primary schools nearby, including the Nassauschool at 154 m. A park is just 300 m away. The train station is 1.7 km, so a 20-minute walk or short cycle.
