NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Oliemuldersweg 12 sits in a lively part of Groningen, where the streets are lined with a mix of social housing and owner-occupied homes. At 89 m², it is 35% larger than the average home in the neighbourhood, and with an A+++ energy label it is exceptionally efficient.

Oliemuldersweg 12, Groningen
Good · 2 residents
Everyone is helpful to each other. We are there for each other and if someone needs something, there are more than enough people willing to help. On the other hand, for families it is so difficult to get a family home with a small garden and own front door. There are far too few terraced houses that consist of just an average single-family home with 2 floors. That makes expanding the family terribly difficult. In terms of education, unfortunately I don't hear many good things within my circle of acquaintances. More attention should be paid to the interaction between teacher and student. And communication with parents could definitely be better. My daughter attends a playgroup and so far I only have good things to say about that, fortunately. Furthermore, one-on-one attention could help students. Moreover, I think that students in secondary schools should learn about the Second World War. It is an important part of our history.

About Oliemuldersweg 12, Groningen
The asking price of €575,000 is 120% above the neighbourhood average of €260,870. However, this apartment is 35% larger than the average home in the Bloemenbuurt (89 m² vs 66 m²) and has an exceptional A+++ energy label, which is rare in the area. Homes here sell quickly, typically within 16 days, indicating strong demand. Whether the price is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and energy efficiency.
The apartment has an A+++ energy label, which is the highest possible rating. This means it is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. In the Bloemenbuurt, none of the current for-sale homes have an A+ label or better, so this apartment stands out. The year of construction is 1967, but the label suggests it has been thoroughly modernised.
Residents describe the Bloemenbuurt as cosy and diverse, with a mix of social housing and owner-occupied homes. Neighbours are helpful and look out for each other. However, family homes with gardens are hard to find, which can make it challenging for families to stay in the area. The neighbourhood has a young population, many singles, and a high address density, giving it an urban feel.
The train station is 2.6 km from the apartment, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. The neighbourhood is well-connected by bike, and the city centre is easily reachable.

Homes in the Bloemenbuurt sell quickly, with an average time on the market of 16 days. This suggests a fast-moving market where desirable properties don't stay available for long. The neighbourhood has a limited supply of for-sale homes (23 at the time of writing), which contributes to the pace.
The Bloemenbuurt has 2,775 residents, with a high proportion of single-person households (1,205 out of 1,845 households). The largest age group is 25 to 45 years old (1,105 residents), followed by 45 to 65 (700). There are 325 households with children.
