Very beautiful neighbourhood in Groningen. Lots of facilities such as various schools, gym, playgrounds and plenty of supermarkets and other shops. What is unpleasant is that there is often rubbish next to the bins. Furthermore, the neighbourhood has many nice small parks and you are within no time in a quiet natural environment where you can enjoy walking, running, cycling etc. All in all, this neighbourhood is perfect for students but also for families and other city dwellers.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is quite cosy, though sometimes dirty because rubbish isn't put in the bins, so hygiene isn't always great. Lots of students, so sometimes there aren't enough places to park your bike. There isn't really a neighbourhood association or other communities that I'm part of. The area also has a primary school, a university of applied sciences, a nice park, several playgrounds and plenty of other amenities. Definitely a safe neighbourhood, but the houses are very old. All in all, a great place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant neighbours all around, cosy, many amenities in the area, fairly green, people greet each other or have a chat. Annual neighbourhood party. Easily accessible from both sides of the ring road. Safe feeling of living. Both students, elderly and families.
Auto-translated to English by AIA good neighbourhood, but a lot of waste from the Orientals on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood! Often there is rubbish from the shop in the street. Otherwise, it's a fun neighbourhood!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause of the many 'students' and junkies in my complex, I don't feel very safe.. also had a break-in at my previous home and now have very unpleasant neighbours. The housing association does nothing about it

About Oosterhamriklaan 4, Groningen
The asking price is 24% below the neighbourhood average of €372,948, which makes it keen compared to other homes in Professorenbuurt. However, the apartment is also 28% smaller than the average (62 m² vs 86 m²), so the price per square metre is in line with the market. It's a good deal for a compact home in a popular area.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as modern homes. In the neighbourhood, 28.1% of homes have label C, while 29.7% have D or lower, so this is a typical rating for the area.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. Groningen's main station connects to destinations across the Netherlands.
The Professorenbuurt has a mix of students, families, and elderly residents. There are several primary schools within walking distance, playgrounds, and parks. One resident says: "All in all, this neighbourhood is perfect for students but also for families and other city dwellers." However, it can be busy and sometimes messy due to rubbish issues.
Yes, Lidl is just around the corner (598 m), Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away (706 m), and PLUS is about a ten-minute walk (994 m). You'll have plenty of options for daily groceries.
The apartment was built in 1936, so it's a pre-war property. The energy label C suggests it has been updated to some extent, but older homes may require maintenance. In the neighbourhood, 85.5% of homes were built before 1945, so this is typical for the area.
The listing does not mention parking, but the neighbourhood has street parking. One resident notes that there aren't always enough places to park your bike, so car parking may also be limited. You would need to check with the municipality for permits.
