The neighbourhood isn't really green. There are many houses close together, despite that it is a relatively accessible neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's close and just far enough from the centre that you're in a quiet, cosy neighbourhood, but you can easily find the bustling centre within 5 minutes. This will only get better when the new station is finished.
Auto-translated to English by AIStation nearby, pub/terrace nearby, supermarket within walking distance and city centre also 5 minutes by bike. But the street is busy with traffic. Other than that, there are many students/young professionals living here, so there's almost never any trouble with crime (once a man was in our garden stealing empty crates of beer), but there can be some noise nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood to live in! Within walking distance of the city and yet green spaces nearby. Pleasant to live in both as a student and as parents with young children!
Auto-translated to English by AIthis is a very nice neighbourhood to live in. everything is within walking distance and cafe de klikspaan in the middle of the neighbourhood is a nice meeting point. the plus is also a nice shop.

About Parkweg 22A, Groningen
The asking price is 19% above the neighbourhood average of €332,820, but the apartment is also 51% larger than the average (121 m² vs 80 m²). The price per m² works out to about €3,264, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,214 per m². So while the total price is high, you're getting more space for your money.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home built in 1937. In the neighbourhood, about 35% of homes have label C, and another 35% have label A. Label C means reasonable efficiency, but you can expect moderate heating costs. The home is not as efficient as a modern A-label property.
