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 Petrus Driessenstraat 14, Groningen
The asking price of €300,000 is 20% below the neighbourhood average of €372,948, and also below the median of €325,000. Given the 70 m² floor area, the price per m² comes to about €4,286, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €4,698. This suggests the home is priced keenly compared to other properties in Professorenbuurt.
The home has energy label C. This is a mid-range label, meaning the property has reasonable insulation but is not as efficient as modern builds. In the neighbourhood, 28.1% of homes have label C, while 29.7% have a lower rating (D or worse). You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme.
Professorenbuurt is a mix of students and families, as reflected in the reviews. One resident calls it "perfect for students but also for families and other city dwellers." Another mentions it's "a busy neighbourhood full of families and students." The area has several playgrounds, a primary school, and a university of applied sciences nearby.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle.
Residents generally feel safe. One review says "definitely a safe neighbourhood," while another notes "safe feeling of living." The total number of recorded crimes in the area is 464, but without a per-capita comparison, it's hard to judge. The neighbourhood has a youthful, friendly atmosphere according to multiple reviews.
The apartment was built in 1929, so it has pre-war character. The energy label C suggests some modernisation, but the exact condition of the interior is not detailed in the listing. The neighbourhood has 85.5% of homes built before 1945, so older construction is typical here.
Several reviews mention that rubbish is often left next to bins, which can affect cleanliness. Also, due to the high number of students, bike parking can be scarce at times. The houses are old, so maintenance may be needed. However, the community spirit and amenities are strong positives.
