Professorenbuurt, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Petrus Driessenstraat sits in the lively Professorenbuurt, a neighbourhood that blends student energy with family life. At 60 m² it's compact, 30% smaller than the average home in the area, and priced at €325,000, which is exactly the median for the neighbourhood. Compared to other apartments in Groningen, the price per m² is in line with the market.
The neighbourhood Professorenbuurt scores a 7.6 out of 10 from residents, who describe it as 'the neighbourhood that has everything'. One resident says: 'Very beautiful neighbourhood in Groningen. Lots of facilities such as various schools, gym, playgrounds and plenty of supermarkets and other shops.' Another notes: 'Pleasant neighbours all around, cosy, many amenities in the area, fairly green, people greet each other or have a chat. Annual neighbourhood party.' The area is densely populated with many students and young adults, and the streets are safe but can be a bit untidy around the bins.
For your morning bread, Jumbo and Aldi are just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including De Kleine Wereld and IKC Borgman Ebbinge. The municipality Groningen has a strong urban feel, with a park or public garden on your doorstep and a train station a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Plan Makelaars, Vastgoed Nederland and Funda.

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 42, Groningen
The asking price of €325,000 is exactly the median for homes currently for sale in Professorenbuurt. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €4,698, and this apartment works out to about €5,417 per m², slightly above average, but the home has an energy label C and a classic 1929 character. Given the compact size, the price is in line with the market.
The apartment has energy label C, which is average for a home of this age. In the neighbourhood, about 28% of homes have label C, while 30% have a lower rating. Label C means reasonable efficiency, but heating costs will be moderate, not as low as a modern A-label, but better than many older homes in the area.
Professorenbuurt is mixed: many students and young adults, but also families with children. One resident says it's 'perfect for students but also for families and other city dwellers.' There are several primary schools within walking distance, playgrounds, and a park just around the corner. The neighbourhood feels safe, though some note it can be a bit untidy around the bins.
You have supermarkets (Jumbo, Aldi, Albert Heijn) within a five-minute walk, several primary schools and a secondary school (Praedinius Gymnasium) within ten minutes on foot. A park is on your doorstep, and the train station is about 1.7 km away, a 20-minute walk or short cycle. Restaurants and a GP are also close by.
At 60 m², this apartment is 30% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 86 m². That makes it a compact option, typical of older apartments in the area. The average sold price per m² in the neighbourhood is €3,715, but this home's price per m² is higher due to its central location and classic features.
Given the size and price, this apartment is likely to appeal to singles, couples, or students looking for a pied-à-terre. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of one-person households (over 50%) and a large 15-25 age group. It's less suited to large families due to the compact floor plan.
