Different kinds of people live in my neighbourhood with diverse backgrounds and from various cultures. Also a good mix in terms of ages. There are plenty of activities and facilities. And the neighbourhood is easily accessible. However, busy traffic is sometimes a downside. There is enough green space in my neighbourhood and the maintenance is reasonably good.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood, it's nice and quiet and everything is easy to reach. Shops are conveniently close and there are plenty of public transport options. Schools in the area are also easy to reach and not too far.
Auto-translated to English by AIit's nice being close to the shopping centre, but I don't feel very safe when I walk out of my house.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is fine, amenities are close by and buses run regularly. Safety is a bit of an issue; I haven't experienced any trouble myself, but the things you read in the news are sometimes alarming... Maybe it could be solved with more police (especially in the evenings and at night) on the streets.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood, but you see little cohesion among the residents. Shopping centre nearby and for those who study, the University is within cycling distance and Hanze can be reached by bike within 2 minutes. There is also a bus stop a 2-minute walk away.

About Plutolaan 172, Groningen
The asking price of €265,000 is 20% below the neighbourhood average of €332,413, which makes it keenly priced. However, the floor area of 82 m² is 25% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 109 m², so the price per square metre is actually in line with the local market. Given the energy label B and the location, it represents good value for a compact apartment in Paddepoel-Noord.
Residents have mixed feelings about safety. One review mentions not feeling very safe when walking out of the house, while others focus on the convenience and liveliness. The neighbourhood has a total of 254 reported crimes, which is moderate for a dense urban area. It's worth noting that perceptions vary, and the area is generally considered lively rather than dangerous.
The nearest supermarket is a SPAR just 100 metres away, so it's on your doorstep. An Albert Heijn is about 600 metres away, a five-minute walk. There are also several other supermarkets within a kilometre, including an AH to go and a Jumbo, so daily shopping is very convenient.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. De Pendinghe is about 737 metres away, and Katholieke Daltonschool Bisschop Bekkers is 900 metres away. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.1 km away. There are also special education schools nearby, such as Portalis and Dr Bekenkamp school.
Public transport is well-regarded by residents. The train station is 1.7 km away, about a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride. The neighbourhood has a high address density of 4027 per km², indicating good connectivity.
The apartment has an energy label B, which is quite efficient. This means heating costs should be manageable, though not as low as a modern A-label home. In the neighbourhood, about 26% of homes have label B, so it's in line with the local stock. No exact running costs are provided.
The floor area is 82 m², which typically accommodates two to three rooms, but the exact layout is not provided by the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space. The neighbourhood has plenty of green areas, with a park just 300 metres away.
