De Hoogte, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis 1919 apartment on Poortstraat has a lived-in feel, with 82 m² of space and an energy label C. The asking price of €295,000 is in line with the market, the average in the neighbourhood is €298,563, and the median is €265,000. For context, apartments in Groningen vary widely, but this one sits comfortably within the local range.
De Hoogte is a quiet, green neighbourhood where owners and renters live side by side. Based on two reviews, one resident says: "It's a cosy neighbourhood with lots of greenery where owners and renters live on the same street." Another adds: "I've lived here for 12 years, mostly with great pleasure. It's generally a quiet neighbourhood with little nuisance." The area has a strong sense of community, neighbours use a street app to lend things and help each other, and they campaigned together for a greener square. There's a community centre, Edanz, that runs vegetable gardens, a pick-your-own garden, and offers cheap bicycle repairs. The neighbourhood De Hoogte is predominantly rental (only 8% owner-occupied), and many homes have been renovated, though some flats still have issues with mould. Dog poo on the pavement is a minor annoyance.
For daily shopping, the PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Lidl are a couple of streets away. There's no school within the neighbourhood itself, but Openbare Basisschool Karrepad is a ten-minute walk, and secondary schools like Gomarus College Magnolia and CSG Wessel Gansfort are within easy reach. The municipality Groningen has plenty of amenities, but you'll need to head to the next district for a dentist or GP.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Anderz Makelaar Groningen, Funda, and Vastgoed Nederland.

I've lived here for 12 years, mostly with great pleasure. It's generally a quiet neighbourhood with little nuisance. The houses are quite noisy though, so you can hear the neighbours. Especially when they turn up the music, but luckily that's not too often or for long. We have a street app where we lend things and help each other, and sometimes organise things together, which is also nice. And as a whole street we campaigned for a greener square, and that has now happened. There is a supermarket in the neighbourhood and a few shops, but no dentist, GP or school. Those are all in the next district. So that could be better. But there is a community centre, playground and course centre, Edanz, which also organises all sorts of things for the neighbourhood, such as community vegetable gardens and a pick-your-own garden, and offers a healthy meal almost daily for a donation, and cheap bicycle repairs. Volunteers work there, so there is also an opportunity to volunteer for the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy neighbourhood with lots of greenery where owners and renters live on the same street. I feel safe on my street but not in the whole district. Some streets are a bit worse and feel less safe. Many houses have been renovated, but there are also bad houses with mould, especially the flats, and poorer people live there, so there is quite a lot of poverty in this district. Although I do get the impression that it's less bad in our neighbourhood. The gardens are tidy and it looks well-maintained. Unfortunately, there is often dog poo on the pavement. There is no school in my neighbourhood, only in surrounding districts. There are shops and other amenities nearby, but only one in the district and the rest not. We work together to make the street nicer.
