Auto-translated to English by AIIt's getting worse and worse here. I've been living here for 6 years now, but more foreigners are moving in. Two weeks ago, there was a shooting less than 25 metres from the apartment block. Sad.
Auto-translated to English by AISo many foreigners live here and there are so many shootings in this neighbourhood, my child cannot walk around safely, that's why Selwerd looks like a little Turkey.

About Populierenlaan 105, Groningen
The asking price of €260,000 is 19% below the average asking price in Selwerd (€319,175) and also below the median of €292,250. Given the 93 m² floor area, the price per m² works out at about €2,796, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €3,335 per m². So it appears priced for the area.
The apartment has energy label C. This is a decent rating, meaning the home is reasonably energy-efficient. In Selwerd, about 32% of homes have label C, while another 32% have D or lower, so this home is in the middle of the pack. You can expect moderate energy costs.
The nearest train station is 1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to the city centre or further afield.
Selwerd has a mix of residents, but only about 19% of households have children. The area has several schools within walking distance, including a primary school just 546 m away. There are also parks nearby. However, the neighbourhood is densely populated and has a large student population, so it may not be the quietest family suburb.
In the past period, sold homes in Selwerd took an average of 30 days to sell. This suggests a fairly active market, though not extremely fast. The current listing is priced below average, which may attract interest.
A Lidl supermarket is just 341 m away, and an Albert Heijn is 461 m away, both within a five-minute walk. A PLUS is also within walking distance at 672 m. So daily groceries are very convenient.
