A cosy apartment in Selwerd

This apartment on Populierenlaan sits in a lively part of Groningen, with the city centre just a short bike ride away. This listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €249,000, the asking price is 20% below the neighbourhood average of €311,500, which is keen compared to other apartments in Groningen.

The Selwerd neighbourhood

Selwerd is a mixed neighbourhood with a strong urban feel, the address density is high, and many residents live alone. Based on three reviews, opinions vary. One resident says: "There is a shopping centre opposite here so I always have something to see and never get bored." Another describes it as "Beautiful neighbourhood close to the city." A third is more neutral: "No cohesion." The area has a high proportion of flats, and most homes were built between 1945 and 1970. For more context, see the Selwerd neighbourhood.

Life on the street

Daily errands are easy: a Lidl is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. For primary education, De Wegwijzer is a couple of streets away, while secondary schools like Gomarus College Magnolia and Kamerlingh Onnes are within a ten-minute walk. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and the train station is a ten-minute walk. The area falls under the municipality of Groningen.

getting worse and worse

It'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.

Little Turkey

So 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.

Frequently asked questions

About Populierenlaan 21, Groningen

Is €249,000 a fair price for this apartment?

The asking price of €249,000 is 20% below the average asking price in Selwerd (€311,500) and also below the median of €295,000. Given the floor area of 76 m², the price per m² works out to about €3,276, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €3,382 per m². So the price is on the keen side compared to other homes currently for sale in the area.

What is the neighbourhood like?

Selwerd is a densely populated urban neighbourhood with a high proportion of single-person households. It has a mix of ages, with many students and young adults. Residents appreciate the proximity to the city centre and the shopping centre opposite the flat. Some note a lack of social cohesion, but overall it is considered a convenient and lively area.

How far is the city centre?

The city centre of Groningen is about 1.5 km away, which is roughly a 15-minute walk or a 5-minute bike ride. The neighbourhood itself has a shopping centre with a Lidl and other amenities, so you don't need to go into the centre for daily groceries.

What is the public transport like?

The nearest train station is 1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The high address density means public transport connections are generally good.

What schools are nearby?

Primary school De Wegwijzer is about 500 m away, a five-minute walk. For secondary education, Gomarus College Magnolia and Kamerlingh Onnes are both within 600 m, also a short walk. There are several other schools within a 1 km radius.

Why is there no energy label in the listing?

The agent has not provided this information, so it is unknown. Most homes in Selwerd were built between 1945 and 1970, and about 31% have a label D or lower, but this does not apply to this specific apartment.
