Selwerd, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis 1967 apartment on Populierenlaan sits in a lively part of Selwerd, a neighbourhood with a strong student presence and plenty of everyday bustle. At 66 m² it's compact, and with an E energy label you can expect higher heating costs. The asking price of €235,000 is 26% below the neighbourhood average of €319,175, which makes it a keen option for a first-time buyer or investor. For context, apartments in Groningen vary widely in price and size.
Selwerd is a dense, very strongly urban area (4,277 addresses per km²) with a young population: a third of residents are between 15 and 25. One resident describes it as a "Beautiful neighbourhood close to the city", while another calls it "Cosy living in a flat" and notes the shopping centre opposite keeps things lively. A third review is more neutral, saying "No cohesion." Based on six reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.24 out of 10. The neighbourhood Selwerd has a high proportion of single-person households and relatively few families with children.
For daily shopping, the Lidl is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are several schools within walking distance: primary school De Wegwijzer is a five-minute walk, and secondary schools like Gomarus College Magnolia are similarly close. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and a park or public garden is on your doorstep. The municipality Groningen offers a wide range of amenities, with restaurants and a library also nearby.

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 27, Groningen
The asking price is 26% below the average asking price in Selwerd (€319,175), but the flat is also smaller than average (66 m² vs 98 m²). Given the E energy label and the compact size, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a flat of this type in this neighbourhood.
The energy label is E. That means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. In Selwerd, about 32% of homes have a label of D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
Selwerd has a large student population: about a third of residents are between 15 and 25, and many households are single-person. The shopping centre opposite the flat keeps things lively, and the city centre is easily reachable by bike or public transport.
The Lidl is just around the corner (246 m), and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away (389 m). Primary school De Wegwijzer is a five-minute walk (526 m), and secondary schools like Gomarus College Magnolia are also within walking distance (475 m).
The train station is 1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting to the city centre or further afield.
With a price below the neighbourhood average and a compact size, it could appeal to investors looking for a lower entry point. The high proportion of single-person households and students in Selwerd suggests steady rental demand. However, the E label means higher running costs, which may affect net returns.
