It's the first time I live in the city, so it took some getting used to, but the neighbourhood immediately feels like coming home. It's very quiet, yet there's always something going on. Everything you need is within walking distance, so you never have to stress if you need something. A nice little park right on your doorstep, where you can sit comfortably and enjoyably (especially in summer).

Auto-translated to English by AIIt was a very social neighbourhood. People looked out for and helped each other. That hasn't completely disappeared, but due to many new residents who prefer to keep to themselves, the sense of community is diminishing. However, we do have a neighbourhood association including a building with many connecting activities for everyone. A beautiful pond with a playground that are well maintained and heavily used. People here generally have a green heart, so you won't find any tiled paradises like in Vinkhuizen, allowing animals such as hedgehogs, birds, and insects to live here too. Orange neighbourhood is my neighbourhood!!!

About Prinsesseweg 63A, Groningen
The asking price of €325,000 is about 20% below the neighbourhood average of €407,857, which makes it look keen. But the apartment has an energy label D, while most homes for sale in the Oranjebuurt have better labels. The average price per m² in the area is €4,477, so at €3,571 per m² this home is below that too. It's a market-rate price for a 91 m² apartment in a popular neighbourhood.
The energy label is D. That means the home is not very energy-efficient compared to modern standards. In the Oranjebuurt, 25% of homes for sale have label D or lower, while 31% have label A or better. You can expect higher heating costs than in a more efficient home, but the lower purchase price partly compensates.
