Everything you need is within walking distance." Another notes: "Despite the population density, quiet and pleasant."

Experiences from the neighbourhood
Very good · 5 residents
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 AIDespite the population density, quiet and pleasant
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!!!

Frequently asked questions
About Prinsesseweg 63A, Groningen
Is €325,000 a fair price for this apartment?
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.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?
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.
