Frequently asked questions
About Rabenhauptstraat 39A, Groningen
Was €369,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €369,000 was above the neighbourhood average of €343,357 and the median of €345,000. However, this apartment is much larger than typical: 146 m² versus an average of 83 m². The price per m² worked out to about €2,527, which was lower than the neighbourhood average of €4,244 per m². So while the total price was high, you get significantly more space for your money.
What is the energy label D like?
Energy label D is an official registration from EP-Online. In the Rivierenbuurt, 13.6% of homes for sale had a label D or lower, while 40.9% had label C and 36.4% had label A. The label itself didn't tell you exactly what needed improvement, but it was a factor to consider in your running costs.
How is the public transport connection?
The nearest train station is 1.1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach other parts of the city or travel further. The neighbourhood is well-connected, and the central station area is being redeveloped, which should improve things further.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
The Rivierenbuurt has a young population, with many residents between 15 and 45 years old. Only 235 households have children, and the average household size is 1.3, so it's not a typical family neighbourhood. There are schools nearby, including a primary school just around the corner, but the area is more popular with students and young professionals.
Are there any green spaces nearby?
A park or public garden is 0.3 km away, so just around the corner. However, one resident review notes that the neighbourhood itself isn't very green, with houses close together. For a larger green area, you might need to go a bit further, but the nearby park offers a quick escape.
How safe is the Rivierenbuurt?
The neighbourhood recorded 220 total crimes in the latest data, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. One resident review mentions drug users and noise, while another praises the location as quiet and cosy. As with any city area, it's mixed, and you may want to visit at different times to get a feel for it.
