Rivierenbuurt, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Rabenhauptstraat 39A sits in the Rivierenbuurt, a lively part of Groningen's Oud-Zuid district. With 146 m² of living space, it's a generous home in a neighbourhood where apartments tend to be smaller. The year of construction is 1877, giving it a classic feel. The asking price of €369,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €343,357, but the size is exceptional. For context, you can see other apartments in Groningen.
Based on six reviews, residents have mixed feelings. One says: "The neighbourhood isn't really green. There are many houses close together, despite that it is a relatively accessible neighbourhood." Another calls it a "Top location" and adds: "It's close and just far enough from the centre that you're in a quiet, cosy neighbourhood, but you can easily find the bustling centre within 5 minutes." A less positive review mentions "Many drug users, many dogs pooping on the street, a lot of noise." The area is densely populated (address density 4374), with many single-person households and a young population. For more context, explore the Rivierenbuurt neighbourhood.

The asking price of €369,000 is 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 works out to about €2,527, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €4,244 per m². So while the total price is high, you get significantly more space for your money.
Energy label D is an official registration from EP-Online. It means the home is not among the most efficient, so you can expect moderate energy costs. In the Rivierenbuurt, 13.6% of homes for sale have a label D or lower, while 40.9% have label C and 36.4% have label A. The label itself doesn't tell you exactly what needs improvement, but it's a factor to consider in your running costs.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Auto-translated to English by AIMany drug users, many dogs pooping on the street, a lot of noise
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's close and just far enough from the centre that you're in a quiet, cosy neighbourhood, but you can easily find the bustling centre within 5 minutes. This will only get better when the new station is finished.
Auto-translated to English by AIStation nearby, pub/terrace nearby, supermarket within walking distance and city centre also 5 minutes by bike. But the street is busy with traffic. Other than that, there are many students/young professionals living here, so there's almost never any trouble with crime (once a man was in our garden stealing empty crates of beer), but there can be some noise nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood to live in! Within walking distance of the city and yet green spaces nearby. Pleasant to live in both as a student and as parents with young children!
Auto-translated to English by AIthis is a very nice neighbourhood to live in. everything is within walking distance and cafe de klikspaan in the middle of the neighbourhood is a nice meeting point. the plus is also a nice shop.

How residents experience their district

Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a social neighbourhood of students, young people, families and many single people. People greet each other easily. With the many pubs it is lively, little going on. I experience it as a social neighbourhood where people are there for each other and easily strike up a conversation. I feel safe here in the neighbourhood and don't mind taking a walk in the evening. Many shops, GPs, pharmacy, supermarket, hairdressers and dining options. Also very nice that there are children living in the area and the community centre is always nice to stay with many activities.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy and, in my opinion, fairly safe neighbourhood. I've never felt uncomfortable, at least. Not during the day or late at night. I don't experience much nuisance and am otherwise very happy with the place where I live.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately it is 100% safe but that is almost everywhere. Nice nature atmosphere and beautiful to live in
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very nice neighbourhood, very tidy and beautiful, and I really enjoy it. The neighbourhood is also very close to the centre, so I can easily get everywhere. Paddepoel or Selwerd are a bit far away, but I hardly ever go there anyway. I sometimes miss social contact with neighbours, and a few more communal spaces in the neighbourhood would be nice.
Auto-translated to English by AIOldest neighbourhood of the city of Groningen, next to the inner ring of the centre. Nice fishermen's cottages, many students but also seniors. Cosy ......
Auto-translated to English by AIOld-fashioned cosiness, good contact with the neighbours
Auto-translated to English by AIHave been living here for 4 years!! Very nice.

Mooie huizen, goede voorzieningen, rustig, zo in de stad. toppp
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople are friendly, I enjoy living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is always something to do. There are supermarkets and plenty of other shops, cafeterias, fresh bread from the bakery. Market once a week, a nice park with ponds for fishing.
Auto-translated to English by AIFine, it's safe to cycle home in the evening but it's not super either. And there is a huge piece of nature
Auto-translated to English by AIActually, everything is just fine. There are several eateries in the neighbourhood, supermarkets are close by, bus stops, you can park your bike easily, and with the city beach there is also a beautiful and well-known green area.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything in the neighbourhood: shops, sports facilities, schools, community centres. So something for everyone.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is a shopping centre opposite here so I always have something to see and never get bored
Auto-translated to English by AIVery beautiful neighbourhood in Groningen. Lots of facilities such as various schools, gym, playgrounds and plenty of supermarkets and other shops. What is unpleasant is that there is often rubbish next to the bins. Furthermore, the neighbourhood has many nice small parks and you are within no time in a quiet natural environment where you can enjoy walking, running, cycling etc. All in all, this neighbourhood is perfect for students but also for families and other city dwellers.
