Haren-Centrum, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Rijksstraatweg sits in the heart of Haren, a village-like part of Groningen. At 84 m² it's compact but well laid out, with an energy label D, not the most efficient, but workable. The asking price of €320,000 is 64% below the neighbourhood average of €889,760, partly because the home is smaller than the typical 159 m² in the area. Compared to other apartments in Groningen, this is a keenly priced option.
Haren-Centrum is a small, quiet neighbourhood with about 1,185 residents. Many live alone (375 single-person households) and a third are over 65, so it's a calm, mature area.

There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the low crime figures (66 total incidents) suggest a safe environment. For more context, see the Haren-Centrum neighbourhood.

About Rijksstraatweg 150B, Haren (Gr)
The asking price is 64% below the neighbourhood average of €889,760, but the apartment is also 47% smaller than the typical home in Haren-Centrum (84 m² vs 159 m²). Given the size and energy label D, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact apartment in this area.
The energy label is D. This means the home is moderately efficient, heating costs will be higher than a modern A-rated property, but not extreme. In the neighbourhood, 30% of homes have label D or lower, so it's not unusual for a 1972 build.
The train station is 1.3 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes commuting to Groningen city centre or further afield quite convenient.
Ekoplaza is 134 m away, Jumbo is 206 m, and Albert Heijn is 368 m. All are within a five-minute walk, so daily shopping is very easy.
The nearest primary school is Brederoschool at 2.7 km, and the nearest secondary school is Montessori Vaklyceum at 3.1 km. There are also special education options like Kentalis Dr. J. de Graafschool.
There are currently 25 homes for sale in Haren-Centrum, with prices ranging from €275,000 to €1,795,000. The median price is €995,000, so this apartment is at the lower end of the market.
