About Rijksstraatweg 4, Haren (Gr)
The asking price is 121% above the neighbourhood average of €677,000, making it the most expensive home currently for sale in Haren-Noord. However, the floor area of 584 m² is 195% larger than the neighbourhood average of 198 m², and the energy label A+++ is exceptional. The price per square metre works out at about €2,560, which is below the neighbourhood average of €3,761 per m². So while the total price is high, the value per square metre is relatively keen.
An A+++ label means the home is extremely energy-efficient, so heating and electricity bills should be very low compared to older homes. The exact savings depend on usage, but you can expect minimal energy waste. The neighbourhood has only 28.6% of homes at A+ or better, so this is a standout feature.
Haren-Noord has a high proportion of families with children (640 households with kids out of 1,428 homes) and a low share of single-person households (505). The area is quiet and green, with good schools nearby. The average household size is 2.5, reflecting a family-oriented community.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a five-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach Groningen city centre or connect to the wider rail network.
The closest supermarket is Poiesz at 1.1 km, followed by Albert Heijn at 1.3 km. Both are within a ten-minute walk. There is also a Lidl and another Albert Heijn within 1.6 km, so daily shopping is convenient.

It is an apartment, but with 584 m² of floor space it is more like a grand residence. The building dates from 1936 and has been brought to an A+++ energy standard, which is rare for a home of this age.
Yes, the nearest park or public garden is 0.88 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood itself is leafy, with many trees and gardens, so green space is abundant.
