The neighbourhood isn't really green. There are many houses close together, despite that it is a relatively accessible neighbourhood.

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.

About Rijnstraat 25B, Groningen
At 83 m² and €219,500, the price per m² is about €2,644, which is well below the neighbourhood average of €4,214 per m². The asking price is 34% lower than the average in the Rivierenbuurt, partly because of the poor energy label G. Given the location and size, it's a relatively affordable entry into the area, but you'll need to budget for energy costs and possible renovations.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the apartment has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected. In the Rivierenbuurt, 34.6% of homes for sale have label A, and only 23.1% have label D or lower. So this apartment is among the least efficient in the neighbourhood, which is reflected in the lower asking price.
The Rivierenbuurt recorded 220 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a neighbourhood of this size. Resident reviews mention issues with drug users and noise. However, the area is also described as "cosy" and "accessible" by others. It's a mixed picture, so it's worth visiting at different times of day.
The central station is 1.1 km away, about a ten-minute walk.
