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 28A, Groningen
The asking price is 49% above the neighbourhood average of €332,820, which is a significant premium. However, this apartment is larger (93 m² vs. 80 m² average) and has an A energy label, whereas only 34.6% of homes in the area have label A. The price is at the top end of the local market (max €500,000), so it's on the high side but reflects the home's quality.
The Rivierenbuurt is a very urban, central neighbourhood with a young population. Reviews are mixed: some residents love the proximity to the centre and the quiet streets, while others mention noise and nuisance from drug users.

The nearest train station is 1.1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is well-connected, and the centre is also within easy walking distance.
PLUS is just 235 m away, Aldi at 311 m, and AH to go at 473 m. For organic options, Ekoplaza is 921 m. Daily shopping is very convenient.
Parcival College (secondary) is 155 m away, and De Vrije School Groningen (primary) is 184 m. Other nearby schools include ODS De Starter (primary, 407 m) and Gomarus College (secondary, 568 m).
The apartment has an A energy label, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, 34.6% of homes have label A, and none have A+. This means lower energy costs compared to older homes in the area.
The neighbourhood recorded 220 total crimes, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. Resident reviews mention drug users and noise as issues, but also describe it as a 'top location' that is quiet and cosy. It's best to visit at different times to get a feel.
