Frequently asked questions
About Sabangplein 19, Groningen
Is €237,500 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price is 30% below the neighbourhood average of €340,365, but the floor area (47 m²) is also 43% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 82 m². Given the compact size and energy label D, the price is in line with what you would expect for a small pre-war apartment in this area.
What is the neighbourhood like?
The Indische buurt is an old, diverse neighbourhood close to the centre. It has a high address density (very urban) and many single-person households. Reviews are mixed: some residents appreciate the diversity and accessibility, while others note the low incomes and older housing stock. The area has a park nearby and is quiet in parts.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 1.3 km away, about a ten-minute walk.
What supermarkets are nearby?
Jumbo and Aldi are both 267 m away (just around the corner), and Albert Heijn is 489 m away (a five-minute walk). There are several other supermarkets within a short distance.
What schools are in the area?

What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This is a mid-range label; heating costs will be moderate but not as low as with A or B labels. In the neighbourhood, 41.4% of homes have label D or lower, so this is common for pre-war housing.

Experiences from Indische buurt
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Old neighbourhood, generally low income.
Auto-translated to English by AII feel at home in this neighbourhood. Very diverse, safe and easily accessible.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood with lots of nature, close to the centre but very quiet.
Auto-translated to English by AII haven't lived here very long, but I'm especially a fan of the green surroundings and walking routes. I was also surprised that people from my block like to chat and know each other reasonably well. On the street I don't always feel very safe, because there are relatively many people with (visible) mental health and/or drug problems. Yet after living here for a short time, I noticed that I need to worry less than I thought and most people are very friendly here. I am less of a fan of the amenities here; only the Plus supermarket is in the neighbourhood, but that's not necessarily very affordable for everyone. Furthermore, there isn't much within walking distance. I also notice that, for example, on my street there is quite a lot of litter (now also a lot of old fireworks) and the gardens are generally not maintained. This could certainly be improved (:
Auto-translated to English by AInice park, close to the centre, two supermarkets nearby, also two hairdressers, community centre with many activities and cheap lunch/dinner around the corner. Second-hand clothing shop, flower shop and a few other shops, including two cafeterias, a pizza delivery, in short plenty of amenities. And also just over 5 minutes by bike from the centre.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave been living here for 5 years, very pleasant. Lots of nice people. Good for starters.

Experiences from Oud-Noord
How residents experience their district
Very 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIOld neighbourhood, generally low income.
Auto-translated to English by AII feel at home in this neighbourhood. Very diverse, safe and easily accessible.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is quite cosy, though sometimes dirty because rubbish isn't put in the bins, so hygiene isn't always great. Lots of students, so sometimes there aren't enough places to park your bike. There isn't really a neighbourhood association or other communities that I'm part of. The area also has a primary school, a university of applied sciences, a nice park, several playgrounds and plenty of other amenities. Definitely a safe neighbourhood, but the houses are very old. All in all, a great place to live.
