Everyone is helpful to each other. We are there for each other and if someone needs something, there are more than enough people willing to help. On the other hand, for families it is so difficult to get a family home with a small garden and own front door. There are far too few terraced houses that consist of just an average single-family home with 2 floors. That makes expanding the family terribly difficult. In terms of education, unfortunately I don't hear many good things within my circle of acquaintances. More attention should be paid to the interaction between teacher and student. And communication with parents could definitely be better. My daughter attends a playgroup and so far I only have good things to say about that, fortunately. Furthermore, one-on-one attention could help students. Moreover, I think that students in secondary schools should learn about the Second World War. It is an important part of our history.

About Slachthuisstraat 249, Groningen
The asking price is the highest of the 23 homes currently for sale in the Bloemenbuurt, and about 30% above the neighbourhood average of €260,870. However, this apartment is also 48% larger than the typical home here (98 m² vs 66 m²) and has an A energy label, which is rare in a neighbourhood where most homes have labels C or lower. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value space and efficiency.
Homes here sell fast, the average time on the market is just 16 days. That's based on 62 recent sales. So if you're interested, the market moves quickly, though the price of this apartment may mean it stays available a bit longer than cheaper homes.
The Bloemenbuurt has a mix of residents, but families with children make up a smaller share, about 325 households out of 1,850. One resident notes that finding a family home with a garden is difficult here. There are primary schools within walking distance, and secondary schools are also close by. The neighbourhood is diverse and sociable, but it's not a classic family suburb.
The apartment has energy label A, which is very efficient. In the Bloemenbuurt, only 18% of homes have label A, and none have A+. So this home will have relatively low heating costs compared to most properties in the area.
The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short cycle.
Yes, a park or public garden is just 200 metres away, on your doorstep. That's one of the closest amenities in the neighbourhood.
