A modern apartment in the Zeeheldenbuurt
This newly built apartment on Toxopeusstraat 28 sits in Groningen's Zeeheldenbuurt, a lively part of Oud-Zuid. The building dates from 2021 and carries an A++++ energy label, so it is exceptionally efficient. At €1,480 per month, the rent sat 32% above the neighbourhood average of €1,119, which made sense given the 75 m² floor area was 32% larger than the typical 57 m² in the area. For context, apartments in Groningen average €1,119 per month, so this one was on the high side, but you were paying for a newer, larger home. This home has not been online since 5 November 2026.
