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 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant neighbours all around, cosy, many amenities in the area, fairly green, people greet each other or have a chat. Annual neighbourhood party. Easily accessible from both sides of the ring road. Safe feeling of living. Both students, elderly and families.
Auto-translated to English by AIA good neighbourhood, but a lot of waste from the Orientals on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood! Often there is rubbish from the shop in the street. Otherwise, it's a fun neighbourhood!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause of the many 'students' and junkies in my complex, I don't feel very safe.. also had a break-in at my previous home and now have very unpleasant neighbours. The housing association does nothing about it

About Van Hamelstraat 27B, Groningen
The asking price is 31% below the neighbourhood average of €372,948 and also under the median of €325,000. Given the 101 m² floor area, that works out at about €2,564 per m², well below the neighbourhood average of €4,698 per m². So it is priced keenly for the area.
The energy label is D. In the Professorenbuurt, 29.7% of homes have label D or lower, while 26.6% have A+++. So this home is in the lower half for efficiency, meaning heating costs will be higher than in a better-insulated home.
The Professorenbuurt has a mix of students, families and older residents. There are several primary schools within walking distance, playgrounds and parks. One resident says: "All in all, this neighbourhood is perfect for students but also for families and other city dwellers."
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle.
Residents feel safe. One review says: "Definitely a safe neighbourhood, but the houses are very old." Another mentions: "Safe feeling of living." The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 464, but without a per-capita figure it is hard to compare.
One resident notes that there are sometimes not enough places to park your bike. Car parking is not specifically mentioned in the reviews, but in a dense urban area with many students, it may be limited.
