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 6, Groningen
The asking price of €339,500 is close to the neighbourhood average of €372,948 and slightly above the median of €325,000. Given the 82 m² size and energy label B, the price per m² works out to about €4,140, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,698 per m². So it's priced competitively for the area.
The apartment has energy label B, which is quite efficient for a pre-war building. In the Professorenbuurt, only about 7.8% of homes have label B, while a large share (29.7%) have label D or lower. So this home is above average in energy performance, meaning lower heating costs compared to many older properties in the area.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. Groningen's main station connects to destinations across the Netherlands.
The Professorenbuurt has a mix of students and families, with several primary schools within walking distance and playgrounds nearby. Residents mention it feels safe and has a cosy, neighbourly atmosphere. However, the area is very urban with a high population density, so it's not a quiet suburban setting.
The floor area is 82 m², which typically accommodates two to three rooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The plot size is not provided, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor space, though the neighbourhood has several parks and playgrounds nearby.
Parking is not detailed in the listing. The Professorenbuurt is a dense urban area, and residents note that bike parking can be tight. Car parking may be limited, so you would need to check with the municipality or agent about permits and availability.
