Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about two years and there is more than enough access to shops/churches/schools etc, that was never a problem. However, this neighbourhood is poorly connected to public transport, which really should be better. This was a major reason for me to want to move, it was too far from e.g. Zernike, friends, or everything on the north side of the city. The neighbourhood always felt safe otherwise. Most of the nuisance came from schoolchildren during breaks at e.g. the shops and around the schools. They often don't put their rubbish in a bin, which I personally found very annoying. Other than that, the neighbourhood is perfectly fine.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's cosy, the neighbourhood is beautifully green. Shops nearby, public transport nearby and the A28 nearby. Also many schools, primary and secondary. Hoornse Plas is within cycling distance. Open-air swimming pool De Papiermolen is within walking distance. In 10 minutes by bike you're in the city centre, perfect!

About Van Lenneplaan 379, Groningen
The asking price of €215,000 is 24% below the average asking price in De Wijert (€283,371) and also below the median of €249,000. Apartments in the neighbourhood sell on average for €261,305 and are typically under contract within 20 days. Given the energy label G and the 1964 construction, the price is keen compared to the local market.
Energy label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. In De Wijert, most homes for sale have labels C or better, so this apartment is an outlier. The exact costs depend on usage and energy prices, but it is worth factoring in a higher monthly outlay.
Homes in De Wijert sell quickly: the average time from listing to sale is 20 days. This suggests a fast-moving market where well-priced properties attract buyers soon after coming on the market.
