NeighbourhoodThis 1935 apartment on Van Royenlaan sits in Helpman, a leafy part of Groningen. With 104 m² of living space, it offers generous proportions for a flat of this era.

For context, apartments in Groningen average €3,895 per m².
Helpman feels calm and residential, with wide streets and plenty of trees. It's a neighbourhood where many people live alone, over half of households are single-person. One resident describes it as "mostly every man for himself, with occasional attempts to build a community," and notes that contact with neighbours is limited. The same resident appreciates having three supermarkets within walking distance, but finds the 15-minute bike ride to the city centre a drawback. Based on this single review, the neighbourhood scores 7.13 out of 10. For more context, see the Helpman neighbourhood.
For your morning bread run, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with another branch and a Lidl a couple of streets away. Poiesz and Jumbo are a ten-minute walk. Schools are well within reach: the Montessori Vaklyceum (secondary) is a five-minute walk, and primary schools like De Tamarisk and Joseph Haydn-School are also close by. The neighbourhood falls under the municipality of Groningen, which manages local amenities and green spaces.
The apartment is listed through two channels, including RJ Makelaardij. At present, the home is available for sale via both sources.

I have almost no contact with neighbours. There are three supermarkets within walking distance. Other amenities are also nearby. To get to the city centre, it's always a 15-minute bike ride, which is a shame.

About Van Royenlaan 46, Groningen
The asking price of €349,500 is close to the median of €339,500 for homes for sale in Helpman. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €3,895, and this apartment works out at about €3,360 per m², which is slightly below that average. Given the size and location, the price appears in line with the local market.
The energy label is E. In Helpman, most homes for sale have a better label, only 22% are rated D or lower. An E label means the property is less energy-efficient, so heating costs are likely to be higher than in a more modern home. It's worth factoring that into your budget.
The city centre is about 2.1 km from the apartment, which is a 15-minute bike ride according to a resident. Walking would take around 25 minutes. The neighbourhood itself has shops and amenities within walking distance, so you don't need to go into the centre for daily errands.
