Helpman, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis 1935 apartment on Van Starkenborghstraat sits in Helpman, a leafy part of Groningen. With 101 m² of living space and an energy label C, it offers a solid base. The asking price of €339,500 is exactly in line with the median in the neighbourhood, making it a fair deal compared to other apartments in Groningen.
Helpman feels more like a village than a city district. One resident sums it up: "Mostly every man for himself, with occasional attempts to build a community." The area scores a 7.13 out of 10 from that single review. It's a neighbourhood of singles and students, over half of households are one-person, and the average household size is just 1.5. The neighbourhood Helpman is densely built but has a park or public garden just a couple of streets away.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, and a second Albert Heijn plus Lidl are just around the corner. Schools are a five-minute walk: the Montessori Vaklyceum and Zernike College for secondary education, and Joseph Haydn-School for primary. The municipality Groningen has plenty more to offer, but the essentials are right here.

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.
